We had a great holiday here at chez-Schiding. I was actually able to complete my Christmas knitting in time. Mental note....<span style="font-style: italic;">really,</span> start earlier ....It may be the same date every year but Christmas always seems to sneak up on you!<br /><br />Here's the Monkey I made for my Niece Abbie. She's been named "Travel Monkey" and has already made the round trip to Texas. The socks are for my two older nieces Kay and Ellie. I was tickled to hear that they have already worn them!<br /><br />I've already knitted a few after Christmas things, and my new project is to work on my craft room!! Gotta find more room for my stash!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jwx4yl7lZm8/R3vGBFzWPQI/AAAAAAAAABM/qyUEV-3eRBQ/s1600-h/Christmas+2007+004.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Jwx4yl7lZm8/R3vGBFzWPQI/AAAAAAAAABM/qyUEV-3eRBQ/s320/Christmas+2007+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5150928320868007170" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />And finally, Molly sums up the feeling of the day: Had a great Holiday, Loved seeing everyone, Need a Nap!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Jwx4yl7lZm8/R3vE_VzWPPI/AAAAAAAAABE/srEEoLFTg1U/s1600-h/Christmas+2007+004.jpg"><br /></a>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14614227688044009904noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28035394.post-22952788109644947412007-09-26T06:44:00.000-07:002008-11-12T18:48:03.340-08:00So much to do, So Little Time.....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jwx4yl7lZm8/RvpmeMDm9PI/AAAAAAAAAAM/oKXUnqzDHxs/s1600-h/Camping+Sept.+07+011.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Jwx4yl7lZm8/RvpmeMDm9PI/AAAAAAAAAAM/oKXUnqzDHxs/s320/Camping+Sept.+07+011.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5114512995651089650" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:webdings;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">When I first started knitting a few years ago, I couldn't understand the concept of having more than one project in progress at a time. Well, I have certainly embraced that idea! I am totally feeling my ADD with 4 projects in the works. I finished the felted bag for the Stewartstown Music and Arts Festival (www.stewartstownfestival.com) silent auction, and made a pair of really cute Mary Janes for a sweet baby girl born to one of my preschool parents. The need to throw myself into Christmas gifts is creeping up. I know it will be here before I'm ready! We went camping last weekend, and the knitting came with me. There is something really cool about knitting around the campfire. </span><br /></span>Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14614227688044009904noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28035394.post-79466498996613783652007-08-06T07:15:00.000-07:002007-08-06T07:23:56.165-07:00A Year Later????Hello all,<br /><br />I finally got back to posting. What a year it's been! Time flies when you are having fun. I have been happily been knitting away on various projects, I've even kept a few. I have also made two new fabulous knitting friends. We get together every other Tuesday to knit, talk and have much needed Mommy time! Currently I am working on a felted tote bag for a silent auction to benefit a friend's niece and nephew. Their father passed away earlier this year, and the family is having a festival to benefit the kids. They are hoping to make it a yearly event. Here is a link: musicfestival@hotmail.com It will be in Stewartstown, PA on Sept. 29th and should be fun. Lots of music, food, and crafts.<br /><br />Happy Knitting!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14614227688044009904noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28035394.post-1150766319193814682006-06-19T18:05:00.000-07:002006-06-19T18:32:37.923-07:00Yep, I'm Still Out Here<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3813/2961/1600/June06%20010.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3813/2961/320/June06%20010.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I really didn't fall of the face of the earth....<br /><br />It has been so crazy here lately between school finishing up, vacation #1, water main break in the basement and ensueing marathon laundry session, and various other strange goings-on.<br /><br />I have finally finished my shawl.<br />Go figure,wool shawl...90+ degree day, sounds about right.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3813/2961/1600/June06%20013.0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/3813/2961/320/June06%20013.0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />I even made a few baby things for my cousin Wendy who is expecting her first baby in January.

I'm just learning this blog thing so please bear with me.....<br /><br />I have been knitting like a mad woman lately. Carpal tunnel be damned!!!!<br /><br />Right now I am working on the Nina shawl from Mason Dixon Knitting. I absolutely love the book. That's Molly sleeping on my shawl. You know your loved when you're allowed to sleep on a work in progress! <br /><br />I have so many projects waiting in the wings. As a knitter of only a year and a half, I am taking the fact that I can now rationalize having many projects going at the same time as a good thing. You know, an blanket for working at home, the shawl for visiting friends, and the occasional socks or washcloth for errands.<br /><br />Actually, I was strangley happy the other day when I noticed that my lovely stash had out grown it's cupboard and needed to be relocated to a larger piece of furniture. I think it's quite an achievement, but hubby developed a twitch when he noticed I had moved it.<br /><br />Happy Knitting!Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14614227688044009904noreply@blogger.com2
