Bits and Pieces… but nothing getting done.

Today…. I finished the first sock on the teeny tiny needles.  There is going to have to be a pretty special occasion before I ever think of starting a project like this one again.  I might just as well have knit an afghan, it would have taken the same time!!  Anyway, they are really nice.  I tried on the finished one, and they are nice and cozy.  socks 002
The pattern is pretty easy, really, just time consuming.  I will post the pattern under DIY shortly. 
Otherwise, while procrastinating about finishing the socks, I did a little embroidery.
I stitched these cute teabag characters snuggling with their strings wrapped around each other. I intended to use them as part of a patchwork tea bag wallet. I found some really cute teabag wallets on several blogs and thought it was a great idea. However, I misjudged some measurements ended up with a bit of a mess.... well not really a mess, but not what I intended either. So, now I have to rip some seams and do some touch ups. I thought I would share the embroidery with you in the mean time, as it is cute for Valentines Day coming up. :)
