As y’all can obviously tell, l like to knit and crochet…a lot.  Right now I’m working on a super cool purple knit/purl butterfly pattern baby afghan.  (Wow…that was a mouthful) It’s for my bestie’s baby shower. (Don’t you tell her about it Matt, or there’ll be trouble.)  The funny thing is she’s already seen it.  Since the shower is so close I have no choice but to work on it in front of her.  I think she might suspect since she’s commented on the niceness of it but hasn’t asked me who it’s for.  Interesting.  I sincerely hope she isn’t thinking to herself…”good lord, that thing’s hideous, I hope it isn’t for me”  Naah…she wouldn’t think that…would she?

You may be wondering why I would post this information on my blog…well believe it or not my own buddy doesn’t read my blog…isn’t that sad? On the other hand…if she does read it occasionally without my knowledge this could have all been a horrible mistake.  Anyway…here are some pictures.

Just a little crafty update…

First, Bat Monkey needs a new head…he had a bit of a run-in with a glue gun…not pretty.

Meanwhile I’m working feverishly on projects for my bestie’s baby shower…3 projects at once…the shower’s in a month…yes I am insane…

That’s it for now…pictures will follow…

So after a week-long vacation it’s back to the salt mines tomorrow…blah.  The knitting marathon I had planned for this week did not turn out as I had planned…and well I don’t have a completed project picture to post…I know…shameful.  However, I do have a picture of the progress so far.  This is a hooded sweater I’m working on for my son’s little friend’s upcoming birthday (by upcoming I mean November, hey gotta start early)  Anyway here it is…check out the Red Sox “B” in relief on the front…classy

PS… stay tuned for pictures of our recent trip to the Ecotarium…
