Gearing Down

Well, our stint in trucking is coming to a close soon, though we don't know exactly when. Here's some shots from the last while.

Being in the truck has provided lots of knitting time! Look at those cute baby socks! The best part is that they are made from scraps of socks I knit for me (on the right) and Michael (on the left).

Notice the prettied up water tower.

Beautiful scenery.

Some laughs at our reflections in the side of the tanker. We laughed hard.

Commissioned Sewing Project

I have a friend who really helped me get into knitting who is also a spinner. Occasionally we trade craft talents. She wanted a particular kind of bag she had seen on etsy and she had a special piece of fabric gifted to her that she wasn't about to tackle sewing herself.

So I agreed to sew her the bag, and she agreed to spin me some yarn! Sorry, I don't have a pic of the yarn, but it's fantastic!

Easter Eggs!

Well, I borrowed my little friend miss K again to dye eggs. Since I always feel just a little too silly to do it alone.

This year it was incident free! We got some great colors too! (note: I like to buy the peewee sized eggs at Price Chopper, as they are only $1 a dozen, and little eggs make for a more colorful bowl).
