Adminstrative Professionals Day

That was yesterday. I got flowers and the guys cooked here at the office. Fried fish, french fries, hush puppies, onions, and white beans and rice. All awesome! This weekend is filled with out of town plans for a soccer tournament which will start tomorrow for us.

Have a great weekend!

New Baby Blanket

Here's a few skeins of the yarn I got from Hancock's on sale:

At first I wasn't sure how they would blend together. But, now, I'm loving these colors!

I planned on using these for a baby blanket for Nicole's baby. I've already started it, it's crocheted. This is the begining of it. I have alot more on this done now than when this picture was taken:

I'm using a "Speed Hook" crochet hook and just like the name of the hook, it's fast! This will be completed in no time. This is my first crochet project and I'm amazed at how easy it is. Knitting is not this fast. I highly recommend for any first time crochet-er, use this needle, it makes learning and understanding fun. Here's a close up:

The pattern is from the Lion Brand Yarn website. They have lots of free patterns. You'll have to sign up but worth if for all the free patterns. You can also search by hook size for patterns. For example, I typed in "speed hook patterns" and every pattern that uses the speed hook came up. Lots of quick and easy crocheting!

Waiting....

"my granny and paw paw are outside, i wonder if they have any treats on them?"

Hog Wild

So, what do you do when the ONLY craft/fabric place in town, that has been around for ages, is going out of business and has everything 30-60% off?

Buy a buttload of yarn, of course:

And I already know what I'm doing with all of it!

My excuse

OH. MY. GOD. I can't believe I've waited 2 months, 2 MONTHS! to post again! I mean look at all that outdated stuff. Christmas pics on flicker, old heading. What a bad blogger. But, I have an excuse:

My reminder card*! I found it stuck at the bottom of my desk drawer! If I don't have something reminding everyday to do something then it just slips my mind. You'll except that, right? And in the meantime, serious thoughts on seriously re-vamping this page. SERIOUSLY.
