Blanket is done and more

So I finally finished the blanket, however I also created a new hat for my son, I always wanted to do an animal hat, and honestly it was easier then I thought it would be, and I did not follow a pattern.

Blanket

Here is the hat that I created for my son

and one with my son actually wearing it.

Cute right? I was so excited about the hat. I’m even more excited about this next hat I’m doing, its creative, not seen another one thats crocheted like it before. Stay toned I promise I have more in store.

A new update

Sorry it has been awhile since I have updated this blog. I’ve been working hard on this blanket, and finally I see a light at the end! YAY!

So I have finished all the squares, just need to finish decorating them. The picture I am about to show, I have went a lot further, I have all the pink ready to have the heart added to them, working on white now.

So this is it for now, will update again when I start sewing pieces together.

Yet another update

So the blanket I am working on is coming alone, just not fast enough lol. I’m at #12 for squares, I took yesterday off from crocheting, but back on track today, I think I am going to get all the squares out then work on hearts, then tie them together afterwards, maybe that’ll make it go faster…

Well onto other things, Yesterday was my 28th birthday, so I’m officially a year older… Can’t wait till the weekend, we are going out, and having some fun. My mom is keep Seth for 2 days, and he’ll have fun there . He is excited lol, he keeps asking if its Friday yet.

My husband and I have decided to try for another baby, well kinda, we aren’t preventing, but we’ve discussed it, and he doesn’t care if I get pregnant, but at the same time he does, because he is a worried wart, but he knows if it happens it happens. Myself, I can’t wait, I believe if we are to have another child, the time is now, we need to work on it, Seth is almost 7 and if we have another, he’ll be 7 when he or she is born. I would love a little girl, but as long as the baby is healthy I don’t mind, I have names for both.  I can’t wait till April to get here to find out one way or another lol… I am charting, so thats good I guess.

Guess thats about it really.

Blanket update

So I have finally finished the first row, 5 squares per row. I’m thinking 30 squares all together should do it, but I’m not sure, guess we’ll find out. I am almost done with the 1st square for next row.

So I still have a lot more to do, however I hope in the next 2 weeks I’ll be done

Been awhile

It has been a while. I apologize about that. However I have a few things done. I am working on baby shower gifts. So far I have 2 hats and a pair of booties created, I am working on squares for a blanket. I won’t call them granny squares because they aren’t, I did not follow a pattern, I just did what I thought might look good. I have some pictures of the things I’ve done and I’ll keep you updated on my first blanket progress .

Well I’ll be updating as I go with the blanket …

New Project

So last night I started on a new project, I am making a scarf, a scarf for myself, I always wanted one, I’ve never had a scarf my entire life. However, I live in a place that it does not get really cold, but this past winter, its been really cold, and its really cold now, I bet once I get the scarf done, it won’t be cold anymore, and the winter will end. That would be my luck.

The colors are going to be an off white, with a reddish purpleish flower, the color of the yarn is stunning. I’m using Lion Brand yarn, and the yarn feels like velvet, its so soft and I just can’t wait to finish it.

I guess that is about all..

Cross heart hat

So I finally finished the hat I made for a friend of mine, well internet buddy …

Ain’t it cute? hehe… Now I just need to mail it off to her.

I am gonna work on another hat for another friend soon, so this is the only update I have right now.

Feb 2nd

Well I finally finished the actual hat, I just have left to put on the details. I am ready to be done with this one.

So let me ask you guys something, if you had a friend who you use to talk to like all the time, you went to each other all the time for advice, all the sudden quit coming to you after you introduced this friend to someone else, they became better friends then the 2 of you are, however you get frustrated and quit trying because its evident that yeah you guys might still love each other as friends, but at the same time this person puts you off unless the other person is no where around. Then this person comes to you, how would you feel?

I am going through this, and quit frankly I’m friends with both of them but it makes me mad that I can’t talk to this person without this person talking on and on about this other person, I am so happy they are friends, however, I miss our friendship as well. Just kinda annoyed, this person NEVER talks to me unless this person needs something from me or the other person is not around to talk to about things. I don’t know, I just feel put off.

I guess that is my rant.

Where have I gone off to?

HELLO!

It is after 1am, so I’m about to head to bed, but I wanted to let you guys know I’m still alive haha!

My husband bought me a Wii for my 28th birthday, but my birthday is not till March, however, I got it early because we got it with our income tax, and well I wanted one so bad, plus I got the wii fit! I tell ya, I love that thing. He spoiled me, which I do think I deserved hehe…

Now after we got home from buying this, my husband found out from a friend of ours, who worked with him, and works on his side of the shop, that he was laid off, and now they are doing lay off’s on his side of the shop. SO! My husband could be laid off anytime now, however, we think he has at least 2 months left. If he does, they might get one of these bids in that the job has put in. HOPEFULLY! if you pray, please pray they do. This is the best paying job my husband has ever had, and well its decent, and we live comfortably and would hate to go from that, to unemployment and living off food stamps. (there is nothing wrong with that, for people who have too, its people who do it that don’t really need it, that bug me, however I do not want to go this rout).

Ok well now onto something else. I been exercising my bum off. I got my Wii about 3 days ago, and already lost 1 1/2 lbs woohoo! I am so sore and so tired right now, however, it’ll be worth it in the long run woop!

Crocheting, well I’m still working on a hat, today my grandmother came over with a big bag of yarn lol, this yarn feels like velvet its so soft haha… I can’t wait to make something out of it. I have like 10 of these bundles of yarn she bought me.  After I get done with the white hat I am making, I have a hat to make for a friend, its a surprise though haha…

Tomorrow, or well today I guess since its 1:15am… I am cooking a roast, so I’ll be in the kitchen most the day, I still want to make Donuts for my son, however, I know I’ll be tempted to eat one, and knowing me, I’ll want more then one, so I better hold off till I can build my will power up. YES I am on a diet, but I rather call it a life style.

Ok well I’m going to bed! Goodnight!

Jan 27th

Well Good morning everyone!

I am so very tired, I sometimes take a nape after I drop my son off, but I want to be tired by 10pm and go to bed early, so I can be well rested for my son’s meeting tomorrow. Well its my meeting with my son’s teacher. See his report card came in Monday, and just say it wasn’t too good. He did worse this 6 weeks then he did last 6 weeks. So I get to go to a meeting. Fun!

Today I need to clean up the kitchen, I went to bed at midnight last night and didn’t worry about cleaning up, which I should have, but I been working on a project. I need to empty the dish washer, and reload, I need to find the swifter, and get the cat hair out from under the sofa, and do around the edges of the stair case. Then I need to sweep the kitchen and maybe mop. I would like to make some homemade donuts for my son, but I’m really tired so I might not. Plus I am still working on a project and feel like there just isn’t enough time in one day.

Last night I made this

Its a replica of this logo I made for a friend for her website, and I am making her a hat with the logo on it.

So now I am just making the hat so I can sew the image on.
