In creating this post, I learned how to fix pictures that are upload sideways onto Blogger from my old digital camera. It didn't take long to get Faith facing the correct direction, and in the process I learned that you can use Paint to convert .jpg files to .png files!

Motivation
Baby Faith's birth announcement came in the mail today, so I convinced myself that I should leave my cross stitch bag at home and take my knitting instead for Tuesday night stitching at The Stitch Store. Fortunately the cross stitchers are pretty accepting of other forms of stitching, so hopefully I'll finish the second burp cloth well before Faith starts kindergarten!

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...
