Today was an amazing day for Lil’ Brownie. After being further pampered last night by going on display at my Mary Kay party (everyone go buy stuff from my friend Liz Zurn! ), and getting a celebrity visit from StH, you’d think that a sock [...] OKAY so I am not usually prone to excesses of ALL CAPS and EXCLAMATION POINTS!

Something I made went from this: (A picture taken with the finished product on my feet, with our lovely carpet as backdrop) To this: (look in the [...] I thought I was being really good to my new sock today.

On Thursday, Sept. 3rd, I made [...] I know I’m a crappy photoless blogger right now, but I have about 36 hours to finish turning a pile of 9″ squares into a finished blanket. It’s for a raffle.
