I'mma little elf

I wanted to make something with my new Xmas yarn stash but didn't know what and well I found this cute little pattern for a 10 inch thick scarf (which is a little much for Florida) Well I changed alot of things about it and turned it into an elven hooded scarf and its my fave thing to wear! best thing about it is I can wear it all year if I wanted! light weight and breathable yet warm enough for a cold day.

HAPPY NEW...

UNICORN?

Yes unicorn! I was a very bored girl this evening and decided to wip up an new pet for me and the hubby. I wish I wrote down the pattern as I went but I didnt :( but I will be wipping up another for my dog so I will be wrighting it down soon and I'll be posting it the pattern. Until then enjoy the cute picture of "chowder the majestic" yes the cat is named chowder :) <3>

chrismas is comming as well as...

So Christmas is coming and in two days a very special birthday as well. I love this time of year! I love the cold although this year I wasn't prepared for it like i was last year when it decided not to be cold lol. Anyways my baby girl will be 1 on the 8Th and I cant believe it! I'm gonna make something for her (just don't know what) and then Christmas will be here soon. Were hoping to go to Tennessee later in January so I'm looking forward to it although I'm skeptical on if we're still going. Also in January i will be starting on my divorce from my ex thank the heavens for that! As for the new year my only hope is that me and Jay get married finally and that our little Zoie will get the adoption by him that we have been waiting for! All in all I think this 2011 year shall be an exciting one :) many new projects ahead as well so be prepared for some pattern fun :)

thankful for the holidays?

So after the husle and busle of the thanks giving holiday me and my family of girls (oh and jay) decided to go have some fun at the craft store. So ne who i got a new talent... kniting! so yeah i bought me some new yarn called blankie omg so soft i love it! and a teach your self to knit book. and thus started to knit i got the basics but with all the distractions of my world I find it is much harder to knit then it is to crochet so how do i split my time to do both? crochet while the kidos are up and driving every one crazy and knit when they are quietly asleep in their beds. and if your wondering why i decided to pick up knitting??? thanksgiving night to our delight and surprise we find out there is to be a new addition yay :) so i want to make something extra special that i havent done for the others yet. we wont know the sex til later in december and that gives me some time to master the basics. AND to top off all that my little baby will be one next week how the time flies. and shes starting to walk and talk and its overwhelmingly happiness for me with a touch of sadnees for they grow up so fast :/

a blanket for grandma

So I'm taking a small break from crochet for a few days after this project! I had only a few days to make this blanket for my grandma's 70Th birthday. The whole thing was a surprise. My aunt decided to have a last minute surprise party for her and it was a HUGE surprise. To top it off I gave her this blanket made in her favorite color YELLOW! She was so happy to see it :) and a bonus I got to meet my cousin's wife Jo Jo and her new bundle of joy. Good thing I brought baby James's blanket too :)

All and all a good day for us all, hugs all around. Only down fall is hubby got in a pretty bad wreck on the way home from work and his fave car didn't make it out alive so I'll be surprising him with a blanket with the "Mits" emblem and colors on it. hope he likes it <3

Venting just isnt gonna help...

so yeah like the title says venting just isn't gonna help :( but oh well things were so good and now yet again i just cant trust any one i hate that helpless alone feeling i get when my world gets all scrambled up and i have to slowly let people back in i hate the uncertainty of trust and all to do with it. needless to say in venting on my house and my crochet stash and they are hurting from my anger. soon the clothes will feel my pain as well. my f***ing chest hurts like a mother f***er and i don't have any thing to calm my self. just trapped inside my head thinking thinking thinking i cant stand it! i hate not being able to shut off my thoughts and i just feel like I'm shutting down. what can i do?... like i said venting just isn't gonna help :(
