Ho Hum La De Dum...

Not a whole lot has been going on here. Just been sitting wishing and hoping...

I did do some crafts with Lily & I think they came out beautiful...

Lily's is on the right, I think she really did a good job!

I've been going through the process of learning to knit. For me it's very intimidating. I actually tried a "magic loop"...

Yeah it looks good lying down, but it had what's called "ladders", or big ASS holes in it where the stitches were separated... I do not like this method, and I did give it a very good go. So I attempted DPN's... thhose are INTIMIDATING! But, they work oh so well!!

So we shall see once this is an FO.

Mind you I don't sit and knit all day lol... I crochet too, clean, do the mommy/housewife thing... but I am also a property manager & live onsite.

I have so mannnnnny ideas/projects running through my head, think I'll have to make a list to get it all done :)

That's my ramblings for today...

Why blog?

I have been asking myself this question.... Why blog?

My answer? I am so forgetful, I want a place to keep track of my life, experiences, things I've been doing with the kiddos... and really? I'm doing it for me...

If you'd like to know what I've been up to, well... crocheting, knitting, and reading.

Lily's bag on the left is just about finished. All I have now is to add the handles. I absolutely love this bag, I just really hope she doesn't ruin it :) The flower in front is a pot holder I just can't seem to make myself finish... I really dislike not finishing things, but I am the queen of starting new things before others are finished... you too?

Ohhh yes, knitting, thanks for asking...

This washcloth is the very first COMPLETED knitting project I've completed. I absolutely love the colors. This is knitted on sized 7 cirular needles, with Lily Sugar and Cream cotton yarn.

Now, your supposed to 'block" things, that makes them perfectly straight & square... bu this is my cloth, and I don't feel the need to waste time blocking it when I want to use it straight away ha ha ha.

I finished my crochet shrug too, it's made from Serenity silk yarn

I also have read two books recently... can you believe I've managed to read books??? I read "Trace the Dead Eye" ( that receieves one thumb up) and "Blood Island". BI gets 2 total thumbs up! LOVE this book.

Blood Island

Crafting

I am a huge fan of crafting now. As I've gotten older I find that creating things makes me happy. I love to crochet... That's my #1 thing. I am of course going to add individual bloggies of my crocheted stuff. I guess I will even add in my "frogged" things, things that just didn't quite make the cut. I have a place that I go called Ravelry . I absolutely love it, and of course there are more sites, but for now this is my fav.

I want to learn to knit too... My SIL Lisa is AWESOME at it. She's going to teach me , but I am so nervous to try. I'm quite sheepish about it lol! Well anyway Lisa is awesome!!!

Guess that's all for now. I wanted to at least start my blog :) Hope I get some followers, hope I find some awesome crafty blogs to follow!

Later gators!
