A Room with a View

Another finish, and actually it's my last book for the Winter Classics Challenge!

It was a cute book. I did enjoy it, but it won't rank up there on my list of favorites. The storyline was cute, although, it is a book to show how times have changed. I mean, I can't imagine worrying about if my fiance knew another man kissed me! I suppose, because a few (although not a lot) of boys had kissed me before I met my fiance. What a different set of acceptable and unacceptable behavior if you compare the novel to today.
Depsite the differences in culture and what is appropriate or not, it was an interesting read and an interesting love story to say the least.

And with that, I am done with the Winter Classics Challenge. It was fun while it lasted for sure! I enjoyed being a part of it, and I'm thrilled I actually finished! Of course a big thank you to Booklogged for sponsoring this challenge!

Later this year there is a Non-Fiction Five challenge I think I will participate in. We'll have to see how life is going then ...

Some orange and blue

combined with an embroidery machine and a sewing maching, become a banner that I was proud to hang up in my house today ... reading "GO BEARS #1". Apparently though, it wasn't big enough to make them win and should instead read "GO BEARS #2". :::sigh:::

In some more blue and orange projects, a bib I made babyboy for the game ... it says "I may be little, but I'm a BIG fan." It really did look adorable on him I have to say that. And it is officially the first bib I have ever made. It was actually quite simple if I do say so myself. I think I may have to make him some more cute bibs like that!

UFO Challenge: February

Blanket for the UFO challenge. Not only did I pull it out and begin to work on it today, I finished it! YEAH! Well, really I just had to weave in the yarn. DH will be mailing it out tomorrow as we realized a friend had a babygirl and we never sent a gift. So wa-la! Fabulousness! And it will now be one less thing to move to the new house, and my first completed projected curtesy of the UFO Challenge! =)

A little sampling ...

Here is a little something for you to look at ... a bit of blue fabric in the embroidery machine ....

and let's not forget the orange fabric I used .... a project made and finished Thursday night through early Friday morning. Yes, I stayed up way to late to make it ... but trust me, it looks very nice. You'll see ... tomorrow if you're lucky!

UFO Challenge ...

I joined the UFO challenge.
Right now I'm too tired to show links or pictures. But I did pull out the sweater I made this fall that has been patiently waiting to be seamed and have the band added to it.
I swear I did. I will prove it later.

For now, I want to say I bought a house today. I'm in a lot in debt and really tired! LOL!

Added later:

Here is the pile of the sweater I pulled out. I have now pieced the sleeves to the back and front pieces. I still need to do the side seams and then add the nexk band. Which probably won't happen until I've unpacked more as the matching yarn and needle I need are hiding somewhere in a box. But at least this will be the very first project I finish in the new house. And really, without the motivation of the UFO Challenge, it would probably still be in a pile, laying in the basement, waiting to be moved from this house to the new house to be thrown in a pile there!

Now, the question becomes, what to resurrect for the month of February ....
