Tonight I had a great dinner with my good friend rhymeswithfun for our belated Christmas gift exchange. I will have to post tomorrow about the top secret project I’ve spent the last few weeks working on for her, but I just had to post tonight about the ADORABLE owls she made for me. I absolutely love them. Check out the little guy’s hair!!

My new yarn swift showed up today so I went digging for some skeins to wind. And look at this beauty I found in the bottom of the stash!

I’m thinking of sewing up a carrying/storage case for my DPNs that are scattered randomly around the house in odd places. (The Canadian has sat on his fair share stuck in the couch cushions – ouch!) I dug through my fabric stash and have narrowed it down to these two choices: a traditional Japanese floral or Alexander Henry’s Cutting A Rug. Which would you choose?

Not usually a combo I would enjoy, but these stitch markers were just too cute to resist!
Check out Scary Mary’s Etsy shop for more stitch marker cuteness!

A Common Thread is up through February 21, 2009. Go check it out!!

Seven blossoms and six more buds about to bloom. It’s -31F with the windchill right now.
This poor plant is clearly more confused than I am (and that’s saying something).
