Painting and Spinning...never a dull moment!

Just a couple class projects that we did in my watercolor class.
The gals all did really great.

Last night was supposed to be our last class, but we didn't get
completed, so we will have a final class next week.
What a great class!

I've been doing some spinning also.

This will be sock yarn. I love the color. :)
I can just see it made into socks!

Muffy......

Muffy is sure growing. We are enjoying her so much.

The last picture was taken this morning.
She is 12 weeks old now.

I am going to spin today. I have some periwinkle roving that I'm spinning into sock yarn.
The weather is icky, so it's a good day to be inside.

Puppies and Socks

I finished another sock pattern last week.
I named these "Autumns Harvest".
It is an easy pattern to memorize, and I really
like the way the socks turned out.

I will use this pattern over and over, as I really like
the way they turned out.
I LOVE my handmade socks!!




Now....news about the puppy........

So, Muffy has decided to hold up the other ear
and let the one that she was holding up flop down. LOL

Gotta love the look!!

Heeeeerrrrreeeeee'ssss Muffy!

We have a new baby Yorkie at our house.
We've missed our Sassy soooooo much, so couldn't resist when
this little girl became available.

This is Muffy....taken when she was 3 weeks old.
:)

Here she is at 7 weeks. She weighed in at 1 1/3 lb on the day I got her
at 6 1/2 weeks.

Here she is at 8 weeks. She decided to hold her ears up for a couple
of days, and then got tired of that look and let them droop again. LOL

Here she is at 9 1/2 weeks (taken yesterday)
She's trying a new look with the ears. *ggg*
She weighed in at almost 2 lb today!
She's getting BIG. *grins*

Our 110 - 120 lb yellow lab is scared of her!
She's a bully. LOL

Well, this is it for me for today.
Hopefully I can start being more faithful here again.

Another Waffle Stitch Toe Up Sock pattern

I finished another pair of socks the other day.
I named them "Another Waffle Stitch Toe Up Socks".
I used Wildfoote Luxury Sock Yarn in the color 'Symphony' for these socks,
which I purchased here at FABRICATIONS, our local fabric/yarn shop.
The pattern can be found here:

This is the pattern I will be using when I teach the sock class this winter.

I'm FINALLY back!

Our grandson got married on the 22nd of July.
The entire month of July we had company so I wasn't
doing a lot of knitting. I LOVED having my kids home so I'm definitely not complaining!
I sure miss my Mandi now that she's gone. She was here with us for 3 weeks.
What a good kid she is!

BUT.....last night I finished a pair of socks that I started after
everyone left. These socks are made with either 3 or 4 balls of scrap
yarn. What a GREAT way to use up leftovers. And a challenge to
get colors to coordinate and all. I really like these socks!

Painting for tonight's class

I have spent the day today preparing for tonight's watercolor class. This is what we will do tonight....at least for those who want to do it. :) This was a fun painting to do.

I've been MIA lately. It's been really busy around here, but after next week it should slow down for me.
