Tracing patterns for DDIL

Today I traced a couple of patterns to make Sandi some tops. She probably has enough, but I want to contribute to the enterprise. Her parents live close by so I won't be called upon much, but still, it is fun to do something? Joe and Sandi find out the gender soon. I can hardly wait. As soon as I know, I will start the blanket for the bassinet. I can't believe it has been more than 4 years since I did this for KK.

Credit Card Interest Rate.....Yikes!!

I could hardly believe my eyes today when I read a notice from my CC company/bank that they were raising my interest rate 10 points!!!???! What's up with that? I keep my balance low, make big payments on time and have never gone over my limit or not paid on time. Guess we credit card holders are going to pay for the banks' losses, huh?

Big Hit with Lunch Buddy

My Lunch Buddy loved her knitting needle roll. She had hinted around a few weeks ago and I told her to have patience....Valentine's Day was coming up and there was always her birthday in August....She was surprised and VERY pleased. Such a darling girl.

No Room for Spunky to Snooze

I am out of room in this tiny apt. There isn't even any room for Spunky to snooze in his favorite chair.

Lunch Buddy Valentine

I have been a Lunch Buddy at the local elementary school for the last 5 years. For 3 years I had a wonderful boy named Tim, who has gone on to Middle School. Last year they assigned me a little girl who is adorable. AND, best of all, she likes needle work. I am teaching her to knit this year and she is making her Mom and Grandmother dishcloths for Mother's Day. So, I made this needle wrap for her Valentine this year. She only has a few sets of needles but we are adding as we go.

Tomorrow I will work on my vintage pattern again. It isn't that much fun, really....rather tedious. Now, in my basket, I also have window treatments for DD, maternity tops I want to try for DDIL. Also, I have several muslins to make for KK as I think ahead. She will be 4 in April. Also, must knit the blanket for the bassinet and make a new liner. It may need a new coat of paint?
