cute but too big

I guess I'm not around babies enough anymore. I made this sweet wrap baby sweater and it's WAY too big for even a 3 month, more like 9-12 months! lol Oh well, at least I know the pattern now and can make the smaller size for my cousin to give to a fellow resident.

One more project to add to my ongoing list of things to do!

Recycle!

I saved a large oatmeal container to use to store my knitting needles. I used a hot glue gun and some yarn to cover up the outside. It really makes a pretty display for all my different size needles! Have to find something to do when we are snowed in. ;-)

More snow!

I can't believe all the snow here in TX! Who would have thunk it?
We even got a snowman made!

Ice storm continued

It's getting worse out there. I hope my FIL heads home before he cannot make it!

Ice storm 07!

We are getting an ice storm out here in TX. I've included some pictures of my Jeep:















and my DD's bike:

Latest works

I'm on the baby blanket kick again. Actually it just seems like many people I know are expecting babies soon! Here are pictures of some of my latest works :

The blue blanket is a round ripple pattern. It worked up very quickly and I just love how it came out. It is for my high school band director and his wife who are expecting a little boy. I plan on making a matching hat and booties for them also. I got the pattern from here: http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/angelcrafts/patterns/roundripple.html

The second is a granny square afghan that I did up in a weekend. I have a bunch of yarn and this was a great way to use up some of it. The same applies to the blue afghan, it was all yarn from my stash and DH is happy I'm going through some of it. :)
