quick update

-not too much stitching this week
but I have begun Bird in Hand
the talented ladies of BBD SAL keep me inspired and motivated


















I was going to stitch pink on brown....but chose scarlet and chartreuse instead

something different- we shall see how it turns out-













DH has come along way on knitting a scarf for one of his nieces

that is all for this week

pleasant handicraft hours to each of you....

starting out on a new foot!

I finished my first sock.......I know it needs a partner but I had fun wearing it .....

good thing they sell socks in stores or i would wrap bags around my feet as slowly as I knit...

also the first rose in the garden, with the first sock of the season  ;-)

and my next BBD SAL choice.......

but planning to stitch it in pink
on beige or brown linen












i also am liking this simple sampler idea from a BBD quilt book

in the meantime check out the fantastic finishes and progress of the other ladies in the BBD SAL group on the side bar.....


asundries this past week:
 made tab top valances for kitchen windows

and put a few stitches into feather your nest

poor photo
but maybe it will spur
me on to get this
completed








have a warmer week......smiles, corinna

complete ..."american star"

just woke from an after work nap....
finished this little lovely yesterday

have been knitting on first sock too
no progress photo but i did turn the heel this past weekend
will take photo when i complete it.......not too far to go

so now have to decide how to finish this piece

i need to visit the blogs of all the other ladies in the BBD SAL
i am sure to find inspiration there
along with all the other blogs i follow

off to google
have a happy weekend
