i've been enjoying every minute of this spring, which has seemed long and lingering. i never like to rush this greening growing season. too often there are a couple of lovely weeks and then, bam! 90 degrees! not my favorite! i'll take this cool weather a bit longer any time! </div>

this past friday brian and i both took the day off from work and went to brimfield, mass. to the BIG <a href="http://www.brimfieldshow.com/" target="_blank">antiques fair.</a> it was really fun despite the drizzly weather. i didn't get many photos in the rain, but i HAD to get one of this adorable little camper with its crocheted tire cover! how cute is that!?!?! if i had a spare tire on my camper i would certainly be working on a crocheted cover as we speak!<br />
<br />
we didn't get many things, but i found these aqua pillowcases that are about the best pillowcases i've ever seen! i loooove them!<br />

<br />
for this month of may i have been joining kate over at her beautiful blog <a href="http://foxslane.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">foxs lane</a> with her crochet and meditation project. her thought was to crochet one motif a day while taking time for yourself and meditating on something you feel grateful for, and then posting each one on instagram at #motifdaymay for everyone to see. such a fun and inspiring endeavor!! <br />
<br />
instead of making single motifs which i couldn't think of a use for, i decided to make mine very small and use them to cover beach stones. i've seen these on line and always loved them, so figuring the whole thing out has been very exciting! i also made a few pieces for garlands to give my hands a break from that tiny crochet. i've really enjoyed photographing each one almost as much as making them. here are a few shots.<br />

my favorite flower in the garden (and i use that term loosely...tangled patch of plants is more like it at this point!) is blooming now. blood root is such a lovely little plant, and it's so nice that it blooms very early in the spring. every night the flower closes back up, and the leaf wraps around it for protection, such a charming habit!<br />

<br />
after seeing <a href="http://dottieangel.blogspot.com/2011/06/bit-of-lo-and-beholdness-continued.html" target="_blank">this</a>, i really wanted to give this pattern a try!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBQ66DYvkPakuTXx3W5xcgv_pZ6DfiSx7aHDesKEKsGwGyVsw6DpJFD9nk8KuRcAgPWW-y14VLGKs7tbt6cO1RA3xWewhnHKcNZS_5-VodmK03dgnQXEGw4Ny-WmQ1ifc05kPZIXTJybyv/s1600/P1040992-001.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBQ66DYvkPakuTXx3W5xcgv_pZ6DfiSx7aHDesKEKsGwGyVsw6DpJFD9nk8KuRcAgPWW-y14VLGKs7tbt6cO1RA3xWewhnHKcNZS_5-VodmK03dgnQXEGw4Ny-WmQ1ifc05kPZIXTJybyv/s1600/P1040992-001.JPG" height="426" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
i crocheted the top to fit a 16" pillow form. i had to rip rows out a few times trying to make the circle lie flat, but i finally got it right! i decided that i didn't want to crochet the back, so i cut a fabric circle 19" in diameter. i wanted to hem the edge of the circle to make a 1/2" hem, so i folded the edges in 1/2" and then another 1/2". i was then left with an extra inch to accommodate the curve of the pillow form(does this make <i>any</i> sense???) <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
then i did a blanket stitch around the perimeter of the circle at 1/2" intervals. this way i had something to crochet into to attach the front and back together.<br />
<br />

i used this pretty peach fabric for the binding. i sometimes like to do a scrappy binding, but this quilt is so ULTRA scrappy already that i thought one color would be best!<br />

i did patch together a few of my favorite fabrics for the backing. the cotton batting that i used was a b*#ch to quilt through, but i do like how it looks after being washed and dried, all soft and puckery. my initial feeling after finishing this quilt was that it is just TOO much, but now after seeing it for a few days, it's growing on me.<br />
<br />
i wanted to post this today so that i can link up with <a href="http://www.crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">amanda jean.</a> if you haven't read her blog and you love quilts, get right over there!!<br />

<span id="goog_466222433">first of all, my camper is in another magazine! a couple of years ago a crew came and photographed our house and the camper for magazines that focused on "flea market style". i didn't know that they'd used the photos again for this magazine. thanks for the heads up cheryl and celeste!</span><br />

<span id="goog_466222433">and.......TA DA!! i finished my sweater! i have to say it is a bit on the "roomy" side...when i first tried it on my heart sank as it didn't fit as i had imagined. so that whole night i kept waking up thinking "i'll just rip it all out and start over". yuck! but the next morning i tried it on again and decided it's not so bad after all. it's so soft and comfortable, and i just love the color! i should've gone down a size i think, but it is definitely wearable. i enlisted brian for the "photo shoot" in our ever-so-lovely spring backyard, grey snow and mud. but that will soon be gone! </span><br />

i am BLOCKING!!! blocking! yes!!! so close to being done, and i've tried it on, and i think it's going to fit! yay!!! BUT, after the blocking process comes a dreadful and hideous step called "picking up 397 stitches" around the whole front and hood. holy cow that is going to suck! but, then i'll do the ribbing and be done! i'm racing against mother nature here. must be done before the nice weather arrives, so hopefully i'll have it done this week when the polar vortex makes it's return. tick, tick, tick!</div>

back to work on my quilt. for some reason this has been the hardest quilt to stitch. it must be the cotton batting. i can't remember the brand which is unfortunate because i never want to buy it again!! SO hard to quilt through! instead of being able to do a few stitches in one pass, it's one stitch at a time, and very difficult......but the good news is i'm almost finished. plugging along!</div>

this weekend i made a trip home to visit my parents as my mother was going to be in the hospital for a few days(nothing serious thankfully!), and to spend some time with my father.<br />
<br />
whenever i go home i must make a visit to <a href="http://www.2littlehooligans.com/2012/09/07/fabric-shops-in-new-hampshire-franks-bargain-center/" target="_blank">frank's bargain center. </a><br />

this place is incredible! it's huge and filled with anything you can imagine craft and sewing-wise. when you walk in, there is a bin on the counter full of scraps of fabric, and i can usually find some vintage goodies in there, like the ones i've shown above. frank has a bit of actual vintage fabric and also newer fabrics at discount prices. there are shelves and shelves of old craft books and supplies for crafts i've never even heard of!<br />
<br />
yesterday i found a bag full of vintage pieces for a quilt that was never made. all of the little pieces are fussy cut to perfectly display the patterns on the fabrics. too bad whoever did all of this work didn't get to see the finished quilt... there were several bags and i got the smallest which had probably 75 pieces. i was very tempted to get them all, but the thought of all the handsewing that would be required to finish this quilt was just too much. i may work on these, but most likely i'll just admire them...so pretty!<br />

i have spent every spare moment working on my sweater. i want to finish it before it gets too warm to wear it, but with the temps as they were this morning (10 degrees!) i probably won't have to worry :)Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05228163180815611710noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8941219177050049548.post-89739400699958176422014-03-10T14:55:00.000-07:002014-03-10T14:58:42.295-07:00instagram LOVE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

so i have spent every day after work this week feverishly knitting away on my sweater, going great guns, lots of progress! i had my first sleeve 90% finished when i stopped and gave it a good look and saw the LADDERS! i kind of knew this was happening but thought it would be o.k...however, deep down i realized this flaw would plague me forever... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
do you have the problem of ladders when knitting with double pointed needles? my photos are not the best, but can you see in the first picture what looks like 2 creases running the length of the sleeve? these are where i am changing from one needle to the next and there is a loose stitch every time i move to the next needle. there were three of these ladders along the sleeve at each intersection of the needles. the second picture shows this a bit better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
i got on the world wide web and found <a href="http://techknitting.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-to-avoid-ladders-on-dpns-double.html" target="_blank">this helpful link</a>. i ripped out my sleeve down to the cuff and started again using tip #2, "forward switching". and it worked!!!!!</div>

six episodes of "house of cards" later, look! a nice smooth sleeve! yay!!!!! i have always pulled the yarn tightly when going to the next needle but still made the ladders. maybe i'm pulling too tightly, i don't know, but ladders have always been a big frustration, so i am glad to have finally found a solution!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
i hope this link will help you if you have this issue! now to start a new sleeve and a new series. something more cheerful this time!!!</div>

my new cupboard is ready for its' moment to shine! i have given it a good scrubbing and filled it up with fabrics and some of my favorite decorating and craft books. it really is the perfect cupboard. three shelves up top, two small drawers, one larger drawer and two doors on the bottom hide two more big shelves. seems like a lot of room, doesn't it, but i think i'll be filling it to capacity in no time! it does fit just perfectly there under the eave. i love it!<br />
<br />
i have been making some good progress on my sweater(however, i could be making <i>ill-fitting</i> progress ...time will tell!) i've been kind of happy that we are back to a cold snap so rosco doesn't want an afternoon walk and i can come home and sit and knit. i have been obsessively watching "house of cards", AND the final episodes of "breaking bad" have just come out on netflix, so i have plenty to watch whilst i knit! i love really getting into a series. do you have any that you like for me to start when i'm done with these??? <br />

i walked into the yarn shop the other day, and my friend who works there was wearing <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/belfast-hoodie" target="_blank">this sweater</a> which looked great, so i said "i'm going to knit that!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
i came home and downloaded the pattern on ravelry and i have started it! i have not knit myself a sweater in over twenty years. the last time i knit myself a sweater i said never again!!! i'm always of the opinion that too big is better than too small, so i make these huge floppy sweaters that i don't like, or when it's done i just don't like it for any number of other reasons........so since then i have stuck to hats, mittens, socks and kids' things. pretty safe. but i measured a sweater that i like the fit of and <i>hopefully</i> i will have better luck this time! i also think that since this is a cardigan i may have a bit more leeway with the fit. we'll see!!!!! oh, the yarn i'm using is cascade 220, a good, basic, fairly soft wool.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
i also spent some time yesterday rearranging my sewing room. after these photos were taken i went out to an antique store and finally found a nice cupboard which i will be sure to show you once i get some pictures! every weekend i've been going to shops looking for a cupboard, so i'm glad to finally have found one. and, now there's a bit of SUN, so i can take photos! we've had the craziest weather lately. TONS of gorgeous snow, followed very quickly by tons of not-so-gorgeous rain......yuck! and this weekend it's been warm enough to go out in just a sweater, this after such a loooong stretch of single digit temperatures. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

i hope you're all enjoying your weekend. happy sunday!</div>

we are getting positively <i>hammered</i> this winter with snow! as i write this it is coming down quite heavily, and i'm glad to be inside on the couch watching from the window. tomorrow morning there will be some shoveling to do though...the other day we got a bit of freezing rain which coated all of the tree branches and as the sun set, it illuminated the tips of those little branches like they were on fire! it was just gorgeous! my pictures really don't do it justice. <br />
<br />
brian and i were both out sick yesterday with a cold/flu...yuck! i'm much better today but brian's still down. i spent most of the day in bed, which i think is why i got over it so fast. sleep, sleep, sleep!<br />

rosco has been playing the "senile" card lately with a few "accidents" in the house. his preferred place to pee is here:<br />

yes, on my rug......aaarrrrrggghhhhh!! at least i can attest to the fact that you can wash these rugs over and over and over and they do fine...my guess is that he knows full well what he is doing and just doesn't want to go out in the snow that is almost over his little head now. good thing i love that dog!!<br />

this is <i>huge!!!</i> i have discovered (with brian's help :) ) how to put my ipad photos onto my computer, so now i can share them here!!<br />
<br />
i have been sort of obsessed with instagram lately. yes, <i>obsessed</i>, so i am going to have a new blog feature from time to time called "instagram LOVE" where i will post a few photos. i like taking pictures but don't always have a story to go along with them, so this will be just pictures, just because.<br />
<br />

yesterday was the most beautiful day so i went snowshoeing out at the <a href="http://www.southberwickmaine.org/public_documents/southberwickme_about/hamilton" target="_blank">hamilton house</a>.<br />
<br />
it was so quiet and peaceful, and i spent a long time standing in the warm sun at the edge of the river listening to the ice cracking. for some reason the sound is particularly good there, some very dramatic splashes of ice into the water! <br />
<br />
i also went to several antique shops looking for a cabinet for my sewing room, but no luck. my hand-quilting is going well, but yesterday i broke two needles! geez!<br />
<br />

what with my new sewing room(!!!!!), i have been sewing every night and finished all of the blocks for my x and + quilt on thursday. yay! so, yesterday morning i got up bright and early and laid out the squares. i'm glad i had the foresight to ask brian to help me move the little couch on friday night so i'd be ready to go. there's no room to lay out a big quilt in this house without moving furniture :)<br />
<br />
six hours later everything was together! lighting conditions were not good for photographs, but i took them anyway. there is another third of the quilt folded over the clothes line. it's pretty big! once again, i'm not sure how i feel about this quilt-it's such a hodgepodge of fabrics, but i do love scrappy quilts. it will grow on me!<br />
<br />
someone does seem to like it already, right violet?<br />

i found this amazing quilt at an antique shop this weekend. everything in the shop was on sale, so this started at $16.00(!!!), and i got it for $9.00 on sale. wow!<br />
<br />
it is all hand sewn and in perfect condition. no rips, stains or smells, and measures about 45" x 60". the fabrics are so beautiful. i want to finish it and am trying to think of how to quilt it...<br />
<br />
i wonder who made this and why it was never finished?? what is the story this quilt has to tell?? now that it's in my hands i guess i will finish the story. i hope i do it justice!<br />
