Giveaway



I have a wonderful giveaway planned to celebrate my birthday.  I just wanted to thank all of my internet friends for the lovely comments that you leave on my blog.  I also enjoy visiting your blogs and getting a peak at your busy lives.  Blogging has been so much fun for me.

My sister has graciously given me this zipper pouch that she whipped up in her sewing room.  This pouch is perfect for all of your stitch markers.  To start you out she has also made two stitch markers that coordinate with this pouch.

To be considered for the giveaway, please leave a comment on this post.  I will choose a winner using a random number generator around 8 p.m. next Sunday (11/27).  The winner will be announced on next Monday's post.

    Happy birthday :D

    Your sister is very talented, beautiful purse and markers. I hope I win, because this post has reminded me that all my stitch markers sadly live loose in my notions bag... However, if someone else is lucky enough to win, I now have inspiration for a sewing project to keep my markers nice and tidy!

    So cute! I don't have any stitch markers. I just use pieces of extra yarn. This would be lovely.

    Happy birthday! My littlest guy will be 1 tomorrow. November is a good month for birthdays.

    I just wanted to say that I loved your post at Habit of Being! And the curtain photo in the last post reminds me of winters in my grandmother's house when I was a child. Thank you for awakening my memories!

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh!

So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than...

Knitting News

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
