Baby Time :)

From the middle baby blanket was started sometime in the beginning of this month. I can't tell you how nice it is to get back into crocheting. My hobby of choice. Though I'm not really and I shall say this because I know it to be true... very good at following directions...and may be partially due to being incredibly impatient... projects like this are great cause they are simple and need much less thinking... so I can watch or listen to something while I crochet. I also can say this about my crochet and knitting ... I suck! lol... no seriously my gauge is all out of wack and I constantly make mistakes and keep going ... which is why it is difficult for me to make anything wearable other than scarves and such. I did however make ... a while back, a nice halter for dancing in... but I never really used it. I just made it and danced in it for pictures and for practicing dance routines in at home. So that said, if I can some day improve either my patience or attention span for such things I will be in a better place. So the reason for my delay and non updatingness is because I've gotten recently married ... hehe ok so it's not really a reason. I just really haven't done any crocheting or knitting since my last blog... other than another pouch to carry stuff in... but really it's been a pretty dry season for me with the craftiness. Now that baby Noorah is on her way in March ... I've a new resolution to start making at least one thing a month. This way... hopefully I'll actually make some things she can wear by the time she's born. Here I've started my first of hopefully many projects for the year 2012.

Perfect Little Purse

I'm in the process of making a purse. I finished the purse part but as usual i did something a little different but on purpose this time ;). (I have the drawstring for the purse left to make: Icord). Unfortunately I didn't realize I hadn't enough to make the bag with one skein of cream cotton. I wanted it all one color. Didn't work out that way. The yarns I used didn't quite match each other.. so thinking of dying it a color when I'm done. It's cotton so shouldn't be a problem. After all is said and done should be cute. I have to get some beads from the store for the ties. (Pattern: The New Crochet book page 51 Design by Barbara Zaretsky) Modified by me.

My late Christmas present to myself :)

Yes I made it! A hat and scarf set I'm so pleased with the results. No didn't really follow any pattern but the hat was started as the pretty puff slouch hat I found on a blog. I'm just really bad at following directions. Unless it comes to food. So anyway here it is.. the scarf was finished a few days ago but didn't have time to come on and share. I am so please also with losing so much weight this is probably one of the only pictures I have of me that I feel I look thinner in. I hadn't actually noticed too much how much weight I had lost until I viewed this picture.

I can tell how uncomfortable i was with myself.

For whatever reason I decided to make a song out of the crazy rantings of Christian Bale. When I first heard of his out of control rage against the stagehand I thought he was quite the jerk. But at the same time I laughed because wow.. that was just over the top. So I decided since my friend had some music making software that I'd whip up something that would express how I felt about it. DJ Sindepeye - Christian Bale_(sweet dysfunction mix).MP3 Just a little bit of humor.. ps.. explicit lyrics!!

Wow really cute baskets!

Ok this is so cute I had to put a post up for it. These were so adorable. I think this is definately my next project.

Yay my computer is fixed!!

I had until recently been using my friends computer to check email and update websites. And I'm excited to say my computer is now working again. I had totally given up on saving any more data stored on it in favor for a clean install. This has been great! First I'm glad cause I'm terribly unorganized on my computer. Somethings were organized but... I still lose them! So much like my mind it's uncanny. :D So now that my computer is up and running again I am no longer hogging my friend's computer. Oh yes and I just got word I get to see Nathan soooon!! I'm so happy that his injury didn't keep him away the whole summer. I have been knitting a pair of socks for myself recently... But I think I want to do something else. I feel no shame switching tasks. I know I'm not alone. :) I had wanted to make a cute hat oh sorry.. scratch that .. not cute heaven forbid. But manly.. yes yes (of course) for Nathan. I'm hoping to do some fun mom and son things the few weeks he will be with me like going to the beach or hiking. I can get a hat finished for him in between. :D
I don't know what is going on but my sock projects always seem to take the longest. Hats seem to go quickly so I've deemed them easiest. I would like to complicate myself a little and start something I've never done before.. just finding something that's not too big a project and that really appeals to me is the trick. Maybe more of these headbands are needed till I find something I really like.
