Anti-March Madness

There is this "Madness," and it only comes in March... and my fiance has it. It's the only time he really pays any attention to basketball, and it consumes the entirety of his free time while it's on. Yesterday, I dealt with the madness of Dave and his best friend ogling over their brackets and yelling at the TV by retreating upstairs with my mp3 player, a book, and a knitting project.


How appropriate that I'm reading a book about American flags while knitting with a yarn named "Early American Ombre."

Yes, this burp cloth is the correct number of stitches... I've checked several times! And don't you like how I'm knitting directly from the "wrong" cloth instead of frogging the whole thing and having to wind it into a ball?

Sewing Room 2009

A lot happened in 2009 (most notably Dave and I got engaged!) so I didn't work on "The Sewing Room" very much.

But thanks to the relocation of The Stitch Store (formerly known at The Dogwood Patch) a few exits from my house and Terrie's Tuesday night stitch-ins, there is an end in sight for 2010! I will post pictures when it's ready for backstitching...

Sewing Room 2008

This was the year I busted my butt on "The Sewing Room" to finish the quilt so I could send my mother a picture of my progress for Valentine's Day. It was also the year of the Summer Olympics, which I watched with hoop in hand...

I took pictures of my progress on "The Sewing Room" on random holidays throughout the year.

Sewing Room 2006

When I started my blog, one of my intentions was to post lots of photographs the craft projects I am working on. I started the cross stitch project from my very first post, "The Sewing Room," in the summer of 2006. The first part I stitched was the sewing machine in the center of the room, then I moved on to the chest of drawers behind it.

Because it's finally Friday, here are two Harry Potter funnies in one post!

Friday Funny

At one point in time, I thought I was destined to marry the Prince Felipe of Spain... guess he married Letizia to keep an eye on the queen's sleeping habits.


My Spanish major friends from college may be the only ones who find this funny...
