Shawl - looking good!

When I got home I decided that I'd take advantage of my recent class on knitting continental and only knit that way throughout the rest of this shawl.  I know it won't be perfect but if I don't use the skill I'll never get good at it.  Sooooo....here goes nothing.  Here is a couple photos of the shawl being modeled by my 5 year old Z.

Think I'm going to have to invest in a blocking board and some pins.  

Who invited the Tiger for tea?

Abby enjoyed a cup of tea after dinner.   Z chose to go to the kids club rather than a 2 hour dinner.

Shirts in action!

Very happy with the way these came out!

My first shawl

Working on this in the car on the way to disney.   It is the boneyard shawl.   Instead of M1R and M1L I'm just doing YO's.

Apps for Traveling?

We are getting ready to go to Disney and this will be my first trip with an iPad. I've been collecting apps for travel helpfulness and also for entertainment purposes.   Myself, Hubby and two girls ages 10 and 5.

Here is my list so far:

• WDW Lines - info on wait times, park hours, crowd levels etc.  
• Yarnphone - searches for nearby yarn stores!
• Flower Garden - grow your own flowers (more fun than it sounds)  You can even clip various flowers in order to make a bouquet and then send that bouquet via facebook or email
• Where - searches for various things (food / lodging) nearby
• SitorSquat - user reviewed public bathrooms!
• Beat the Traffic - uses maps to tell you how to get around traffic congestion
• Road Trip LE - keeps track of MPG etc
• RT Bingo HD - a road trip bingo game that can be played by one or two players 
• Faces iMake Premium - I got the premium version ($1.99) since I read that the .99 has ads and I don't want my kids seeing inappropriate ads on accident.  
• WhiteNoise - love this app for blocking outside noise
• Sally's Spa or Salon - this was already on my iPad and my iTouch but I just have to mention it because it is the best all-time time waster app ever!

Shirts for our upcoming Disney trip

A little embroidery goes a long way.  :)   Been working on these shirts for a while then my machine broke so I had to have it serviced in order to finish!   ACK!   $500 later here is the finished products.
