still here :-)

I am still here. no pictures today. Been busy trying to pack up the 625 sweaters my wonderful group made last month! Going to wait till the weather cools a bit before shipping. We are now working on newborn blankets for the babies and I am also trying to do a Christmas hat or 2 every evening. I also need to do some Halloween hats. Just not enough hours in the day to get everything done. Right now I am impatiently waiting on the UPS man. you see I was bad again and ordered 3 boxes of yarn from Hobby lobby!2 will be here today and the 3rd will be here next Tuesday! I can't wait. new colors! just got an email from coats & clark and they have a new acrylic yarn self striping called stripes. Have not seen it anywhere yet but will be looking for it. lol..........

well back to trying to pack some more sweaters while I wait on the big brown truck!!!!!!!!

Feeling overwhelmed

just thinking about the holidays and everything that needs to be done for the babies and really feel overwhelmed.We just finished our sweater drive and we need newborn blankets now and always, so am working on those for Sept. . then I think of Halloween and Christmas coming so quickly and everything I would like to do and I know there is no way I can get it all done. I am just one person! We are doing xmas stockings for the babies this year.I would like to do hats & booties for all of them and I know I can't . Does anyone else ever feel this way. I think I just put too much pressure on myself. At least thats what my husband says. lol.

I am buying 4oz bottles and some pacifiers to go in the stockings, also a few other little things. I think it is a great project if I would just stop putting so much pressure on myself. I have to understand that I can only do so much even though I want to do more. I need to relax and just do what I can :-)

sweater 97 to 101 plus a dress

have met my goal of 100 sweaters plus 1 and also made a dress in the new Bernat softee peach. May do a couple more sweaters before the end of the month but wanting to get back on blankets as winter is coming soon and we need to keep the wee ones warm.

sweaters 84 to 96!!

here are sweaters 84 to 96! 4 more and I reach my goal of 100 sweaters!

sweaters 80 to 83!

here are sweaters 80 to 83. the colors used are ILTY Sport called Hot spot Multi. I liked working with this yarn . It is a little easier to work with than bernat softeee. I think it feels a wee bit heavier. the other colors are Lion Brand soft baby in Spring green. Redheart baby sport pomp. in Summer set (discontinued) and the other one is one of the Yarn bee yarns from hobby lobby. lost the wrapper but is very soft :-)

Sweaters 75 thru 79

Well I am getting closer to my goal. I am sure am trying to hit 100!
