So much belated updateness

Photo updates.

Husband's glove.  One day I will get back to working on itl

 

My two random side projects:

the practice doily:

This guy is crazy stiff.  I ironed it out, and it could stand up on its own.  Ridiculous, but would be really good for snowflakes.  It's too bad that I don't know what brand it is (it was a present from a friend's mom who didn't want it anymore)

My skirt:

 

Which pretty much looks like a pile of nothing.  That's more than half complete.  It's going to be really short.  I hope I have enough yarn to lengthen it a little it, and that the lace will stretch after I block it.  That's how lace works, right?  I think that was after I had to tink the row where I accidentally moved on to the next section--where I had to double the number of stitches.  Curses. 

And finally, my present to myself.  It was on sale!  AND I even came home and asked the husband about it (he's my sugar daddy, as he's the one with a 'real job').  That's pretty much all my 'fun money' for the month though.  I'm really excited.  It may be more fun to craft than it is to do archaeology (don't tell anyone I said that!).
