WIP Wednesday

Hello Stampers!

So, are you wondering what this weeks title refers to? For those of you who are not knitters, WIP stands for "Work in Progress". Since I have decided to share my knitting adventures and projects along with my Stampin' Up! projects as well, I thought I would add a new segment to my blogging. It will be called "WIP Wednesday" and I will be sharing what ever I am working on on Fridays. Also, if I finish a project by Fridays, I may add a new segment called "FO Friday" which is "Finished Object" Friday. So stay tuned for those two NEW segments on my blog. =)

So for today's WIP Wednesday I am sharing the progress that I have made on the burping cloth that I am working on as a gift for a friend. I am enjoying this project very much, and am almost done with it so hopefully I'll have something to share for my first FO Friday! :o)

The pattern for this particular project is found on Ravelry. It is called Plain and Simple Burp Cloth. You can find my Ravelry notes, here.

Here is a close-up of the burping cloth and the pattern. It is very simple actually, and after the beginning edge you just alternate rows by knitting purling. I can't wait to have it completed so I can work on my next project, which will be a lot more challenging, I think. I may also knit some washcloths to go with it but I have not decided yet. More than likely I will, so I can make it as a gift set. ;o)

Well, that's all I have for today. Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my exciting new foray into knitting. =)

Have a great day and Happy Stampin'!!

Stampin' MIA

Hi Stampers!

I am so very sorry for being MIA with my stampin' for the last few months but this past school quarter got really intense during the months of late January and February through early March. I had lots of work for class (lab reports, presentations, research, psychology experiments and a final paper) so that left little to no time for any stampin'. =(

However, I do have a couple of "old" projects to share with you from Valentine's Day and from my upline Yolie's February Stamp Club. So I hope to post those sometime this week.

This week is my Spring Break at school so I have been working on a new hobby of mine, knitting! =) Back in November/December I took up crochet and made a lot of scarves for my friend's for Christmas. Thankfully they all liked them and each one was personalized according to each person's fave color. ;o) So now, I have decided to take up knitting along with the crochet! I haven't had much time to practice or make anything but I am determined. So today I went to a very cute local yarn store in South Pasadena called, Abuelita's Knitting and Needlepoint.

I have to tell you that I was in yarn heaven! The colors and textures and notions, oh my! And the staff was so very sweet and friendly and oh so helpful. I had to touch and feel so many of the beautiful yarns and just couldn't decide what I wanted. But alas, I had to make a choice before I broke the bank. Lol So today, I'll be sharing my goodies from my "little" shopping spree today. ;o)

Two cute bags that I got today! =)

This is the bag that was given to me at Abuelita's. Isn't it just cute! Instead of a plastic bag with my yarn and needles, I got this cute canvas bag. =)

This is the cute tag on the bag. =)

And here are my goodies! ;) I bought four different types of yarns and some double-pointed needles (DPNs). It will be my first time knitting with those so I am nervous yet excited to see the end result.

Group shot of the yummy yarn. You have to touch it, I love it. =)

This first yarn is Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky in Aran.

Then we have this wonderfully soft Debbie Bliss Como colour 19007. It's a blueish-gray.

This soft yarn is Berroco Ultra Alpaca Color 6214. This one is an oatmeal color.

Another Berroco Ultra Alpaca Color 6278. Also a blueish-gray.

And lastly, Sugar' N Cream Twists in Denim. This is not from Abuelita's but from Jo-Ann's. The bag on the very first picture above is also from Jo-Ann's. =)

So are you seeing a pattern in my color choices? ;o) I have a co-worker/friend whose daughter is expecting her first little one and I am determined to knit up some baby surprises for her. The baby is due May 5 so i have a little over a month to work on these knits. I do hope my knitting goes well and that the projects turn out as they are supposed to! I will post pictures of my progress as I get started and of course when they are all done. I am so very excited yet nervous about this little endeavor of mine but I can't wait to start! =)

Have a great night and Happy Stampin', Knitting, Crocheting or any other hand craft you are keen on. ;o)

Happy Stampin'!

Vintage Christmas Stamp Camp

Hi Stampers,
Please join me for a Vintage Christmas Stamp Camp. We will be making 4 standard-sized cards and a custom designed Vintage Christmas box. If you would like to make more cards let me know so that I have enough supplies for you.

Also, as this is a stamp camp I will require payment before the date of the event. The cost will be $25 per person, which will include all the supplies you will need to complete the cards and box. If you'd like to make extra cards, the cost is $35 per person. Your payment will guarantee a spot in the class.

Because I will need to order all the supplies, I will need payment NO LATER THAN FRIDAY, DEC. 3 by 5pm. I'm sorry for the short notice but in order for me to receive the needed supplies on time I need to make sure to order them by Friday.

As always, please be sure to bring your own SNAIL or similar type of adhesive and feel free to invite a friend (s).

Happy Stampin'
