Give A Way

As I am moving and purging I'm going to start passing on charts I've already done =)  So if you would like either one of these let me know and I'll draw names Wednesday Night.

The first one is the OOP Silver & Gold by Bent Creek pictured below. 

The next one is Shepherd's Bush Fright.  It has the remaining silks in it as well.

Bent Creek & Crochet

I am finally posting!!!  My camera is acting a little wonky and so I'm just getting some pictures taken.  The first one isn't that great...for some reason I just couldn't get it to come out right.  I'm sure it has nothing to do with operator error =) 

This is Silver & Gold by Bent Creek.  It's a tiny little ornament =)  I love it!

My current cross stitch WIP is Big Round Zipper...by Bent Creek.  I haven't been putting a lot of work into this piece and need to get caught up.  It's so much bigger than I had anticipated but really fun and fast to stitch. 

The main thing I've been working on is the beautiful Bella Luna Scarf by Nicki Epstein and Lion's Brand.  I just love their website!  I'm actually really proud of this piece because it's the first pattern I've ever done.  I haven't been crocheting that long.  I find I really enjoy it when I want to keep my hands busy but I don't want to sit down and concentrate on a pattern.  Of course, the flowers will be another story...I'm a little scared of those!

One other thing....the ABC Stitch-A-Long!  I'm done with A-O and will be whipping out P this weekend.  I love that these are so cute with the bonus of being fast and easy..instant gratification!

Some exciting news...I'm Moving!  My home that I've lived in (minus 5 years for college) since 1987 is being torn down.  I love this little 135 year old place, but it's tired and time to say goodbye.  My parents own it and they still live on the same property so it's not a super sad event.  We have found a wonderful house on 80 acres and it's 3 times the size of this cottage with storage!!!  I am looking forward to a major purging of clutter and stuff.  If we need it or love it..it's coming with us everything else must go!  I will post pictures of the new place as we begin our move in a couple weeks!   Here is our little house last year....we are having a great mild winter with NO SNOW!!!  Way to go Idaho!!!

So if you want the pattern, DMC floss, and linen used to create this design...please leave me another comment and I'll draw another name...say Wednesday evening. 

PIF - Pay It Forward - Giveaway

Here is a PIF I did for Lynn.  Unfortunately, after half a dozen or so attempts over a few months to contact her for mailing information I have decided to give it away.  However, if this should catch the intended person's attention it will go to her =)  If you would like a chance at this little pinkeep please leave me a comment and I'll draw names on Sunday night!  I would encourage all you bloggers to do a PIF it's lots of fun!  I will post the other one I did this week when it get arrives at it's destination! 

Happy New Year 2010!!!

WOW is it 2010 already?  It feels like it was just Y2K!   I feel great about this year already.  I got to be with good friends and family and toasted the new year surrounded in love.  I plan on making 2010 the best year ever! 

May your trouble be less and your blessing be more

and nothing but happiness come through your door!
