Friday’s Fundraiser

I did not have the energy to do errands today. So after my eye doctor appointment I came home and made a lot of earrings for the Friday morning fundraiser for Eric’s day program.  I only have 5 more pairs to make for my promised 2 dozen.  Let’s just say I really prefer more than 2 weeks notice for making things for fundraisers.

Also since I can’t  commit to a full day Friday, the fundraiser will end around lunchtime.  All my earrings will be priced at $5.00 and the bracelets at $10.00.  This will be a good time to pick up something for mom and help a good cause.

The fundraiser will be at the Tucson JCC at the corner of Alvernon and Dodge.  That is unless you come in on the back side and use River Road. There is not a hard start time, but around 8:00 am to noon.

Also Eric and his friends made some great greeting cards and other art projects to sell. So please try to stop by and make it a sell out.  Usually the money goes to scholarships and supplies.

As usual 100% of the sale price for my jewelry will go to the day program.  Also if you have any tabs for Eric’s charity project they can be dropped off too.

Feeling Better

After sleeping most of the day, I am happy to report that I am feeling better.  I will still try to keep things on the light side though. So this afternoon I designed 4 pairs of earrings, 1 of which I am keeping.  I plied 3 skeins of art yarn.  To top the night off I started knitting a new hat.  I expected that my creative energy will be all over the place for at least a few days.  I really can’t wait to see what happens.

25 to 36

A dozen new bibs for Eric. He likes them very much.  They don’t have the been washed over 100 times feel.  They are still nice, fluffy and  very soft. The pattern was published in 2010 under key word bib.

Bad at Posting

I have been very bad at posting pictures. I have not posted since project number 24. Since then there have been almost another 24 projects completed. I will try to post some pictures later.

I am still sick, although feeling better. I have knit 2 hats in 2 days. Pictures later.

Wher Did March Go?

I am ending the Month of March sick and resting.  I don’t know where the month has gone. There has been a lot of knitting and spinning. A dozen new bibs for Eric. By the way he loves them all. They have the soft not washed a hundred times feel.

What I have not accomplished is writing the 2 new knitting patterns.  The finished items are folded on the table in need of blocking.  Taking photos of the new patterns.  So my goal for April is to get 2 patterns self published.  Finish knitting 2 more shawl patterns and completing the process. To get that done I will stop writing and go to sleep.

A New Design

The new design with Mary Gavin’s yarn is coming out better than expected.  Only 10 zillion rows to knit, just kidding only about 300 rows to go.  youcan ask for her Measyarn at your local yarn shop or go to MartGavinYarns.com.

No Carpe Deim

Not all days are a Carpe Diem kind of day around here. Some days my standards are very low as long as everyone is alive at the end of the day and the laundry is not above knee level, I will call it a win.

I did get some Spinning done. This is going to be plied as an art yarn.  Pictures will follow when finished.

I did barely manage to get my 8,000 steps today.
