Snuggle

I finished this blanket this morning.



I'll take it to the local Humane Society soon. It was a good way to use up some odd balls leftover. And studies have shown that animals who have a hand made blanket at the shelter are more likely to be adopted. So hopefully this helps some dog or cat find a new home!

Socks! And Skating!

I finished some socks!



It felt nice to knit something for myself after rushing to finish stuff for Christmas.

I also went skating last night, and that was really fun. Although I am very sore this morning. I didn't fall once, though, and that was a plus. It was a little rough getting started, but once the zambonied the ice, and I got back into it, I did much better. I want to go again at least once before the rink closes for the season, maybe I'll even learn to skate backwards!

Oh, and random picture of me in my new Sesame Street shirt Darcy and Dad got me.

My new coffee mug

So I got this sweet mug from Starbucks today. Its a travel mug, but you can change out the pattern. The bottom unscrews and you slip a piece of paper in with whatever you want on it. I bought it thinking it would be fun when the boys color pictures for me to be able to carry them around.
I went through a magazine of mine and found this cool ad for some kind of liquor, so I ripped it our and it became my first pattern.



Isn't that fun? It looks like antique wallpaper to me.

Look What I Did!

My brother gave me a giftcard to Lowes for Christmas. At first I didn't know what to buy. But then as I got home and started unpacking, it hit me. I need another dresser. I went to the store today and got this:


And yes, I assembled it all by myself. So now I actually have an empty drawer in my dresser, which is nice. I've been trying to cram stuff in to no avail.

Oh yeah, I started school. But thats boring, I'll talk more about that when its exciting.

Sheep!

Sheep are done!


They went pretty fast. I made two white sheep and one black one. I think they are pretty cute.

We Three Kings

"Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold wise men from the East came to Jerusalem saying, "Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and come to worship Him" -Matthew 2:1-2

The wise men are done!



They have definitely been the most intricate figures to make so far. I'm done with the shepards too, but won't post pics of them until their staffs and sheep are done.

Long Time No Post

Well I have not posted in a while. I've been pretty busy with school and life in general. I got a washer and dryer this past week. It was $125 for both and the are brand new! I was so excited. I am going to save so much money not going to the laundromat.
I am going to get on later and post some pictures and update some more, but for now I am just letting everyone know Im still alive. LOL
