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 Day in the Life of.. Anne Barton

  Welcome to Stitch Read Cook's weekly feature!! A Day in the Life of..... This is where us bloggers & fans get a glimpse inside the days of our favorite authors!   -------------------- Anne Barton started swiping romances from her mom’s bookshelf as a teenager and decided historicals (with their balls, dukes, and gowns) were the best. So, when she had the chance to spend a semester in London she packed her bags—and promptly fell in love with the city, its history, and its pubs. She dreamed of writing romance, but somehow ended up a software analyst instead. Fortunately, a few years and a few careers later, Anne found her way back to writing the stories she loves and won the Romance Writers of America’s Golden Heart® for Regency Historical Romance. She lives in Maryland with her husband and three children, who try valiantly not to roll their eyes whenever she quotes Jane Austen. Her weaknesses include reality TV, cute-but-impractical shoes, and coffee. Lots and l...
