no, we can't cancel november anymore...

I'm engaged!!

so we can't cancel november....


longer crochet-related post to follow

can we cancel november??

This really hasn't been a great month for anyone....quick post....not much to say on the crochet front...i think i should learn to knit....there's so many cooler sweaters to make...but crocheting has it's advantages...such as if you mess up...you can't always tell that easily...and it's easier to improvise i think because everything not as tied together as knitting....maybe little jessica will teach me to knit!

hopefully i'll crochet soon again...i had insomnia sunday and monday and couldn't sleep to save my life...and i totally went to sleep at 3 am...i think i'm tired tonite though....but this could all be because my grandma died on monday :( so i'm heading home tomorrow for everything...i know your sorry, but it's part of life i think and i'm glad she didn't suffer. I feel sorry for my mommy though because she has a lot to go through now and it's just the beginning before crap....

and i was totally sick last week and it sucked...

i haven't had a good november...i'm missing my AMUN conference too where i was supposed to be on staff but couldn't because of work and this...so that's poopy...and little jessica is having a rough time with crap too...

so pray for us all if you're a praying kind of person...and if you read this....

i didn't stop crocheting...

just posting...why? because i'm a lazy girl!! and i haven't mastered typing on my laptop just yet...yes, it's like 3 months old, i just don't type on it all that much...i do my work at work and that's a regular old desktop....so i don't have to worry about it..but i must say that i do heart my laptop and am super happy with it...it's tiny but a widescreen at the same time. just perfect...even cuter part about it is that my bf has a bigger version....and if you know my bf, it's really funny...it's totally like goldie locks and the 3 bears...each is just right for each of us! haha...ok, enough about that!

i almost finished the football coaster thingy! i just have to do some finishing touches and i sew a few things together, but other than that it's done! i really did it in about a week, i have yet to take a picture of it because i'm lazy again...

and i started a new project and thought about some others...

the new project is a scarf for my bf...i'm making it the colors of the school he's at now (seems to be a theme....i made one for him last year too!) this one is black and gold inspired by harry potter stripes...so it should be pretty fun...i may even throw in some other interesting details...the pattern so far is 2 rows of singles, 2 rows of doubles. 8 rows of each color...but i think i may do some behind the post on the yellow ones....and i probably will to give it some extra flava!

i'm a dork, lay off!

i got the yarn at michael's today...it was on sale, that's what inspired it...they also had some other wool yarn on sale and i passed it up because well...i had no direct idea what i was going to do with it so i thought it would be best if i didn't...but i bought a TINY hook...a C...that's 2.75mm which is tiny in crochet land...well not the tiniest but pretty tiny...i'm going to make a cardigan out of the palette from knit picks...and i'm going to make it up as i go...wish me luck! i also bought 6, yes SIX, canvases...i decided i was in a painting mood...lol...and i'm going to paint the dog that i promised the girl at work...and i'm going to make some for christmas gifts....and they were half price....so i loaded up!

was that a good enough blog?? oh and i was a giant germ bucket all week long...sick as sick could be on wednesday, even called in sick to work! and then i also left halfway through thursday...so i have a pretty good excuse....

hopefully i'll get onto this soon!

tata!
