Yeah, yeah, yeah, but I've got a great and beautiful excuse. Knitting progress is really boring to blog about when it's lace and all jumbled up. I'm doing my best to finish the Rona Shawl from http://www.knitpicks.com/ before the Olympics are finished. Here are some in progress pictures. Julia is coming along as well - I'll get back to that sweater after August 24th. Neither of the pictures really do the color justice. It might be closer to the pic on the right (definitely not as pink as the picture on the left indicates). Oh, and I joined the Mystery Stole 4 KAL last week! That will start on Sept. 4th! Are you in?!?

DH and I are celebrating 8 great years of marriage today. Here is a card I made for him using my Cricut and the software.

I've been knitting, knitting, knitting. I'm working on the second sleeve to Julia. Not many interesting pictures there, but I will share some from pictures from the exhibit called Radical Lace and Subversive Knitting. I was able to see the travelling exhibit at the Indiana State Museum.

Okay, so I'm sort of addicted to the candy boxes. I wasn't happy with the originals. I thought the ends were a bit too short. I made a bad assumption in making them, but JenC. came to the rescue as always! Thanks, Jen! So there are my other attempts (the one from yesterday is the one on the top right). The others continually get smaller. J made the comment that he really didn't like the smaller ones because they wouldn't hold much candy - LOL. Kids say the darndest things. The other picture is of a bunch of parts to a title for a 12 month swap. If you couldn't guess, my theme is birthday.
