Christmas

So I've decided I'm going to start working on Christmas gifts for 2010 in January.  I've got quite a few left to finish up before the deadline next week.  Here are two of the projects I've been working on:

1. Basketweave scarf for my SIL Christine




















I've got this one about 3/4's of the way done.  Just need to park myself in my 'knitting' chair (as Mike has nicknamed it) and work on it for a few solid hours and get the thing done!



2. Ms. Poppins purse for my sister Jen
















Really all I have left to do on this is put it together.   I have to sew the inside and stitch the side together and put the handle on.

I've also got a multi strand blanket I'm working on, a couple of other scarves, some hats to finish up, one more to start, and a blanket to quilt.   Thank goodness I have tomorrow off, sunday and next week I'm on holidays!

Wish me luck!

A.

    Thanks Alli :) It's a lot of fun to make. I've got a blanket I'm doing as well for a friend who is due in April.

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes. An early preoccupation with Rock ‘n’ Roll led me to spend my twenties working my way from intern to executive in the music industry. Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard. Sleeping and eating quickly became a luxury, a plan I have since dubbed the Writer’s Diet. I channeled teenage memories of plastering my walls with posters to weave the tale of music journalist, Claire Abby, and the dreamy British rock-star crush of her youth, Christopher Penman. “Bring Me Back” is a work of women’s fiction, published by Turquoise Morning Press. When I’m not creating fictional musicians, I’m listening to everything from old-school Cheap Trick to Duran Duran to Superchunk with my kids, honing my Southern...
