weeee...it's the weekend! well, kind of a weekend for us.  the hubs will be around on sunday so i can whoop it up at my modern sewing group!  i love these crafty weekends.  the last weekend of every month is like a mini xmas for me.  knit night on saturday and then modern sewing group on sunday for 4 hours! it's like a dream.  i have to pinch myself sometimes :)

i'm pretty burnt out this week.  feeling a tad overwhelmed by my home to tell you the truth.  i'm still purging and rearranging and trying to streamline everything to make it as easy as possible to stay on top of the chores.  i feel like i'm losing the battle still but i'm getting my fight on..haha.  i've decided not to let the laundry monster win.  we are going to be in this place for a long time yet and i've got to make the most of the space we have...it's not a lot but if i'm creative i think we can make it work.  the hard part is it takes time to do all this organization and let me tell you...time is one thing i already don't have enough of and family time and sewing/knitting always come before chores in my book..haha.  that may be a fault, but hey...life is a lot more fun than cleaning :)

i keep trying to get pictures of some of the most gorgeous yarn i have ever had in my life but the pics just don't do it justice.  honestly.  the color is to die for!  it's the richest, brightest, loveliest turquoise you have ever seen!  the yarn is by sweet georgia (a vancouver artisan yarn company) and it's tough sock love in colorway saltwater.  felicia's yarns are to die for & the colors...scrumptious!!!  i'm using my skein for part of the " rae knit along" by jane richmond.  one of my current fave patterns...it's so addicting i tell ya.  yep, i'm nuts and doing a knit along and organizing my own in the same month..haha.  i'm gonna be getting my knit on and then happily rockin' my turquoise rae around town :)

i'm also busy working on a few more tutorials for you as well as a few patterns i may be releasing this year! exciting!!!  in between that i have some sketching to do, catching up with an old friend, hanging with my knitting & sewing ladies, snuggling the hubs (when he's home), hanging with my wee ones and hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, gettting a bit of rest....cause lord i could use it :)

wishing you all a wonderful, crafty, fall weather filled, warm pumpkin spice latte, cozy snuggles, family filled weekend!  what are you up to?  i can't wait to hear your weekend wishes...comment ladies...it makes my day to hear what you've been up to :)
