I wanted to post to my blog every two weeks but I have already failed. :) It's been a busy couple of months but really no excuse for not posting here. All I can do is try to do better.
I've been busy knitting on my sock. Yes it is still a sock not a pair quite yet. Here's a photo of the progress.
I'm doing a diagonal type thing for the cuff. I still have a ways to go on it but eventually it will be completed.
I've been busy doing some sewing. My niece's birthday is coming soon and my sister wants her to have a pettiskirt. So I've been busy working on it. The first one I made was for my eldest daughter. I wanted to make sure I didn't have any problems with it. This is what it looks like.
I'll be making two or three more of these (maybe more). I've got a silver, turquoise, purple and pink ones ready to be made. I just have to do the tedious task of cutting all the tulle and satin. OH FUN! :)
Today, I spent the day making 60 something cupcakes for the Father/Daughter Dance that hubby and Frey went to tonight. They have another dance they will be attending on Sunday as well. I was in too big of a rush trying to get all their stuff together to take to the dance that I forgot to take their photo. Hopefully some pictures of cupcakes will do.
Miss V checking out the cupcakes. They were moved just in time.
Ahhh, I love cupcakes. I'm glad I don't have any left at the house.
Last but not least, I would love to recommend the purchase of a Magic Bullet. It is a blender type contraption. It works great! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooo much better than any blender I have ever owned. I bought it last night to grind my coffee beans. But I've made margaritas two nights in a row. Last night I made regular margaritas. Tonight I made strawberry margaritas (fresh strawberries of course). They were delicious. This morning after I ground my coffee beans. I made my cup of coffee. Then frothed milk in the Magic Bullet. I put the milk in the microwave for 45 seconds. I poured the milk in the coffee with some french vanilla and sugar. OMG! It was the best Latte that I've made in my home. Anyway, the user's manual had a ton of other crazy recipes like muffin batters, drinks, etc. So I'll be busy experimenting with it. Come on over and I'll make you a delicious beverage either alcoholic or non-alcoholic. ;)
After I do some quick swatching, I'll be off to bed to prepare myself for Hat Attack! Wish me luck. I think I'm toast.

The sock looks great, will you bring me a cupcake???? yum!! I need a magic bullet for making baby food next year, the contraption I had broke (actually I think mom still has one of those contraptions... I should get hers, she never cooks). mmmm I forget what else I was going to say. OH Hat attack. Yeah. I decided not to join,and good thing too cause I've got a LO with an Ear Infection & tommorow is going to be all about visiting the dr and keeping him comfortable.
Hooray for first socks! Those cupcakes look perfect too. Yum.
The Cupcakes were great! :) Don't worry about missing posts, just keep at it. I planned to podcast one a week and haven't been able to do that. It happens, just do what you can.
I can't believe these are your first socks. They look great.
Who has time to knit when you are making 60+ cupcakes.
