On the Needles and More

The past ten days have been pretty busy here, mostly due to a choir concert  which involved several rehearsals before the final performance on the 18th.  If you click on the choir link on the sidebar, you can listen to some of the selections from the Brahms Requiem and Vaughn Williams' Five Mystical Songs that we sang during various church services prior to the concert.  Interspersed between the rehearsals and the other activities of our week, I did find time to work on a few smaller projects.  I am also working on a couple of sweaters that won't be done for a while.

This is a "bead stew" bracelet from a kit purchased from Earthfaire.  It's fun and very different from my usual knitting.  It will be a gift.

I finished these Raggedy Ann booties after adapting the pattern.  Two patterns were combined because I wanted the booties to be smaller than they are with the normal pattern.

A few times each week I try to pick up my stitching needle and do some embroidery.  This sampler was started a LONG time ago, and I'm hoping this is the year it will be finished.

The next several weeks are promising to be just as busy.  There's a 50th college reunion and a high school graduation on the horizon, so don't be surprised if this blog is a bit silent.  Things should settle down by the end of June. See you then!
