a few things I have been working on this year...

I made these for Ann-Marie, i had already given her a matching hat and scarf.

I saw someone in church wearing a fun headband like this and started looking for a similar pattern. this is just one I found. I have two more to make.

I got some yarn from Joan and made two sweaters for the boys. there were a bit small, even though I made larger sizes and followed the pattern.

Now my job is to make the sweaters bigger. yikes! i've never done that before.

This is a variety of egg cozies and dish cloths that I made one week in February.

I'm also working on a couple other "top secret" projects. Details and pictures to follow...

mittens

A few years ago I made a scarf for Ann-Marie.

A couple years after that I made a hat to match.

So this year I adventured into mittens. i knit fingerless mittens but this was my first try with full-coverage mittens. I used two different patterns. Not bad for my first try.

knitting

Here's what I knitted for the boys from Christmas. A few "sock" poppets and a couple viking hats.

Saturday

A few of my favorite pictures from my favorite day, (well almost, I think the day Steve proposed is my favorite day).

Friday

Friday, November 12 was the rehearsal dinner. Anna, Krista, Ann-Marie, and I started the day with manicures and lunch with Amy and Jack.

We stopped at Costco to pick-up dessert for dinner and flowers. We headed to church to build our own bouquets for the wedding.

The day of course ended with rehearsing for Saturday.

Just a couple of pictures while I catch up on everything.

Married...

whee! I've been married for more than one week now and it can definitely only get better. I was sick Monday and Tuesday. Steve got sick Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I got sick Saturday, however Steve was better. Sunday was a different story... I was better, Steve was worse. Today we are both just trying to get through the day.

8 days.

8 days. 8 days. 8 days. WOW!

I can't believe it. It's coming so fast. I have a seating chart. It's not perfect but I think I have a seat for everyone. I need to print it out and compare it to my list. A little hard to do on my small computer screen. I just have a few details to finish for the reception. A few things for the kids coming. I need to print out the program for the ceremony. It's pretty much done just need to get to a printer. (If anyone wants to give me a new computer and printer, I would gladly take them.) Lastly I want to write a couple of lists to make sure that everything gets packed. I won't be home Friday or Saturday night. We are putting a last couple touches on our "get-away" plan. :)
whee! I can't wait.
I am on weather watch. Not that is makes that much of a difference but it would be nice to have a few outside pictures that day. It will be dark after the ceremony but that's ok.
According to weather.com, right now it will be - 51 degrees with a 30% chance for showers. That's not what I ordered but chances are it will change.
