Labor filled Labor Day

Ok. Perhaps not so labored, since I am not at work. However, I did tie up a few loose ends. (slap your knee and lmao). I finished my second sock and then I worked on the too big mudflap tank. I am moments away from the tank being done but am having an issue with the whole crab stitch.

Meanwhile. I am watching too much weather on the news. Waiting or finding out rather, that the hurricane is almost out of the NOLA area. My mom is in Baton Rouge and my brother is in Hammond. And my friend got out as well. So hopefully things will pass quickly.

Michael and I took some time too look at houses this weekend. We are teeter-tottering on buying a home and which one. We found a 1000 square foot pool home, 2 bedrooms and a bath that has only a shower. Everything is top of the line and done in my taste. However. There is no room for expansion and the closets are small. Our other choice is a fixer upper. It has a pool and is about 1200 or more square feet. It's marketed as a 4/2 but it's really a 3/2 with an enclosed garage.

Well that's all for now. A little bit more than my crafting but it's all affecting my progress on my little things.

First Post... Time for Catch up

So it's time for my own crafting and a personal release blog. I think that I spend a whole lot of time on creating my sewing, cooking, knitting and hopefully crochet crafting projects and little time highlighting the finish products. I hope that one day I can create my own knitting patterns for others and possibly some tutorials. Lately, I've been trying to use my crafting as bit of therapy. Which I am sure that a lot of people use it for. With a wedding and both my mom and brother being ill, I've needed an escape.

Lately, I have been consumed in making the Mud Flap Tank Top from the Stitch and Bitch book. It has actually taken over my sock time (now on sock two of Monkey from Knitty) . This is my first adult project that is wearable. It's also for me so I hope that it turns out really well.

Meanwhile. My soon to be hubby and I went to a farm to purchase peacock feathers. I hope to use these feathers in my up coming wedding. We are having a Moroccan themed wedding with lots of colors and hopefully a lot of decor with little buck bang. We'll see how it works out.

So that's my craft blog number one for now. I hope to do more later... Nah.. I WILL do more later.
