hook and needle holder :]

Change of plans, snow is coming on Friday so I am going to leave a day early, so a lot more cleaning had to be done today than i had anticipated, but that's all right. Cleaning led me to find most of my hooks! Since I have so many in my possession now, I decided to make a little carrier for them and my knitting needles.   It holds three sets of knitting needles, and afghan hook, two large plastic crochet hooks, 9 smaller metal ones, two yarn needles tied together, and a small pair of scissors. It isn't exactly working the...

cleaning

Today I did a bunch more cleaning since I'll be heading back to school this friday.  I've made several donation piles and will be taking them tomorrow. My family is always telling me that I have WAY too many clothes, so I narrowed down my closet some, and will be taking some things to Plato's Closet, and a lot to goodwill. I'm hoping to make a t-shirt rag rug out of some of the shirts I'm getting rid of, so hopefully it will go well and i'll put a tutorial up on here :]  But anywho, tomorrow will consist of running errands...

HATS!

Today I'm doing my post a little earlier than normal. Vincenso is coming to visit me and my family tonight (he's making us all dinner! what a great bf! ) so I didn't want to have to take time away from his visit to post. So rather than  doing a post on what I did today, I'm doing a post on what I love, and use to make all the time, HATS! I love them! big tam hats, slouchy hats, beanies, goofy hats, all kinds of hats. In order to show you how much I love making hats, I thought it would be fun to fill today's posts with the...

packing up books

I didn't find time today for any pictures sadly, I was up late, and ended up sleeping all morning. : / I really hate when I do that, but when I finally got around to things today, I was organizing. I'm a bit of a pack rat, I'm just like my father in that way sadly. So since I'm only home for a little over a week before school starts up again, I figured it was time I start getting some things organized and packed up for when I graduate next year and, GULP, move out on my own. Its crazy because I feel like I just started college, and I know when the time comes and I'm looking back, its still going to feel like it was just yesterday...

project two

Today I finished my shirt! HIP HIP HOORAY for project 2 being done way early! It isn't exactly like the photo I was inspired by, but it's still pretty cute. Tomorrow I plan on getting better pictures of a few things hopefully, and then a photo will be up :] besides my crocheted shirt, today wasn't really busy when it comes to work for the blog/store. I stayed up way too late last night ( 5 am...whoops..)  as I was busy with movies, the shirt and surfing the net for blog layouts so I ended up sleeping in pretty late. Once I was up we took my sister to a game store where I ended up buying a ps1 and crash bandicoot games....

yarn shopping :]

my older sisters got me the niftiest periodic table flashcards (...yes I am that science geek that asked for periodic table flashcards for christmas...and yes...i love them) and a gift card to jo ann fabrics. So today when my family left to go shopping, I went with them to get some yarn. Ohhhh the amazing colors and textures <3 My usually yarn options are only those at Walmart, and in the tiny towns I frequent, there aren't very many options when it comes to texture, so I usually stick to the tried and true RedHeart brand, but tonight...

my resolution

This year, one of my new year's resolutions is to complete 52 projects in 52 weeks. Which is one of the main reasons why I wanted to start this blog. I wanted to give myself someway of documenting it, thinking, if its out here in the world, I'll be more inclined to do it. I'm definitely going to need some motivation this summer when I plan on doing my required internship,while working as close to full time as possible, and taking summer courses to free up some space my senior year. YIKES. Just thinking about it stresses me out...so on...

day one...

2012 will hopefully bring exciting things to my life, and I decided that I want to blog about it. As my cousins, and possibly my little sister and I, start a small business of our own, Id love to keep track of my personal adventure. So now, in the last 10 minutes of the first of the year, I've signed up for a blog, and I anxiously await for the next year to unfold, and I hope to eventually have people that will follow my blog and watch our adventures unfold as well. What I'm hoping to achieve through this blog is not only a documentation of the starting of our business, but also, creative insperation through...
