well forget that..

Well my intention to post everyday in November has died, ha. Life gets the best of us I suppose.

I won't be able to post some of my completed projects until after Christmas since ya know...they're gifts...and gifts are surprises! There will be a massive post after Christmas though. Maybe even some teasers before.

School is wrapping up. I really only have one more project before finals, and only one of those is cumulative. It might as well be Christmas break :)

Time to clean up from dinner and the project I worked on tonight.

So much to make for Christmas. I don't even know where to start!

yay for Christmas knitting!

new beginnings

New project will be coming soon. I have a custom order for a Christmas gift and I'll be making up the pattern as I go! Here's hoping it doesn't drive me nuts, haha.

buttons buttons buttons..

I've been eyeing this tutorial for a week or so and I finally had some free time to work on it. It's very cute and I think it'd be fun to cover my little Christmas tree in them :)

novembers are stressful. not sure how much crafting i'll get done this week, but i hope to get some knitting out of the way.

schoolwork schoolwork!

so much to do..

I finally finished MeMaw's hat while I was visiting her at the hospital yesterday. It turned out much better than I was expecting. When she woke up I gave it to her and she loved it. It fit right over her bandage. i did have to take the ribbon off after a few minutes because it was putting too much pressure on her bandages and staples. Once all the swelling goes down and the bandages come off it can go back on. It looks great on her and the edge cuts the glare of all the hospital lights for her. Her eyes have been bothering her for a while now and bright lights are too much.


All in all it turned out perfect! It fits perfectly. The color looks fabulous on her. It's soft. It makes her eyes more comfortable. Awesome :)

I have another long day ahead of me. David is going to go to the hospital with me again today to see MeMaw and hopefully catch my cousin and her 3 kiddos there too. Actually my whole family on my mom's side should be there. My mom, her sister and 2 brothers, cousin, her kids, me and my sister. It's like Christmas and our gift is a healthy MeMaw!

After the hospital David and I have an engagement dinner to go to. So excited to see Steph and Bo and spend some time with them.

Oh AND the low tonight is like 33. yay!

hat is done and MeMaw loves it!

pictures tomorrow :)

mr bear goes purple

made another mr bear this afternoon. i needed something to make the time go faster while i waited for my mom to call me with the results on MeMaw's surgery. She finally called and everything went well! She will most likely be in ICU until tomorrow sometime then she can have her own room.

I want to thank everyone who has been praying for her. God definitely heard yall and was with her every second.

Ok now back to mr bear. This one is for David's mom to have at work. When I gave her the diaper bag she ordered with the pink bear she didn't want to give it away. I figure everyone could use a cute little bear to cheer them up on gloomy days!
Instead of embroidering a heart like on foxxy, I thought a small heart applique would be cute...and much easier! I love the look.
I might be going crazy with these stuffies :-P

I'm nearly done with MeMaw's hat. I had her try it on last night and it looks great and she loves it! My mom has some cream colored satin ribbon that looks great with it too. Hoping to finish this tonight, and if not then tomorrow while I'm at the hospital visiting.

dun du-na-na!
