Olympics project

Here is my work so far on my Olympics yarn project. Top picture is progress 8-8, bottom is 8-9. When finished, it will be a small bag. In my mind it was going to be larger, but somehow ended up small. Oh well! I will probably finish it up in a few days and start another one, since it's so small.

I've been watching many various sports so far. Men's gymnastics, swimming, team volleyball and beach volleyball, scull rowing, and cycling. Looking forward to diving and women's gymnastics, as well as BMX biking.

Snowing!

I love to watch the snow. It's a nice winter feeling to be inside my (relatively) warm house, working on a project while it snows outside. Yesterday I made a necklace for my secret santee, then made one for myself. I spent the rest of the day working on my holiday cards. Last week I cut up all the paper into 2-card sheets, then I ran them through the printer to put the Anna picture on the back. I'm making about 30 cards, so I do one step at a time, to the whole batch of cards. Yesterday I did a paint step, then let them all dry, then cut the sheets into single cards. Then I did 2 glue steps and let them all dry in between, while being pressed under a pile of books. (Thanks Brockett, I knew you were good for something.) That took a long time. While things were drying I did a few sample paint things on scraps of paper and made a few stencil templates.

Today I'll do more paint stuff. That'll be fun.

PS: It's really starting to come down now. I wonder if it'll build up?
