A Finished Object...

-

 ...finally!

I've been so set on finishing this project that most everything else has been ignored, including blogging.

This is Mermaid Heart:

Mermaid Heart

Specs:
Started 5/20/2021
Finished 6/9/2021
Pattern by Just Nan
Modifications: Used a greener color of Kreinik Blending Filament

I can finish it as a flat piece or a pillow, but I haven't quite decided which way to go.

I did manage to put in a few minutes on the shawl and tapestry during the week. Since I missed WIP-it Wednesday, here's the current list.

WIPs Roll Call
Worked On:

  1. Pacific Waters tapestry (weaving) [Ravelry]
    Added another few picks
  2. Marionberry Shawl [Ravelry]
    Tinked back another patter section and started it again. My main problem with this shawl is that I have too much time between sessions and it's tough getting back into a rhythm.

  1. Illusion hexagons [Ravelry]
  2. Look Through My Window quilt for me (quilting) 
  3. Malachite (needlepoint) 
  4. Mermaid and the Sea (cross stitch)
  5. Pure Comfort Cardigan (knitting) [Ravelry] 

Queued

    - Mermaid Songs (quilting)
    - Noche de los Muertos quilt (quilting)
  2. Ready to start

Blogiversary Contest...

...Happy Blogiversary to me!! It's been 3 years since I started this blog. In that time I've gone from being mostly a cross-stitcher and quilter to being a knitter and spinner. I still cross stitch and quilt, but I spend far more of my craft time knitting and spinning. In honor of the blog turning 3, I'm having a contest! Leave a comment in this post to be entered in a drawing for a skein of Sundara Petals Collection sock yarn (or a skein of my handspun, if you prefer). The winner will be chosen at random from all entrants. Deadline: 1/12/09 at Midnight (Pacific time) Good luck! (Jaywalker socks in progress)

Yeah, who knew I'd still be doing this five years later? There have been a few changes since my first post . I'm no longer just a stitcher and quilter. I've added knitter, spinner, and weaver to the list. I also dabble in macro photography I changed the name of the blog to be more "me." I changed the layout. I have more than one reader. (Don't burst my bubble, please. LOL!) I've settled into a MWF schedule of posting, except when life and work get in the way. I still find the blog a useful journal of the projects I have in process and my mindset at the time I'm working on them. A little personal stuff gets thrown in from time to time. So, for now, blogging is still working for me. If you've been reading all along...thanks for joining me on this little journey! I plan on continuing as long as it is still useful for me. OK, on to the contest: Leave a comment on this post by Midnight PST, Wednesday 1/19/11. (No, multiple comments will ...

Eye Candy Friday...

...is it time to go home yet? We have hollyhocks growing in the garden: and Mega Monkey flowers: It rained a bit yesterday and this morning so everything is covered with a light layer of raindrops. These tomato flowers looked very cool with all the little drops: And the Lucky Lantern abutilon had a few drops: Our berry harvest is out of control: While I love the berry galettes that the Husband has been baking, I'm afraid my waistline can't handle too many more! Up this weekend: Some household chores and then crafting. I'll continue rotating through the crafts, keeping needlepoint and knitting as the TV crafts and working on the others during the day. I also want to choose the block size for my attic windows quilt so I can start cutting out the feature squares. I'd like to see some progress on this quilt soon! .
