See?!?!

I actually DID make something! I've just been too lazy to post about it. Here is my finished Coffee Cup Cloth and I must say I am uber proud. I had to find something to do in order to keep me busy, but also distracted from some of this wedding stuff. It's 18 days away. That clock is just a'ticking away and I sometimes need a little bit of a break so I can relax. I gave this cloth to a friend of mine from town here who also loves coffee as much as I do. She'd mentioned to me before that she'd received a knitted dishcloth as a wedding gift about 5 years ago, and she still had it because it was the only one she had, and didn't know how to make them herself. So as my inspiration to pick the needles back up, I made it for her, and even better, she was inspired after getting it to learn how to knit herself! So that was wicked cool.

I've also made a butterfly one (go figure), and in honor of my lovely husband-to-be I am starting on a "Big Rig" one as well. He claims to want to actually put it IN his truck. I don't know if he really will... but at least he is humoring me, right?!

SO Ashamed...

Of myself. I have not posted in over a month. Both my friend Sherry and my Mom have put such great words about me on their blogs, and I've gotten alot of comments, and here I am, slacking off.

The wedding is in 3 weeks. THREE WEEEEEEEEEKS!

I've done so much more, and not had time to post pictures or anything. Everything is now officially at my Mom's house, waiting for the big day, so I am picture-less for now, but I think I'm going to get my Mom to take some for me so I can keep showing off all the work. It's been so much work but all the while very worth it.

I actually knit some washcloths when I had some downtime. I gave one to a friend and kept one for myself. I have tons more and need/want to post pictures on here of them, and where I got the awesome patterns.

Anyway I keep reading everyone's just don't have time to say much on here, and don't know how available I will be until after the wedding. I have so much I want to do after the wedding as well that I know I will keep this going. I guess I just got to take a break right now til everything calms down. Hopefully you'll keep coming back even though I've been so slack lately.
