Projects Still on the Vine

Felted slippers from some garage sale wool my neighbor bought for me, she keeps her eyes open for stash builders, great neighbors are hard to find. I'm using the Cat Bordhi pattern with two circulars. Made a couple pairs of socks out of the book as well, each one came out so well, I was amazed.

Finishing the fingerless gigging gloves for J, he wants little caps over his fingers and thumbs for cold evening shows.

Still have cables and stitching to do on the needle case.

Barbara needs a costume made for the ren faire so I have to duct tape her to a T shirt to make a dress form for the corset. I have been making costumes for others since my teens so this is a snap once I make a dress form.

Miss Penny has a couple of sweaters that are so sweet, two of them are my own design so I haven't quite figured out what the final touches are going to be.

I would also like to make a lightweight shrug from some stash yarn for my sister-in-laws birthday, but with a trip to LA in sight it may not happen. I have ordered her something special that I hope will arrive in time just in case.

Our garden at the community plot needs to be dug up and readied for planting by the first of April. We are going to our favorite nursery this week to get some seedlings, seeds and supplies.

Oh yeah and who could forget this is the week that secret pal starts. I have so many ideas, I am so excited, I can hardly wait for the email to get started. A note to whom-ever gets me, I am easily amused and pleased!
