April Loves...

 

Hello! Happy Sunday to you!

 

 

Whew, what a week. It has been a week of changes and new beginnings, all good things yet they have sort of taken a wee bit of extra energy. So it has been nice to settle down with some tea, a few stitches on all the projects and of course visiting you all. Once I am done babbling about me, you will see that this list of April loves is rather long.

 

Goodies from Mintrain

Good mail days have been in abundance as I have been participating in many sock yarn scrap swaps.

 

Goodies from Kristi

And a fun Spring Swap via Buckaloo View's group on Ravelry.

 

 

gifts from the lovely Juliann

 

Not to mention Tina's very own artwork... I know, right!!

You may notice that I have not mentioned or shown progress pics of any projects from in last week's post. That would be because there is no real progress to show. But I am working on it. :)

Alright now let's go traveling to blogland and there about for some real inspirations.

• When I have had a busy, stressful week like this last one of the first place I go is to Leigh's. There I know I will be met with beautiful words and pictures.
• Since it's been a while since I have traveled, it has been fun to follow along with Ellen's vacation and Kate's.
• Another Leigh has a blog where the words are simple and the images say so much. Love it.
• Little Pink Canary's Stitch Along post has me itching to pull out the needles and thread.
• As I do not have an FO to sing over, Singing of Hope does and it is a beauty.
• I fear visiting Julie because I know that I will end up wanting to eat, make or have everything she posts in her BlissPin Ups.
• Sweet puppy, beautiful children, drool-worthy yarn and knitting projects that bring out the happy in me all at Amanda's.
• Window shopping will not be excluded this month. Being inspired by Pink Canary Knits reminded me of a favorite Etsy shop, Dropcloth.
• Grabby hands and heart have their sights set on Knitted Wit's Fairy Garden and Felicia Cakes.
• If I could I would buy everything in The Little Canoe's shop.

A lot of goodies, I know. :) Leaving you with a sweet song.

 

 

Have the best day today!

XO,

Andi

Whoa...how do you get involved in a Sock Yarn Scrap Swap? That sounds awesome! I have so many, many scraps and a (constantly) in progress Bee Keepers Quilt.

Ah-mazing! Love the progress on your sock blanket, it looks great! I wish my progress was going this fast!!

That is a super cool, Zentangle quail. She has great talent. I hear you on the busy. I have to speak at the general meeting this coming Thursday and then I'm pottery much off the hook with the exception of second district form I have to fill out. Been learning how to paint this weekend. I still have half a room to finish I have much more respect for painters now.

Hi Andi,

Thank you for tagging me in your post. I really appreciate that. I am so new to blogging, but am really enjoying it. I love your sock yarn blanket - its beautiful, I wish I could participate in a swap but I don't own any sock yarn to swap with anyone. Lovely post, enjoy your weekend xx
