More Knitting!

I spent the morning at Knit Happy, working on square #16. As you can see in the photo, I did manage to find a few items to purchase. Ha!

This week, I started a knitting class at Haus of Yarn with my good friend, Marie, from work. We're making a swirl shawl using lace weight yarn and the lessons last for 3 weeks. This is my first foray into lace and I'm still a little nervous. I admit that one late night this week the above items were slung across the room in frustration. I had to start over 3 times! Knitting with a small piece of thread tests your patience.

Here's a close-up of the hexagon. Only about 80 more of these to go! The teacher was so funny - she said we should have 16 of these done before our class next Tuesday - uh, I don't think so Dave. I did buy some Addi lace needles today - maybe that will help!

Berry & Pink

My friend Libby gave me a card making set for my birthday. The cards already contained images, so I only needed to add a few things to finish them up.

They matched the Berry Sorbet ink from PTI perfectly.

Sorry for the glare on the pictures - the cardstock is glossy and picks up the camera flash.

I had fun making these quick cards. Hope you're enjoying your Saturday!

Score!

Earlier this month, during the countdown to the release of new stamps by Papertrey Ink, I won one of their prizes! It includes a stamp set and two color collections (ink, paper, ribbon, buttons in blue and red).

My package also included the items I ordered this month. I can't wait to create with them - hopefully this weekend.

Happy Birthday Rene'

I know this isn't your Ford Mustang convertible, but it's as close as I could get using my stamps. Have a wonderful birthday!!!

Sketch Sunday

My friend Becky is having a sketch challenge. Click here for the link to her post.

Here's the sketch and you're challenged to use scraps.
Here's my take on the sketch. I used the Everyday Classics set from PTI again.

The weather is still gorgeous here in Middle TN - we're going for a walk! Enjoy your day!

Thoughts on Saturday

These are my new Skecher shoes. I bought them last weekend at the outlets in Pigeon Forge. I love them! They are so comfortable, but mostly they're just totally CUTE.

Here are a couple of cards I made using images from Everday Classics from Papertrey Ink.

My husband and I spent an enjoyable morning at the Cedars of Lebanon State Park. We rode horses on an hour long trail ride. The weather was absolutely gorgeous - nice breeze and not hot. I'm sure we'll do this again.

Happy Saturday!
