2006 UFO - Can I Officially Call It Done? Secret #1- Sneaky Peaky!

9-06 - stands for September 2006 - the Official Date this Project was started.

I started this project for Christmas 2006, and promptly set it aside in November that year when there was no way it would be done pre-US-Thanksgiving, my official Christmas mail date. I picked it back up about a month ago and worked on it periodically over the course of a couple weeks......

7-6-08 - The date the project was completed except for the zipper.

Can I call it done now or do I have to really sew in that dreaded zipper?!

She's Off the Needles..... YAY!

2 years in coming but project 08-Christmas Secret #1 (9-06) is finally off the needles! The (9-06) is Sept 2006 when this puppy was started. I'm a changed woman.
A little finishing here and there, a little ends weaving and I'll be on to another project!

This little beauty isn't haunting my UFO box anymore!

Ahh .... relief!

Aperture and Pants

So on with the learning about the camera.... here is my lesson in aperture..... if you look at the photos you can see the background becoming clear... It stops being really noticeable at F 1/11 but if I'd used a different subject or been closure you might have seen more! Oh well it was a neat exercise!
In the mean time for you non-camera / non-scrapbook folks, I worked up a pair of Longies for little S. The pattern is Tiny Birds Longies and the yarn is Lion Felting Wool.... I just loved the colours and couldn't resist! :)
