Well, the Ravelympics finished on Sunday. It was quite a challenge and I didn’t manage to do everything that I wanted to do. Most notably, the blankie of doom. This was A Challenge. I will admit that. And I worked hard on it. However, it is hard to find [...]

Well, the ravelympics are nearly over and I have done fairly well. The blankie of doom will not be finished, sadly, but have taken a different WIP out of the cobwebbed closet to see if I can finish it before the end of the Winter Olympics. The deadline is sometime early Monday morning [...]

I have bought many [...]

Well, this morning I woke up to no snow. I was hugely disappointed, especially when other people were bragging about how much they got. At half 8 it started. And then at half 10 we had about 4 inches. It literally happened that quickly. So, of course, it was an [...]

Goodness me. It’s finally 2010. I hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and a good New Year. We all did here, in the purple household. It was fantastic as we had our first Christmas with our little one, who is now nearly 5 months. I can’t believe it!
I [...]

Well, I have started the stained glass afghan from my previous entry. I am rather impressed with it so far. The picture ain’t that great, but that’s ok. When I finish it (in 73 years time!) the final pictures will look so much better
As you can see, this is not [...]
