look what i can do!


alexa's new hat...made in about an hour and a half (it was my first ever crochet hat)! I made another one right after and it only took about an hour. I think maybe these will be great christmas gifts :O) Look out family...act surprised...and since we're at it, what colors do you like?

on the subject of yarn, i went to michael's yesterday and for $10 i got a kit called "i taught myself to knit". I can not wait to get started! I'm so glad i didn't donate that big bag of yarn...I've been getting in to it twice a week :O)

it is spirit week at the HS and alexa needs some properly bright and tacky 80's style clothing to wear for her skit tonight, so I am off to the thrift stores in town to see what i can find. also need to find a plain white sheet for toga day because even though she SAYS she won't want to dress up, if all her friends dress up, and we don't have a plain white sheet, woe be to me!

and last but not least, i am almost done with the goodies for the apothescary swap, love how they turned out, and will post a pic later :O) in the meantime, here is a picture of my workspace saturday afternoon. enjoy.




PS, yes, i'm always this scrapdisastrous, because that's how i roll. yo.
