So I was going to post about how I am having trouble finding inspiration to sew, though I do have a shirt almost done, just need to hem it and put the buttons and button holes in. My new post is about how excited I am to have 10 followers! I know to some bloggers this may seem a small number, but I love that I have a group of people who enjoy my blog enough to follow it! YAY! You guys just made my day! I promise to work on my shirt after running tonight, and I'll post it as soon as I'm done.
YOU GUYS ROCK!

Item 4! T-shirt Scarf!
Ok, so this almost seems like a cheat because it was so easy, but I love it anyway and I'm counting it! I made a t-shirt scarf. Indiana Adams of Adored Austin started a site called Made This/Love This and the first project was a t-shirt scarf, I love it, it's easy and it looks super cute! Please ignore the unmade bed, that's how we roll most mornings.
Another Finished Item
Woo Hoo! I'm posting item 3 of my 28 things, I know I'm going to need to buckle down if I want to finish, but I had to take the machine in to be serviced (apparently you're supposed to do that WAY more often than I do) and then I was having some back muscle shenanigans, but I'm better now, so the sewing is going to come back in full force. Anyhow, here's my 3rd item, SLIPPERS! I love them, they are so toasty and took me all of 2 hours to knit. They only have 19 rows each! The pattern is the Duffers by Knitting if not Eccentric and I made them out of Lamb's Pride Bulky. I used some puffy paint to make them not so slippery and it works great!

Catching Up
So I realized I never posted pictures of my finished top from this post. I did finish the shirt in time to wear it for New Year's Eve, it's super cute. Here have a look:
I love that this top is so comfy and a great wear for days off work.
So this is item 1 out of the 28, and I do have more to share, but I need to get on it so I don't fall too far behind!

Item 2 of the 28
For my second item in the 28 items for my 28th birthday I made the Glorious Cabled Mitts (ravelry link). They were super fun to knit and I love that they have a left and right, so they fit well with my thumbs. I also love that the palm is ribbed making it form to the shape of my hand better. I love these for the office because if I forget to take them off when a client comes in I don't look like a vagabond who's just been sleeping at the office. I used Blue Moon Fiber Arts Medium Weight Socks That Rock in the Shadow Colorway and I think the subtle color variegation looks great in this pattern.
So this is item 2 of the 28. I'll post as soon as I have pictures of item 1.

Valentine's Day
I have been saving this pic for Valentine's day and I have another, but it's on my camera which is at home so I'll have to load that in later:
This was a the yarn for a scarf/stole that I knitted for a friend of my Mom's. It was in a center pull cake wound on my ball winder and had very very long repeats and it made this awesome heart.
I have to say being at work today doesn't put me in the most valentiney mood. I had plans to make quilted valentines for everyone in the office, but I had a bit of an altercation with one employee in particular on Thursday and it sort of put me off the whole deal. I have a meeting with my bosses today to discuss this altercation and we'll see how that goes, most usually I am made out to be the bad guy in this office regardless of what actually happened. More on this later.
We went to California Adventure yesterday with the munchkin. It was super fun, though we're still trying to get him to overcome his fears of roller-coasters and to stop psyching himself out of doing things. But all in all it was a great day.
The plan for tonight with the hubby is to make a pork roast with the fig preserves that I made last year, some fingerling potatoes, some chard with lemon and maybe some baked apples for dessert. I love anytime I get to spend with my hubby and I don't feel the need to go over the top with Valentine's Day.
That's it for now, I do have some sewing projects that I need to post about, hopefully later this week.
