A lot of things have been happening lately, and a lot of them scared me. I've been trying to deal with them, and I'm almost there. Thanks for hanging in.
I've just finished a two-part project that is both a double-first for me, and one that I can't tell you how giddy with proud I am of it! The firsts are blocking and cross-stitching, and I'm soooo happy that I didn't muck it up! I'm also proud 'cause... aw, just let me show you the pictures!!!
I made them with Super Saver in Cornmeal and Gold.
The weather will not make up its mind here. It was 60 last weekend, and, as predicted by Momma, this weekend should be somewhere in the teens. All for my birthday? Yay! I love cool weather! That way I can wear my scarves and hats and fingerless gloves and such!
It's raining today. A very good day to read. And to crochet.
I hope that it's rainy wherever you are so that you don't make to do much more than kick back and knock out a couple chapters.
Yes! We finally finished decking the house for Christmas! You can click them if you want to see them better.
I also had this idea for a project, so I threw down that Granny Stripe and started work on this:
Okay, there's a lot of white sc's... but trust me, I think I know what I'm doing! I hope that this is more of a hint:
No? Oh, okay then.
It was a very wet day today, and I hope it gets colder with it! It's not December until it's 50 degrees or lower! Here I go again, blabbing about the weather.
We've been putting up Christmas decorations around the house. I'm living in Christmas! I wish I could leave the stuff up all year 'round. LOVE IT!!!!
Now, there's something that happened a couple weeks ago that I keep forgetting to tell you guys.
It was a rainy Wednesday, and I had to go to my orthodontist for my braces. Well, Daddy came with me & Momma. After going for braces, we always go to the Aldi's that's on our way. I was crossing back into the parking lot after returning the cart, when something like a traffic jam happened. I half expected my parents to come pick me up at the front of the store, and they were, but a car raced in behind them, only to make a complete mess out of an ordinary situation. I realized that They'd have to go to clear it up, so I started running to the car. I was skidding in the puddles by the time I reached the car, I swung open the sliding door and was in my seat in what seemed seconds. To complete it, Daddy sped up as we headed out of the parking lot. Then he narrated: "And the red Dodge van made its getaway after she was escaping from the mad Dr. Grief." Such an Alex Rider moment. Now, when I think of Adli's, I think of Alex Rider.
Okay, I just HAD to tell you that story.
Not much crocheting going on, just a little bit more worked on that Granny Stripe and then I put it in a project bag. I pulled out some Christmas colors, and I'm now working on a bag that I had thought up.
I've been too busy with Christmas to take any pictures! Ha!
So, this post was to remind you that I'm still here, still crocheting. Next time, I PROMISE, I'll have pictures. See you then!
I usually don't sing the praises of days of the middle of the week, but today's an exception. It's been pretty good, except for the humidity. Here I go, barely three sentences in and boring you to death about the weather.
I snapped some pictures of Little Bit today. Here are some of the highlights:
I also started a new blanket... I really like crocheting them. XD
It's really big, and this picture doesn't do its size justice.
Here are the colors, in case you're interested.
I decided to use the leftover RH Super Saver Cafe from Momma's Christmas present and that RH Stripes I got on sale a couple weeks ago. I like how it's coming, and I've had to improvise some yarn since I ran out on some of them.. It looks patch-y and all. The pattern's easy, too, and I can work it mindlessly while watching The Big Bang Theory or Top Gear.
