Bet y'all been wondering what's happened to me. I haven't been posting here, haven't been going to SNB, I haven't been venturing out much anywhere! It's not burn out - it was plain old illness. Illness brought on by all the craziness that's been going on. I think my body just told me - REST dammit!

I've been slowly working on a few projects. I'm making these cute little key chain bags for my team over at Richmondmommies. (Pen included for scale) Now I just need to figure out what to put in them.



I also started on a new project for me. This is the start to the Summer Berry Shell from Quick Knits to Wear.



Yeah, I know it got lousy reviews from the 2 people who said something but I like a lot of the sweaters in it. I guess I'm just tragically unhip. I got Knitting Nature for Mothers day but am not overly impressed. I like some of the ideas she has but overall there is very little in there that I would actually wear. (Doesn't Ms. Gaughan believe in the concept of putting shoulders in sweaters?) I do LOVE the spiral scarf and see in on me made up with the leftovers from the Dr. Who scarf!

I thought I would end this post with a bunch of pictures of my roses.



This is one of my favorite ones. Pink with just a hint of yellow.



My one and only red rose.


Here is my pink climber. Or at least that is what the package said. Surprise ... What do you expect from a $2 rose from Big Lots?


My oldest and largest bushes. I think I picked the perfect spot for this one!


I also have a few miniature roses. This is Princesses favorite.


And this one is Bossy's



And here is my yellow rose. Yes it was a yellow one at one point ... that is until last year. Last year it was purple and this year it seems to want to be pink.
