Whew, it's been a while hasn't it?!

I'm getting a camera! Hopefully it will user friendly like advertised so I can upload some of my projects. Lots has been happening in the life of Elaine since my last post forever ago! I've made too many projects to name-didn't even keep up on ravelry with them! My son graduated high school! We went on vacation a couple times. Most recently to Graceland and Dollywood. All 3 of us converted to Catholicism and my son was baptized! But I'm excited to get a camera I can use. Keeping my fingers crossed!

My latest yarn project

i've been wanting something to cover the very nice wooden dinner table hubby and i got from his mother. so i've been working on a pineapple tablecloth. i'm not sure i'll ever get done. for every 2 rounds i get done, i have to rip out 1. quite frustrating.

nothing much

hoping to get back here soon. so many things have running thru my head. just trying to get my bearings this time.

work work work!

been so busy lately its great getting to use my puter for some mindless babble! i've still got to get a lots of pics of fo's to post. and i finally made a sock that fit! my first one was uber tiny! so the 2nd one i tried on as i went. fits like a glove. and the first one has elfen toes, you know, very pointy! but my 2nd one looks great! hooray! and i made my first poll today! for a ravelry group! all-in-all today has been awesome. a totally for-me day! been wanting one of those for a while! yeah!

And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

the new year!!

the first day of the new year and already i've got a new fo! i started it new years eve and finished it this afternoon! its a very pretty but basic christmas stocking for my son. there are some places where its kinda obvious to me that this is my first sock/stocking but hey, if my kid likes it who am i to argue? i'm going to try and post a pic of it here coz i'm very proud of it! wish me luck!

long time, no posts

whoa, can time really get away with a person! hehehe so the holidays have come and gone, sans New Years, and the pace around here has gone down! whew!

so now its "resolution" time. the past few yrs (3 or more) i've not made any resolution. reason being, i got tired of feeling like a failure at the end of the year when i realized less than a month into the new year, those resolutions were a thing of distant memory! well, this year, mine are craft related. i have an acct on ravelry and its in dire need of some upkeep, ie posting photos, and logging in needles/hooks (types and sizes and whatnot), yarns w pics since not all yarns come with pics, updating progress on wips, and ufos.

i didn't realize til 2 days b4 christmas that my son had a 12 yr old stocking! and it was falling apart!! so i've perusing all the sites looking for a patt i like and is somewhat easy, but i've looked at so many i think i may have gone blind! i would like to think that i could and would make a stocking for my son and dh and myself, but realistically, i'm only shooting to make my son one. will soften the burden if i don't feel pressure! but i figure if i do 1 stocking every 3-4 months, done deal!

well, i need to go now and do some youtube to see if i can figure out how to do some color work knitting, intarsia style.

peace out,
