Knitting update

So I've got a few WIPs I'm working on right now, I'm hoping to finish at least one of them during my Thanksgiving trip to Atlanta. 

First off is this neat little pullover. I'm knitting it with recycled yarn I got from frogging a clearance sweater, from the maternity section at old navy. Surprisingly, they don't serge the seams of their sweaters!

Not the best picture I'll admit, but I will post a better one when its all blocked and finished.

Next up is a baby blanket! I've been going nuts over this pattern, and I finally have an excuse to knit it. Max's cousin Dee is expecting a little baby girl in March. I'm knitting this one with Vanna's Choice baby yarn. Its super soft, machine washable, and I love the colors her yarn comes in. 

The pattern for this one is simple and fun, although I did have a hell of a time figuring out how to use two circ's at once! Thank god for Ravelry, and this video.

Just had to share it, Enjoy!

Sea mask

Quick post!

I made this mask for this months "Everyday Monster" challange!

Its compleatily hand made, I formed the mask with wonderflex, and painted and glittered her up! I love making mask, and it was a nice project to distract me from all of the stress in life right now!

Happy Halloween!

Hope everyone got their costumes done in time, and has a safe and fun time tonight!
I got my costume done right in the nick of time for the party Max and I went to last weekend. Im super happy with it!

"Welcome to Floston Paradise Mr. Dallas! 

More photos to come soon! 

Memory wrap

This is a pretty special piece to me for a few reasons. First off, this is the first knitted project I started . Secondly, this was knitted , frogged, and re knitted several times during a pretty hard time in my life. I would work on the wrap as a stress reviler, or when I was particualry distraught. Because it has so many painful memories attached to it, it took me a long time to pick it up and finish it.  I finally did last summer, one of the best summers I’ve had, so I could have it as a reminder of my past, and because its super compfy!

Anyways, here are some photos =)

Me with the little dogs, Jodie and Missy. 

Me in 2005! Like I said, I started this a long time ago. Look at that baby face! 

New Knits!

I have been SO lazy about taking photos of this one, but here it finaly is!

Pattern: Central Part Hoodie

Author:Heather Lodinsky

This is my first full sweater , and I loved kitting it! The pattern was clear and easy to follow, and the cable patterns kept it from getting borring. I made one major mistake on this...I didnt do a swatch, and when I blocked it, it stretched out like crazy! Woops! It worked out in my favor though, beacuse now its the perfect weight for a nice Florida sweater, and its a little lose so its super compfy. I realy want to get some different buttons for it, but the pink ones will work for now!

Let me know what you think!

Garden time!

I love gardening, and I lucked out this summer because we live somwhere that I can have one! I do a mix of planting from seed, and buying my plants.  I've always found planting relaxing, and a general place of zen for me. Its been a wonderfull escape for me, because its been a pretty stressfull summer.

The main bench where most of my flowers sit. In the middle, I have a little herb box, with sweet basil, oregano, and some thyme.


Here is my last seed starter of the season, some Scarlet Sage! Hopefully it will have time to grow and strenghten up before the cool weather comes in =)

And last but not least, my compost bin! I've got a ton of happy worms living in it, and I use all of the great dirt they make to start seeds, and re pot my plants.
