Knitting tips

I was looking for some knitting tips at YouTube and this is what I found. So funny!

Currently Working on this ...

Look what I bought today. I've already started on it too. I've got 3/4 in done of the ribbing on the bottom. I'm so excited. I think this will be really sweet and super cute. Although I should keep this hush hush; it is a surprise for someone special. I have never done one of these before, but I heard you can get hooked on them ;)

What kind of homemade projects are in the making out there for Christmas presents? I'm always on the look out for something quick, easy and gets a big bang.

Simple but getting it done...

I'm now working on the 2nd installment to the set of albums to be released to my mother.
This is just an example of what this album will be like, multiple photos and simple. This album will be all about us as kids. Even though it's simple, I think I'm doing them justice.

I love looking back at old photos. It's great to see how we were as little kids. I love it how my brother has the same smile now as he did then, so sweet. Although I don't wear pigtails any more, I still catch myself standing like that. This is why I don't mind scrapping; I want to preserve the memories.

Random...

Wish I could get to sleep earlier. Don't know what my problem is.

I wanna go to an island resort and just veg.

I want the magic of Jeanie & Samantha all at once, 24/7!

Glad I got the bottom half of the house decent this weekend. My honey did a great job at helping me. He's a sweetie.

It snowed! I've been keeping track every year since I've lived here, not the earliest and not the latest its arrived. Life goes on... now the darkness is approaching.

Sweet tea is sanity.

Here's the love of my life:

Finished with first installment to Heritage Album...

I'm so happy. This past weekend I finished the first installment of albums I'm making for my mother. I think by the time I have them all done I will have:
- one with all her pictures from her birth to adulthood.
- 2nd with all her children's pictures from birth to adulthood.
- 3rd one with all our school photo's k-12.
- 4th one family gatherings and friends.
- 5th, grandchildren

This album has taken me a year to finish. I hope to do the 2nd one much faster. When she gets it, she has homework, because these are her memories, I've left space for her to journal. I hope I inherit most of these books I'm making, not anytime soon of course, but in due time :)

Ingrid Michaelson on Carson Daly - "The Way I Am"

This soothes my soul.



Have a good Friday!
