I'm making progress. I finished this in the last 24 hrs! I've done the back to the bunny vest for my niece. Her 2nd birthday party is this coming Saturday so I should have the front finished and the vest sewn up by then.



Now, on to the front . . .

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I can't believe it.
We had a wonderful Christmas and I'm looking forward to the new year--I hope 2007 brings to you everything you hope for and more! I hope for a great year of good health and prosperity for all my loved ones.

I'm setting the sock aside for a bit--I've turned the heel:


To work on a bunny vest for my niece for her 2nd birthday. I purchased the yarn for it today (Patons Canadiana in light rosewood):


I also made a turkey soup from the leftover turkey carcass from Christmas dinner (we hosted this year). I used this recipe. I took the broth out of the fridge today, skimmed off the fat, chopped up the veggies and turkey meat and voila!

It was a delicious lunch and there's more in the fridge!

I've always had the intent to update this blog at least once a week and it's not like I don't have knitting content every week to write about. It's finding time to get on the computer and take pictures of my knitting, etc. that's the difficult part. With a 3-yr-old and a 9 mo. old and working full-time, five days--it's nearly impossible. Why right at this minute I fear I'm neglecting something.

I read this blog called the blue blog. I love reading it, actually. The woman has twin boys and a baby girl on the way AND she's ALWAYS crafting something and her 'somethings' are not just average, they're incredibly good. Amazingly good. WHEN DOES SHE FIND THE TIME?? I'll be so curious to see once her baby arrives if she's blogging as often as she is now. I honestly HOPE so (I love reading her), but I'll be mystified as to how. Am I a bit envious? Definitely.

I've put down the owl vest for about a month now, but here is the finished front (the back may never get done, we'll see):



I'm now back to my sock addiction, I'm working on a pair with Regia in a nice jacquard with purples and blues. This was supposed to be for my sister Christmas '05--she may get these for her birthday in February '07:


The stockings look wonderful hanging with care on the bannister (with hopes that St. Nicholas soon will be here!).

here I am in the same spot a year ago preggers with my daughter:


Hope everyone's holidays are wonderful! Peace and joy to everyone--I hope I am able to update before Christmas, but I can't promise!
