Let's Bee Social #11

Well, I think this may be either the 2nd or 3rd time I am linking up to the Let's Bee Social linky party. So much for new year's ideas eh?

Been busy this week...worked the weekend which allowed me to work on my Plain Talk Sock pattern...

got to the point of starting the heel and learned that I had dropped a stitch somewhere about 4 inches (of my needed 7") down...altogether now "rip-it, rip-it". Love both the pattern and the yarn and I'll be starting it up again very soon. Working Thursday night so for sure I will have some time there to begin anew.

Working on my 12" mini quilt for Easter swap with Gone Stitchin' so I'm very sorry, but I have no sneaky peaky pictures to show yet.

Going through my stash to get at least 100 (no duplicates) 2" squares in preparation for the upcoming sign-ups for the PSQ swap with The Curious Quilter (see sidebar for link). Last October I was a "newbie" and boy did I get swamped with love and squares. Looking forward to paying it forward here!

I'm also working on my projects for the upcoming hops: Flags on a Stick, and Superpower, oh and I even have an awesome idea for picnics (even though signups have not yet begun).

I've also been waiting for signups for my Craft it Forward. I have 4 spaces left...go to this post to learn more and to signup. (Thank you Jodi of Mountain Gurl Quilts for having answered my original call!)

Well, that is it for today's chatter...off to Bee Social now...

Crafting it Forward in 2014

A short while back, I answered Terry's call for 5 people willing to sign up to "craft it forward".

And I received a beautiful candle mat from her...pictured here front, then back. Isn't it lovely!

And now it is my turn to Craft it Forward... here are The Rules:

1.     I will make a crafty gift for the first five (5) people to comment on this post and say they would like to be a part of my Craft it Forward. The gift you will receive is a small surprise, and will arrive to you anytime within the next nine (9) months.

2.     To sign up to take part in Craft it Forward, you must commit to doing the same. Once you receive your item from me, post this (or something similar) on your blog so others can get involved. You then make them something, and Craft it Forward goes on and on!

3.     Leave a comment on this post telling me that you wish to participate. Please do NOT leave your mailing address in this comment, but rather, be sure I have a way to contact you so you can provide me with your snail mail address then, and I can get your crafty gift off to you as smoothly as possible.

Thank you to Terry for the fun I had receiving her cute little parcel, and thank you to those willing to commit!
