Completions and (non-leftist) Progress ;-)

Yes!  Completion of a project can be a rare, yet always beautiful thing around here.  ;-)  I started this a while back and just now got the clothespins painted while hubby and son were away for the weekend.  (I get so much more done when they're gone.)  Anyway - here's one of A's presents.  It should come in handy with so many pictures the grands are drawing. 

I ended up hot gluing the hangars on the back.  In the original one I saw on Pinterest, she'd added some holes and tied ribbon through, then screwed a pretty button to the wall and hanged it that way.  Seemed too fiddly for me - particularly with a more boyish themed whatever this is.  I do need to spray some varnish on it still, but other than that, it's done.  :-)  I feel like Liesl Von Trapp after her kiss from Rolf in the rain: "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"  hahaha 


sleep sack

I made our new granddaughter - haven't posted about that yet - a new pink/orange sleepsack.  It was from Bernat Baby Blanket BIG skein of yarn.  When done- I still had so much left over that I went to Ravelry to get some ideas for stash busting.  This is what I found, started, and finished in less than a day:

Have I mentioned how much I detest Blogger?  (Yes)  There is no way to pick where the pics will go - only with certain parameters that haven't been made clear to me. And now I can't type in here except in the picture's caption box!
ARRRGGGH! 

Oh- ok, now everything's back to normal.  Still hate it.  Ok, I'm out - need to go work on the Sunburst mirror.  I got it sprayed this weekend but it was SO windy out that it looks ridiculous. lol  Must get that evened out.
