PBR '09
Its been a long week and this was the beginning of a great weekend. Woohoo! We will be going again tonight and I hope I get to go tomorrow too but no guarantees at the moment. I've finished another dishcloth and haven't started anything new. Not sure what I will do next though I'm wanting to make something. Just don't know what yet. ;) I'm doing a lot of reading and watching old movies and cartoons, which is so much fun. Well back to work more later.
Have an awesome weekend!

Very quiet around here but I did manage to complete a few cloths and a lovely scarf for my daughter using her stash. Here are a few pictures:
