Hopefully that's about to change - I've got some stuff on the needles, and some big old good intentions...
For starters -
For Bubba. This is a modified Architect's Scarf from Greetings From the Knit Cafe. I realized that I had never made Bubba anything, and it seemed high time to rectify that. (Keeping in mind the whole "Boyfriend Curse" thing, I am going to make him promise to give it back if we break up...)
This has been a fun little project - made even more so because this is all stash yarn. You might recognize the colors from this, this, this, and these...
There were a couple of reasons why there's not been a ton of craftiness around here - the holidays, the plague, and the subsequent recoveries from both, for starters. But one of the big stumbling blocks to getting the party started again? Lack of supplies...
So I was delighted to see these arrive today:
Yes, my big envelope full of eyes finally arrived! (I ordered these the first week of December, but they were taking their own sweet time to be sent out...)
I really needed these: in addition to the 2 bears that I still have promised out, three more babies were born over the holidays*. Not to mention all the people I just would like to knit a bear for...
Better get knitting....
*Which to me is kind of impressive that my peers are still cranking out gorgeous and healthy babies. Impressive, and a little bit surprising... we're all getting old!

Great scarf!
I couldn't imagine crankin' out a baby. Yes, I'm getting old. Too old to birth babies!
I need to see if you have any good intel on eye procurement, as my supplies are dwindling and I got them all from this sketchy eBay shop.
Pretty scarf! and p.s.: the Boyfriend Curse is a loada beans.
you realize the trend among craftes is pregnancy, right?
better be prepared. that's all i'm saying.
Nice scarf! And very artfully posed for its picture!
I spent the last several days chasing after my sister's two small children.
I am definitely getting too old for that! (at least, for more than a few days of it!)
Hey easy on the oldness. If I remember right I am only a few years behind you. I am not ready to be an old barren maid yet. I just squeaked in on not being a spinster as it is!
Great scarf! I am sure that he will love it!
Great crafting already! Knit, knit, knit like the wind you little Cookie!
Love the scarf. And I think all I've made for Tim is a monkey t-shirt (freezer paper). Gah!
And no more babies for me, thankyouverymuch! I AM old!
Look at you, getting all crafty and stuff! You know, I never have made anything for my husband, not that I can think of anyway. Wait, does 3 babies count? Yes, I'm up to my eyeballs in babies. No more for me, thankyouverymuch.
lovely scarf. i think you're at the point in your realtionship with bubba that he deserves a scarf, all that "curse of the boyfriend sweater," be da*&^%! sounds like a great title for a nacy drew or knitting/murder mystery, no?
