My Other Baby is Going to College!

Woohoo! Elizabeth has also been accepted to USM! Two Golden Eagles come fall 2009!

A Soft BRIGHT Baby Blanket

100% cotton, so perfect for the California weather where it's going. The parents requested bright...I think they got it!

My Baby Is Going to College

Alyssa got her acceptance letter to USM today, so now it's official! Yea! Congratulations! We're so proud!

Warm Fuzzies

If this scarf doesn't give you the warm fuzzies, then you are simply cold hearted! (or a hard hearted Hannah as my mom used to call me). It is made using alpaca boucle, which is a loopy yarn, and fleece chenille. It is wonderfully soft and warm and very cuddly. I loved it from the minute I started working on it.

This scarf is a custom order for Aunt Betty.

Fall Cleaning

I've been doing a little cleaning up and updating of the blog today. I think I was so disappointed with my Aggies that I "forgot" to update the football season scores.

I sold a bunch of scarves (8 I think) recently. That's very exciting. I'm thinking of putting up a "real" web-site for shopping purposes. I'll let you know if I do. It'll be easier to buy that way, though most of the orders will still be custom orders. I can re-do any scarf I've already made, so if you're still thinking about Christmas gifts, look through the blog and see if you see a scarf or some towels or napkins that you'd like, and I'll get them done for you.

Other than that, it's just been watching the girls get ready for college. They've both applied to USM here in town. They were very excited after doing so.

Vignette

I haven't done one of these in a while...

We were sitting around the living room talking last night about the conference that David had just returned home from. The management people were discussing issues involved in hiring Generation Y young people--reliance on the cell phone, instant messaging, text messaging, short attention span, no grounding in reality. [and as an editor's note, please understand that our conversations at home don't always have a clear transition from one person speaking to the next.]

David said, "So, people are really scared of hiring people from Generation Y."

Alyssa asked, "Is Gran's generation Generation X?"

David replied, "No, Generation X is your mom and my generation."

Alyssa said, "Oh, so what is Gran's generation."

David: "The Baby Boomers."

Elizabeth: "Who is Generation A?"

Alyssa's New Purse

It's very similar to the orange and brown one I made about a month ago, only this one is black, white and turquiose. I think it's adorably cute. It has a flap over the top.

A Burgandy and Blue Scarf

Lucious is the best description for this scarf. The burgandy yarn is merino wool and is VERY soft. It's hand-dyed so has a tone-on-tone variegation. The blue yarn is soy silk and is very soft and silky. Together, they create a scarf that is both beautiful to look at and a pleasure to wear next to your skin. The fringe is knotted and left loose to show off the wonderful merino wool.

It measures 5.5x69 and sells for $50.
