Fabulous Fo's

Well, I finished a couple Fo's since my last posting, so I thought I might share them with you!!   First off, I finished this crocheted clutch.  I saw the pattern somewhere on Ravelry.  Here's the link to my projects if you are interested in trying it out.  It was really fun, and a great way to use up some leftover yarn!

I crocheted this star dishcloth out of this yarn and it was a gift (Easter) for my sister who's in college! 
I knitted this Ribbed Laced Bolero for myself, and It actually turned out really well!!  The color goes with just about everything and it's fun to show off :D! (Like most things!) 

Finally, I made this dishcloth as a mothers day present while I was sick.  My mom loved it!! She said "It was too pretty to use." She agreed to use it as a hot pad :).  It's just some repeating little bears!!  
I also got a new camera for my birthday, finally!!!!  It has 12.1 mega pixels and is really good at focusing on detail.  It's this camera in the pretty blue color from Canon.

I am excited that school is almost over, I am soooo in the need for a break!! My teachers just pile on the homework and projects!!! My sister came home from college for the weekend, which was exciting, but she spent most of her time studying for finals.

My 411

Sorry about such a long wait!! I have been busy knitting up a storm!!!! Well to start off for Thanksgiving was fun!!! I made some of these hairclips (sorry no picture) I helped set the table!!

We also got snow!!! (A couple days after thanksgiving)

I managed to knit 2 pairs of mittens, sew some headbands and finish my pj pants!!!


Here is one of the mittens I finished!! It is just a very simple stockinnet stitch mitten. I made one pair for myself and the other one for my big sister.

This baby bib I made for my teacher whose wife was expecting a baby. They really liked it and sent me a thank you card!!!

This crochet flower neclace took me like 10 minuets to make. It was super simple and easy to make!! I really like the way it turned out and will definaltly be making more in the near future. On the other hand it rained here. Hard. Our street and backyard flooded so bad that we couldn't even drive anywhere let alone walk. So I was stuck inside. All day. A full 24 hours. It was horrible. I was about ready to pluck my eyes out just because it was something to do. I had to go to the yarn store to get some yarn for my next project and we had apsolutely no food in the house!!! I mostly watched T.V. yesturday and played on the computer. Our power kept flickering on and off though so someimes my activities were interupted because my computer had to restart. That's is about it. It has been pretty borring around here so nothing spectacular to anounce to you guys...

Washington D.C.!!!!

You won't believe me but I just won a large Vera Bradley duffel bag!!! I entered in a raffle and won!! I am so happy!! I really like the pattern/color of it too!! here's a picture of it...



My basketball team also won yesterday. I managed to score 2 baskets!!! I am very proud of myself. I was in 3 of the 4 quarters for the first time!
Halloween was fun. I got a medium amount of candy. My friends and I went trick-or-treating for about 3 hours. I didn't have a blast though because one of my "friends" kept whining and say things like "don't run" or "don't walk so fast" and "I don't eat junk food, I am giving away all of my candy". She had to say that right when I was eating a kit-kat. I will not be trick or treating with her again. She just sucks the life out of what ever room she walks into. For the entire time that I have known her I've never seen her smile. She is never happy.
On the bright side I finished sewing my first skirt ever!! (picture coming soon)
I am going on a field trip to Washington D.C. tomorrow. I have to be on the bus to the airport at 3:15 am. I am very excited. I of course packed some knitting and crocheting to do on the bus and airplane. I was not able to post very many pictures today because I packed my camera. We are staying at some nice hotel for 2 nights and we are required to use carry on. That is not hard for me because I am only packing the bare necessities.
I also managed to sew (and finish) my halloween costume. I was an angle. I thought it turned out to be really good,(again picture coming soon.)
That is all for now. I will hopfully be posting again on sunday!!

See ya!

I'm Back!!!!

I went to Canada to see my grandparents and cousins. I had a lot of fun and met some of my new cousins. The trip was fun but it was a 20 hour drive their and 18 drive back!!!! My dad does not like to fly so we have to drive to our designated vacation spot. We split the driving into two days. about 10 hours each day. I mostly crocheted and slept during the car ride ( My dad made us leave and 6 in the morning!) While Sitting in the car I made an Ipod cozie and a bunch of Heart Squares that I will soon sew together and make a baby blanket. Unfortunently I can not find my camera so I will show you them later.

I purchased the book Stitch'n Bitch Crochet The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stroller!!!! I love this book!! It is very well written and is detailled on it's directions. It also had great pictures and drawings. This book is great for begginers and professionals.

I am making a purse out of this book. It is called Fat-bottom bag. It has a rounded rectangle shape to in and has hoops for handles. I love it am about halfway through it on the 3rd day!!! The yarn I am using is Sugar and Cream Confectionary colors, in Pistachio. The yarn is made of 100% cotton. I really like the color and the handle bars are a tan color and they are made out of wood.

I'll keep ya posted!!!
