Olympic crafting

I love watching as many Olympic sports as possible. Skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, speed skating, curling! They are so much fun! Since I am still dealing with a head cold, I haven’t been feeling like leaving the house and venturing out into the cold weather. The Olympics are a great distraction. We are no longer in the deep freeze, but it is still Winter and the snow that fell three weeks ago is still on the ground. 

My days have been spent drinking lots of fluids, watching TV as well as quilting or knitting. The background of Having a Ball is about halfway quilted. 

I am really enjoying the process. I’m pleased with the quilting. 

The first of two socks is completed. It is not perfect, but it fits. 

The second sock is well on its way and is definitely looking better than the first. I can see myself knitting more socks in the future with a better yarn. This yarn is somewhat scratchy, but it is a good yarn for a first try.

 One of my few outings this week was to a local quilt shop to get fabric to back the I-Spy quilt. It is the same fabric that I used for the other two I-Spy quilts that I made. 

Hubby’s birthday was on Thursday. It was a small celebration. 

I will be joining Frederique at the Quilting Patch on Saturday and Kathy for some Slow Sunday Stitching. I hope you take some time to relax with some tea, coffee or hot chocolate and pop on over to their sites to see what other bloggers are stitching. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thanks for stopping by!
