Yarn Along

Well, it's been a while but I am still over here and I've been working on project life in bits and pieces.....more recently I've been taking to knitting! And so I am joining in the Yarn Along over at small things so I can share what is on my needles and also what is in my book basket!!

I am currently working on a the playtime hoodie that I found over on ravelry.....here. I am knitting this one up for Caleb and I am really liking the way it is turning out. I also just found the spud and chloe blog....... I ordered some yarn and will be starting spud the sheep very soon! I would love to get all these cute animals knitted up for Hannah Grace, so she can have them all to play with when she is a little older. It is an adorable book with a cute story in amongst the patterns.

Here is a pic of the sweet Chloe shrug I just finished. Hannah Grace wore this over her Easter dress and it fit perfectly!! This was my first attempt at knitting a sweater and I am really happy with how it turned out! Thanks to Emily (my 17 year old and amazing knitter!) for being there to guide me through it all!!
I will leave you with a little picture of my cutie in her Easter shrug!

Project Life / P 365

I just caught up my Project Life album.......here are my latest P 365 pics! I'm really loving this so I hope I can keep up with it!!!

Project Life / P 365

I've been a bad blogger! I have not updated in forever! So here is the scoop on some of my latest projects.....

For the past 2 years I have begun P 365.......only to fail to keep up with it the whole year. (SIGH!) So this year I looked for a way to make this super simple......with a baby on the way I knew I would not succeed (AGAIN) unless it was super easy to keep up with.....taking the photos is not the problem...oh no.....I take loads of photos every day. It was the documenting and journaling part that always threw me.

So enter Project Life!!! I love it! This makes P 365 easy and sooooo doable! For the past 2 weeks I have kept up with it and I really LOVE the way the album is turning out! I take about an hour or 2 on Monday afternoon and print out my pics.....get any journaling for the past week done and then put it all together......so simple yet so worth it!!!

Here are some pics of my first few weeks!

The pocket pages make it really easy.....I can add memorabilia and I have decided to only journal the stories i want to tell......some pics don't need journaling at all!

I also want to post my P 365 pics here if I can......if it is to much to keep up with I might not....so we will see!



Here are my first 2 weeks of photos.....I am editing in PSE 8 and using actions as well.

You can also see from my pics that I've taken to crocheting! Another reason I have not been on the computer as much......I have made all kinds of things for the baby and winter hats and scarves for the boys as well! Right now I am making Claire a manta ray.......I'll post a pic when it is done! I really think if i can stay organized about this I just might finish it this year!!!!
