For the past month I have wanted one thing in particular, but I am not sure if it is worth the investment…its the Cricut! So what do you think? I enjoy scrap booking and I would LOVE to make cards of my own. I am just not 100% sure I should spend that much…..is it worth it? I am still debating.
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….
A couple of weeks ago, I was working on the Pirate Pal, a free pattern from the Lion Brand website….when my co-worker asked if I would make him a blanket. So the past couple of days that is what I set out to do. He wanted it to be green, but I knew he would like it better if it wasn’t just one solid color. I chose avocado green and natural heather. I am very pleased with how it is turning out. Here is a photo of how its looking so far!
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! =]
oh no! I have been neglecting my blog! bad, bad, bad me! I have just been a crazy mess! I have been doing this and that and work and sleep and play and basically everything except my blog! I am soo sorry blog, I still love you! I have just been preoccupied…..I will get better at updating and post new stuff for you soon…..just not right now =(
BUT, I will have something soon =) I promise!
I don’t like to be one to complain too much, but I hate being sick (as I am sure no one would actually enjoy it). But anyways, this is the 4th day and it has gradually gotten worse and worse. I am at the point where I do not even want to get out of bed! I have not missed work and I am not looking forward to going and being all sick. But, I need money and my coworkers count on me. I love my job, but I don’t like to be there when I am sick. Well, I will hope for the best and that today goes by super fast!
Love and wishes of no one else being sick anytime soon,

Tomorrow I am getting the cute chihuahua named Lucky. I am watching him for a week as a favor to Ryan’s aunt. I don’t mind because he is adorable and he is well trained (no messes to clean in the house). The down side is that he is like a baby, he needs constant attention, so my projects get hindered. We shall see what I can accomplish. Until later…..
So here I sit sad and weary…I feel as though I am not a very productive person, even though I could be if I really wanted to. I know I could do anything I wanted to as long as I try. BUT, today I am feeling “woe is me” sad and it sucks. I feel as though I have a million things to do and not enough in which to do them all, but I know I am just fooling myself. I need to bite the bullet and just start on something and not give up until it is completely finished. For example, I was all psyched about finishing that awesome black and gray striped handbag and I did finish the crochet part of it, but I still have to put in the lining. I have all material I need, I just have’t gotten around to doing it. I think I need to first of all organize and clean my space so that I do have somewhere to work and then I need to just tackle all these half finished projects and just do them!
I have also been dying to take pictures of all my work so that I can have a visual and not just ramblings about them. I know that would make my posts more interesting…so that is one more thing to add to my list. Hopefully this week will mark my new beginning.
Lots of Love,

to Ryan! My awesome love is now 21! YaY! >3
