Mohawk Hat


I made a mohawk hat for a relative of mine. I might start making a few more to sell at the Kentucky Market Pavillion and maybe Etsy. But I'm pleased with the way it turned out. This is my dad modelling it.

That kitty needs some limbs!

That hat needs a tail!

That scarf needs ... more scarf.

Two new hats and a pair of slippers




This blue and pink hat is made from yarn from Ginger's left over stash. It works with either side out.






A cuddly oatmeal hat made from Michael's Christmas stash yarn.


 



And a nice pair of ruby(ish) slippers. Also made from the same kind of yarn the oatmeal hat was made from. I like it a lot... it is super cuddly. Let's see it is Loops 'n' Threads' Country Loom.

Yarn Galore


I got a 25 dollar gift card to Michael's and the day after Christmas they had big yarn sales. So guess where I was. Some of this yarn I got as presents but I bought a lot of it all for $25! Mitzy is enjoying my yarn with me.

New Year's List

Last year I did not make a New Year's List of Goals. I suppose technically I had a resolution, it was an adjective. Awesome. I just wanted to make the year awesome, be awesome, do awesome, etc. That worked out really well for the beginning part of the year then I think I forgot that was a goal, I also had a few rough spots. But I graduated from college in 2011 and that is pretty awesome. I made some awesome things. I wish I had just kept in mind my adjective more. So this year I resolve to do that for my new adjectives. Yeah, that's right two adjectives this time.
Classy 
Independent
I don't really want to go to much into depth with what that means to me. But I will say classy doesn't mean anything material, it does mean attitude. I want to try to make myself believe I am a classy person.
I also want to make myself believe I am independent. This doesn't mean I need to be alone all the time. But I want to be more comfortable with myself and being alone with myself. I think being alone however doesn't really include me sitting in front of my computer. So those are my personal adjectives that I want to internalize.
I also have a list of things I want to spend time doing.

  • I would like to spend time meditating or doing yoga as a way to develop self-knowledge and become comfortable with me. 
  • I want to dumpster dive more. Or in general be more resourceful.
  • I want to do more with my days
  • I want to make more friends.
I think that about covers it. I mean I have other like project goals, finish issue one of the IPH, sell something on etsy, sell paintings, blah blah, but those aren't my New Year's goals. 

I'd love to hear what your goals are.

Videos of my animals

For your enjoyment here's a video of a little dog that was given to my family. She is the absolute sweetest pup. She is finicky though, she doesn't like getting her feet wet or cold. So we got her boots. She also loves to wear sweaters and sit directly in front of the heater. Like on top of it.

She loved Reece so much and he was so scared of her. Their relationship was adorable. In this video he has to scratch but it scared to move his leg and then when he finally does she gets a little smashed.
