Here are a few items I love to knit on size 0000 knitting needles, small pair of earrings, pin and Amulet Necklace.

Yesterday was a great day for me, Heather from our spindlers@yahoogroups.com met with me for a couple hours and showed me how to spin with a Spindle, I had so much fun and she is such a doll to do this for me, she even gave me some of her fiber to try out. When I came home I ordered the "Purple Heart Mide" from Sheila at http://www.journeywheel.com I can't wait to get it next week some time.

Then I come home and check my mail and here I get the yarn I ordered from Astrid at http://www.astridsdutchobsessions.com/scripts/default.asp

I sure received it fast it only took 16 days even with the Holidays going on. Here is a picture of the yarn I ordered.

At least I can't say,"I have nothing to do".

I just finished these socks but I'm still working on making the socks tighter on my feet.

I love knitting them and hope to do many more.

I used Trekking yarn for this pair and did not get the chance to really line up the colors but hope to do a better job next time.

Here is some of my bead work, I really need to start beading again, I use to sell things in Canada at a Gallery but now they are down at the Oregon Coast.
Most of my stuff is sold but some I still have and I know I need to learn more about this blog thing and loading stuff.

Well my baby was mad at me this morning, he had to get his face and ears washed, but he was so good about it and just like any baby after a nice warm bath he went out like a light and is now taking his nap.

I really need to get back to my beading but I'm going to do some beading with my knitting so that will be fun.
Here are a few pieces that were fun to make and also meant a lot to me while making them and after making them.
For my youngest sister Jayne before she passed away a nice necklace made out of a wonderful crystal that I beaded around. Rose pins I made for my mother in law and the beautiful ELVIS
necklace I made for our daughter.
The Strap of the Elvis Amulet Bag has around 5 of his songs written, it was fun to make but I'm not sure if I'd do any more.

Sam is a Yorkshire Terrier.
Here is our new baby he is the love of my life each day he does the cutest things and makes me laugh all day. He loves his daddy because daddy keeps him warm, he loves playing with his big brother Max and big sister Brandy.
He always trys to type a letter to e-mail off. Our little 2 pound wonder Sammy.......

My second knitted socks.

Was I ever surprised this morning when I opened my e-mail, the socks that I knitted were featured for this month on this web site http://www.ptyarn.com/ so I was very happy about it. Now if I can figure out how to post a picture of them here I will.
