How do you like the new face of MOOSENOWL!? Thank Ryan for making it happen. It was about time we came up with an originial look for it, since before it was just a generic template. Hopefully it can allure some new readers and I hope to post a new project soon, in the mean time…why not watch the olympics!?
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!
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!
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 =]
I am one of the biggest book worms around. That being said I have decided to add to my blog by writing small reviews and recommendations on the most recent books I have read. I have always had a passion for reading, even though I am not the best writer. I love that you can lose yourself in an entirely different world.
For my first recommendation, I chose Jennifer Weiner’s Good in Bed.Her novel is about a young women going through dramatic life changes, such as break up, pregnancy, and dealing with all the problems the world throws at her. Candice Shapiro is a lively character that deals with being overweight, having her sex life published in a magazine, and having a lesbian mother. I thought Jennifer Weiner did an excellent job tying all these issues together and making it work. Not many could pull of this kind of story. I was extremely into this novel. I also love that the book didn’t end with Candice losing a ton of weight and become the image she thought she wanted, instead she learns to be content with how beautiful and real her body is. I could not put this book down at all, I am happy that Jennifer did write a sequel, which I hope to read soon =]
After a VERY long break, I have returned to crafting! And my blog. =] I am happy to say that I started and finished a very awesome project. I have been surfing the net on my down time and came across many ideas. I found lots of very pretty fabric, that I just HAD to have! This past Saturday, as I sat eating breakfast, I decided my slump was over! Since then I worked hard on my very first apron. I used the awesome cupcake material I had bought because I am indeed a baker/awesome cupcake maker =D I couldn’t choose between the yummy brown and the tasty purple. so I made the apron reversible! woo! Here is the brown side…..
And here is the purple…..
Here is the top waist band and ties….
And here is a close up of the bottom corner, which I had sewn with right sides facing and then turned it right side out and ironed it before making it very pretty!
Well, not a huge update, but still a good one! I am hoping for a lot more of these! Hope everyone has a wonderful week, oh and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I am starting to feel that I am drowning in all of the things I need to get done! I want to do so much, but I am just one person. Where to begin!? Sometimes I just want to freeze time and work at my own pace, but the world just won’t slow down. I have to take a deep breath, take a step back and just tackle the project clostest to being finished. I will continue to try harder and harder!
The new year is coming! Hooray! I am excited as I am sure millions of others are. Start making those resolutions! haha Well, I can say that I am only making one and that is to continue being optimistic as possible. =] Here is a funny picture….riding into the new year!
I have continuously neglected my blog and I can only say that I am disappointed in myself. I have quite a few projects in mind and I have so many things I could blog about, yet I don’t…..partly I blame the fact that I have no way of currently getting photos of said pojects and I hate to blog withouth a picture! A picture is worth a thousand words and I need to have one! I just have to, I feel so empty without them. Soon, I will get things rolling and get pictures up and start blogging better. I found this link on how to take detailed photos of your crafts, and it gave me some new insite, so I thought I would share….
Its funny and ironic how my last post was about my blog neglectfulness…..I still continue to neglect my poor blog. I feel bad, but sometimes I can’t even find the time to live! I keep leaving myself reminders, but they are in so many different places, and then I forget to check them and all that. Ugh….I keep wanting to just start over. My room is a mess, I am a mess, everything is just a mess! mess! mess!Tomorrow = my new start (I mean it this time!)
I will start by having a clean room and workspace, also using ONE planner for my reminders and such.
that is all…for now.
I will post updates so that I can keep myself in check
By the way, as far as crafts go…I am currently working on a blanket for myself, just finished a sweater for lucky see picture below (not very good quality) and I still have to start a blanket for Nick and beanies for Justin and Brandon. Lots of work! =]
