Finished the curtains for Garrison's new room. Thanks to Loraine's help for getting me started by doing the blackout curtains (behind). I had crafter's block and couldn't seem to get started. Can't wait to get the rest done, he's going to love it. They didn't turn out quite like I planned since first I measured wrong, then I cut even more wrong, and then I had to salvage the whole situation. Oh, well.

My mom and I had a dye day while she was here. We did more than this, but this is all I remembered to take pictures of. This will be knit into a cabled sleep sack (pattern purchased from cabbages and kings- so CUTE!). And the roving will be handspun by me
and my mom will knit it into a matching cabled hat. My mom does all my knitting since I don't know how. 
I also finished a really pretty skein of handspun yarn in tropical colors but sadly forgot to take pictures. | Click this bar to view the full image. |
And finally, I'm pretty proud of this. A man who grew up in our neighbor hood (whose parents still live here) needs a liver transplant. The whole community was pitching in for a big fund raising effort. So I put this together to put in the silent auction. I have no clue what it went for but I sure enjoyed making it. I got the idea online, as some one else did a go green basket for a library fundraiser. It was a lot of work, but I enjoyed doing it. So here is my take on a go green kitchen basket:
