New FO!

Nothing in the mug today!It is tooooo hotttttt for warm drinks!

I cast-off the shawl for my mom's Christmas gift recently. It was a KAL for two groups on Ravelry. This is the Larch Scarflet pattern, and it was an easy and quick knit :)

New Hobby!!

What's In My Cup: I can't believe it myself, but I'm empty! It's almost bedtime, so I am done for today ;)

So, my youngest son and I have started geocaching. Tried to involve hubby and the oldest son as well, but they weren't into it. So, little guy and I have been having a great time "hunting for boxes" as he calls it! I just wanted to share our two most recent finds, as they were pretty cleverly hidden:

Misc

In my cup this beautiful day: French Broad Blend from Blue Smoke Coffee in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Compliments of a lovely swap partner!

So, here's what I've been up to:

I sewed a top/shorts set for a friend's soon-to-be-born baby. Simplicity 2625 (I've sewn this one before)


I got tied up by a little boy who likes to think he's Rosco P. Coltrane (and with my own yarn!)


And, I got some very exciting mail:
Stitch markers from Melissa


And, a whole slew of DPNs (and a pretty needle roll to contain them in), and some more pretty stitch markers from Tonja

Swappy Goodness!!

The Odd Ducks Swap: Hometown Swap. This is a secret swap, where you don't know who is sending to you, so I was really surprised when a large flat rate box appeared in Friday's mail!!

The hometown represented? Austin, TX!
Look at the loveliness contained therein:

MOHS

My dear Ravelry Swap Partner, Tutorgal, sent me this fabulous package :)

A New Project

In the Mug Today:Some amazing Kaffi from my Icelandic friend, Eva Huld

I made a needle roll for my swap pal, Nina. I just upsized the pattern for the Lazy Girl Wonder Wallet. It was a fun and fast project!

What's In My Cup: Millstone Breakfast Blend
So yummy and warm on this crisp Autumn morning in Southern Maryland!

So, I just finished sewing a dress for my niece:

I made a size 5 for her. She is almost 3 years old.
This garment (made from cotton fabric) went together perfectly. It looks pretty much exactly like the pattern envelope. I didn't make any adjustments.
