Race day rained out

Den and I went to our local race track tonight to watch the sprint races, modified etc. About half way thru it started raining and the race was called due to weather. So since I was home earlier than I thought we'd be I took some pics of the items I have made lately. I think the snowflower doily turned out pretty good, especially after I starched it flat. It was curling really badly while crocheting but once starched and pinned out it looks wonderful. Also got on a dishcloth binge after receiving some in our dish cloth swap on crochetville, but in knit and crochet. Then with all the thread I received from Jaclim I had to make one of my beach Barbies a poncho and beach bag. Now she is really ready for summer.

I finished another doily but now have it starched and waiting to dry. It turned out pretty well but will be a day or two before I can post a picture. Since I just finished starching it decided to check in on some blogs and read up on whats happening with other people. There are sure alot of crafters out there, I am in great company. The doily I completed was the snow flower doily found on freepatterns.com. They have some really nice patterns there from doilies to fashion accessories to home decor. Well thats about it for tonight sorry if I bored anyone.

Finally posting an entry

Okey just got over my slump. Been kinda bummed lately, I'm thinking I need a vacation. I finally got my year in at work and think that it's time I took a couple of days off just for me. Selfish I know but the mental part of me really is wanting some me time. Seems to much to do and not enough time to do it all in especially with my crafting. So I have been doing some knitting and crocheting but haven't been able to wrestle the camera from my daughter till today. Jeez she is such a teenie bopper. Anyways here are some pics of what I have completed lately.
