I bought a new book! And so far it is beyond wonderful =]

I have always enjoyed sewing, but recently I’ve wanted to learn more and sew more…so I bought this extremely helpful guide that includes some fun patterns. Hopefully soon I can post about something I have sewn!

Sew Everything Workshop

 

This weekend I cam across a very cute hat, which I just had to make for myself! It’s a crocheted puffy hat =)

Here is the link and a picture from her site!

Two projects left unfinished….I don’t like leaving project unfinished, but I am stuck. The two in question are this kiwi bird I came across some months ago and the halloween pirate pal from Lion Brand Yarn.

 

The problem I am having with these is crocheting the feet and beak for the kiwi bird, and the legs and arms on the pirate. I don’t know why I cannot get them to work for me. I have crocheted tiny flowers and other patterns, but for some reason I am stuck. Hopefully if I keep trying I can get them to work. If you have any advice I am more than happy to listen =]

I have not one excuse for putting off blogging. I had many afternoons that I could have updated everyone about something!, but alas I let the lazy bug get me. Since my last post I have come quite a ways….

I decided to overcome some fears and prove to myself that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. So what did I decide to do? Fly! I booked a ticket and flew to Vegas! I was greeted by Ryan and his family, but I did fly all alone….which I still feel unreal about. I had a tremendous experience and am way proud of myself.

I hope I can keep up on the wonderful new knowledge that I am capable to do more than even I thought possible. On that bright note, I leave you with this….Think of something out of your comfort zone, no matter how small…maybe asking a stranger how their day was? or even giving that jerk the gift of kindness? I dunno, you decide….and let me know how it goes. Good Luck =]
