Spring Break, Painting and Knitting

Between Isi teething, my severe allergies, spring break, and a successful party for the guys Ted works with, I seem to have fallen way behind on my blog. We have some catching up to do. This last week we went to the Zoo and visited their new, temporary, exhibit, 'Stingray Bay'. The girls were able to put their hands in the water and the stingrays would come right up to you to be pet. Isi loved it and screamed like crazy the whole time out of excitement. We also played mini golf and attended a Coyotes vs. Dallas Stars hockey game. The Coyotes were winning but the Stars caught up and won in a sudden death shoot out. Too exciting!

I am posting pictures of one old project and one new project. The first is of the guest room that received a paint job and a new bed. Neat color, huh?

The second is my custom, hand knit, one of a kind, knitting design I am working on. I have decided to start coming up with my own patterns and this will be the very first one of a dress for Isi from a pattern I sewed with fabric for her. So far I have learned that decreases only on the sides somehow make the sides way longer than the rest of the dress. Having already, almost completed this project once, I faced my denial and ripped the whole thing apart to start over (5days of knitting to be precise). This time things seem to be working a lot better and I should have a picture up the next time I update my site.

Keep in touch,
Love Charmaine, girls and one Ted.
