Baby Blanket!

I am almost finished with a new baby blanket I'm crocheting for a pair of friends! I can't wait 'til it's finished and I can gift them with it!! ^_^ It's going to be very similar to Sydnie's baby blanket (see "Other crafty things I've made") except instead of yellow and white it's pink and white since she knows she's having a girl. :) Also, I can't wait to finish it because that means I can get back to knitting my spring/summer scarf!! XD LOL! I can't wait to take it apart and re-start it! Well, I guess that's about it for today! Have a wonderful weekend, all!

YARN!!

So, I have found a new way to buy yarn, and those of you who know me will smack your forehead because I didn't think of this earlier... Internet. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the internet. DUH!! XD I should've been shopping online months ago! I found the alpaca I like to use on sale on JoAnn's website, so I bought enough to make two more Leah scarves, as well as finishing one up for my boss! I am working through a little project I'm crocheting right now, and then I'll get back to my boss's Leah scarf, as well as a new idea I started for a spring scarf. I'm so excited to get to it! I'm going to try cable knitting for the first time on the spring scarf.. I hope it works! And if all else fails, I can always take the stitches out and start over! :D That's the best thing about knitting, if you mess up, you can always take it out and do it again! ^_^
On that note, I was wearing my heather grey scarf at work the other day and it got snagged on some supplies! :( Fortunately, there wasn't TOO much damage, and I ended up cutting the pulled stitch in two, tying it together, and threading the ends back into the scarf.. Now it just has more personality! :D I've been thinking about weaving in some bright colors for spring into it... We'll see!
Oh yeah, and my mom got me this really awesome book called "Celebrity Scarves", it's so neat! It's about celebrities and the scarves they have knitted themselves, and it talks about how relaxing knitting is. I can't wait to read more of it! Thanks Mom! :D

Soft Pink and Cream

I finished my "Leah" scarf I've been working on just last night, and wore it to work today. When I showed it to my coworkers, one of them liked it so much she asked if I was selling it! :) So no more than 12 hours finished and it was already on it's way to a new loving owner! ^_^ I also got a request from my boss for a Leah scarf in denim, like the original! Haha! I don't know if I'll EVER get any scarves in stock since everyone keeps buying them! :D That's a problem I don't mind at all!
(Pictures coming soon of the pink Leah scarf!)

New Post! Hurrah!

Well! It's been a while since I've posted anything, I've been so busy! I've been working on a "Leah" style scarf, except instead of denim blue, I'm using a soft pink color. It looks great so far! It's my first of many to come to get some in stock for next winter! I'm crossing my fingers that I'll be able to get a bunch made before October this year, and open my Etsy shop! ^_^ SUPER EXCITED!! I also have gotten a bunch of t-shirts to make more nifty t-shirt scarves! Keep in mind, the t-shirt scarves are more of a fashion statement than to keep you warm. If you want to keep warm, you need one of my hand knitted scarves!! ;)

Check them out!! To the right! To the right!! ^.^

Today's Bloggy Blog

Just finished a child's scarf today for my classmate's son; plain black but a little bigger than the Sydnie scarf, and without the fringe, since it's for a little boy. :) Happy and excited to give it to her tonight! I've also sold a few more anime selections, thanks to all!! I raised quite a bit of money for my friend KK who was burglarized a while back, so I'm super happy about that! ^_^ It's still going on until I sell ALL my movies, so come one, come all, and buy them! :P They're all in mint condition and super freakin' cheap! :D
(Oh yeah, pics to be coming soon on my scarf page of the newest addition, the boys scarf.. Although it's modeled by Sydnie.) :P
Hoorah!

Okay guys, keep it comin'! Buy some movies!!! They're SUPER cheap!! And you know you want some!! ;) Btw, I forgot to mention, but I have an acqaintance (OMG, I know!!) who has dedicated her life to helping others, but was robbed recently. Her life has been turned upside down and she has lost all of her belongings. If you have ever been robbed, burglarized, or even had a virus on your computer, you know how it feels for your personal "space" to be violated. I hate it! I despise those who find pleasure in others' pain!

Saturday, oh Saturday.

I feel like today wasn't even a Saturday. I spent the day at Dave Ramsey Live with my dad, and as soon as I got home, we had dinner, I gave Syd a bath, and then she and I watched Lady and The Tramp and now she's asleep and I'm about to do the same. It was a whirlwind kind of a day. *sigh* Well, Dave Ramsey is a great speaker, and I really learned a lot from it! I can't wait to get started on the baby steps of the Total Money Makeover!! :D After I get my tax return, I'll have baby step one and two knocked out of the way at the same time! I'll be debt free! Yippee! Well, not like it's a huge feat for me or anything right now, since all I have to pay off is my car. But still! No debt! Yay! I just have to keep reminding myself it's not a quick-fix thing, it's a long-term goal. My first goal is to complete the first three baby steps by this summer! Yeah! It's exciting to think about! Anyway, that's about all I've got for right now. :P Huzzah!

Thanks, Dave Ramsey! I can't wait to be debt free and on my way to wealth!

Went to Katy to meet Sylvia and her fam and friends for dinner and margaritas. :) Then went to her fam's house to chill, and played the keyboard with her daughter for most of the evening.

Using my blog

Oh yeah, if you're curious, click all over the box of fish at the bottom and you can feed them. It's silly, but highly entertaining to me, so kiss my butt! Also, to play the Tetris game, use the arrow keys (duh) and 'X' to contorl the blocks. 'Q' is quit, and 'H' is pause. Enjoy!

Hooray! I have a blog again!

This is my first blog in years! Hooray! Now it's time for bed! Rest! Zzzzzzzz!
