So, it hasn’t been all fancy nail art around here.  There has been some knitting going on, but it is all shop samples!  Since I already post them on The Village Knitter Facebook page, I wasn’t sure if I would have a re-do here on Ye Olde Blogge.  All that hemming and hawing was wearing me out and since I need to feed the blog, here goes.

We have been working on The Great American Aran Afghan.  It is a monthly class where we work on a square – a lot of fun and laughs and a very low pressure way to tackle a somewhat intimidating, large project!  Here are two of my contributions.  I actually knit the spider one twice while test knitting a yarn …..

ooo la la

Tonight D#2 and I had a good old fashioned Girls’ Night, complete with fancy manicures.  These  nails are Salon Effects that we picked up at Target.  I had seen them on one of our young, hip customers and wanted to give them a try.  I feel younger and hipper already!   Once we got the hang of it, they were easy to apply and I think we did a decent job for our first time.

D#2 is home for a long weekend  – she is working on campus this summer.   We are also doing a bit of birthday celebrating — she turns 21 in a week, so there was shopping and cake!  She will have to wait until next week to have her first beer.
