What's Been Going On?

Apologies to Amos Lee.  I do love your music, so hopefully you'll forgive me for borrowing your song title.

Nope, not much of a blogger anymore.   Can't say I really ever was.  I did it to join knitting/yarn swaps back in the day.  I am fairly sure I have only one reader (hi, Ariel!) so I don't think I am missed.  At this point I am posting mainly to document events only for myself.

So what's been going on since I last posted?  

I finally donated my Project Linus quilt!  I finished this over my Christmas trip home.  But immediately afterwards I started a new job.  This was physically closer to the donation location, Quilt N Sew in Katy, but I was so busy during my lunch hours that I kept putting it off.  Finally, about a month ago, I was able to go and donate it.  I received a really nice call from Houston's Project Linus lady.  She assured me the quilt would be loved by someone, probably a little boy.  She told me that last year, 2012, Project Linus donated 8227 blankets to children in need.  That is both amazing and sad.  I had no idea the Houston area required so many blankets for sick or abused children, but felt so glad to know my quilt would comfort someone in need.  It also inspired me to make another one in the future though that's certainly not underway just yet.




On to a lighter subject:  a coworker got a group of us dog parents together to visit the dog bar/dog park.  I had been here when it first opened.  It was fun to go back again.  (In case you are wondering, I don't spend much time in bars unless I'm there waiting for a table in the restaurant.)



Yesterday I was busy on a trip to the oil field.


And today our group celebrated our achievements with a crawfish boil!


And there is no knitting to document as of now.  Maybe later?
