What? I’m keeping […]

*okay…I started a group on flickr…you can find it HERE. Blog button is at the bottom of the post!* UFOs. You know. You know what I mean. They’re there. Floating above you and telling you “work on me. work on me.” Yep…they can be slightly creepy…a little out of date…a blast from your past. There
Take that swoon pattern. I told you that I would whip you into submission. I will not be conquered by the insanity that is the swoon. Uhm…yeah. That may or may not be the pep talk that I gave myself before tackling the swoon pattern again. You might recall that a week or so ago

Is it lame to still be working on Christmas projects? I’m trying to finish up the projects that I started with the hope of making them for Christmas this year. In particular, I’m working on my Reindeer Embroidery. (Original post and pattern info here: http://angelapingel.com/2011/10/cosmo-floss-and-amh-needleworks.html) I knew that the embroidery would take a while, but I

Am I too late? It’s already 2012! But we’ve been running around like crazy and I haven’t had a chance to sit down at my computer. (traveling 2 hours for a one night to do with friends with a two year old = definite LACK of sleep) But once I hopped online I realized that
