More Stash Reduction!!!

I have just joined the Stashalong and I am working on the WIP goal. I am about finished with my first goal. I started a scarf today out of the same yarn that I made Cleo's toy out of. I had a whole other skein plus the rest of that skein, so I am using it to make a scarf using a pattern from the book One Skein Wonders. I have had to book for awhile, I just haven't made much from it. This is a really quick pattern. I really like it. I will post some pictures of it tomorrow.

Today, I also packed my bag of knitting to take to Gulftreat with me. Tomorrow my mom and my sister won't be here so I will have all day to work on Judie Storie's prayer shawl. I am so close to being done. I am ready for it to be off the needles! That will probably inspire me to work on it. I may go over to the church with my mom and sister tomorrow. There is a bunch of preschool kids coming to the church to play and I may go to see them. Work on my knitting, watch kids play, etc, etc. It may be fun. Plus I know that they will have Popsicles. I like Popsicles. A lot. lol.

I am so happy! I am using up a lot of yarn, and it actually feels really good. Most of what I am making now is going to charity and it is nice to know that what I am making is going to warm someone up in the winter.

I'll talk to you all tomorrow!

Cat and Mouse

This morning I crocheted a little mouse for my kitty cat Cleo. It is so cute and quick to make. I loved making it. It also used up a little bit of one skein. It would be great for scraps. I will probably make some more today.

Tonight Lindsey is spending the night!!! I am very excited. I am so going to take a ton of pictures so that we can have a sleepover page in my scrapbook which I bought yesterday!!!!! I have already filled up 15 pages! It is so cute! I found some more pictures and edited them. Here they are:

Aren't they adorable! The baby is Alec. I wrote about him a couple of months ago. The little girl is his big sister Ava. They are so sweet. I would carry Alec around all day if I could!

I am getting my hair cut today! Probably nothing drastic. I don't know. Maybe choppier layers.

New Camera, Hopefully Less Stash!

Last night I was given a really expensive camera as a gift for making the National Junior Honors Society! I am sooooo excited. I am hoping to start scrapbooking and my current camera is well, crappy to say the least. I already have ideas for pages!!!

About the hopefully less stash thing. I have asked to join The 2007 Summer Stash Shout Out and the Stashalong. For the Stashalong I am probably going to use the WIP/FO section. I am going to say two pairs of mittens a week, one WUA square a week, Judie Stories prayer shawl, Fun Fetti scarf, and a screaming stash. Does that sound good? I really don't think that it will take me a month to knit all of that, so I will probably throw in some other stash projects!

Pictures and Friends

Oh my gosh! School is almost over! I have three exams left and then I will be done. I am looking forward to summer, but I am also dreading the end of school. I will miss my friends so much! I can't imagine not seeing my friends every day! I am so used to seeing them. Lindsey and I are heading off to camp on June 3, but we will have my computer with me and we will post often. I know that we will be able to get some pictures so I may have some pictures them. Anyway, here are a bunch of pictures now!






The top one is me and Lindsey. The second one is me and Danielle. The third one is me and Shelby. The last one is the gang at lunch. The redhead is Patrick, the one who is laying down is Zach, and the last one is William.

I am not done with Judie Stories prayer shawl, but I have knit two. I made one for myself. I have been so stressed out lately. I have had exams and a ton of projects, plus all of the stupid end of the year crap that people have to deal with. I did get tapped into the National Junior Honors Society though. I knit myself a shawl out of white Homespun. I have been using the shawl pattern from the book Back On Blossom Street by Debbie Macomber. The second one that I knit is for Lindsey. She has been dealing with the same stress I have plus more because she is moving. I knit hers out of red Homespun. I am trying to use up most of my Homespun by making prayer shawls and shrugs.

Wednesday is my last day of school. Yay!

Hye Everybody!

I am planning on starting up a blog for the Last Minute Knitted Gifts Knitalong soon! So, for anyone who is interested tell your friends about it! I have been knitting so much from that book! I made the baby sweater, the hats (3 times), the rib scarf, and the bunny. SO much STUFF!!!!!!! It is all so pretty. I would have pictures but my dad is not being very helpful in finding the camera cord. SO, still no pictures. Sigh.

Hey!

Hey all! It is Sarah! I have been knitting so much and using up so much yarn! I have been using the money I would have normally used buying yarn, to go towards books and magazines. Baby items and Christmas presents are the main things on my knitting list right now. I have seven gifts done and I am working on three. I have pictures of all of them, but we rearranged furniture and got new stuff from DaddyBill's house down at the beach, so I can't find the cord to hook up my camera.

I got a bunch of new stuff for my bedroom! It is all antique and so pretty! The new bed set is black and white people fabric. The dresser and other dresser and badside table along with the mirror were all my mother's grandmothers. I got these two huge bookshelves, that I only need the first two shelves to hold my books. And I have two! I put pictures and my calander and my books on one of the shelves. On the other one, I put my stuffed animals and my knitting books. There are still two empty shelves, so I want to buy wicker baskets with black febric on the inside to put my yarn in so I can get rid of the plastic thing it is all in now!

In my other knitting news, I have knitted so much! I have finished the two sets of dishcloths, two scarf, two eyepillows, and one purse for Christmas presents! Yea Me!!
