Earflap Hats

I love how the EZ Earflap Hats turned out!


This one was especially for little man :)


And then he graciously modeled the pink one I crocheted for a girl we're doing a secret santa exchange with...




I made major adjustments to the fitting of the hat... it just wasn't working. But I'm very happy with the end result!

12 days 'til Christmas!

So much yarn, so little time.

Um, yeah... so I still haven't finished all the presents!

Here's a to-do list for me in the next week :

Something for my awesome aunt, the one that owns two cute brown goats.

And I found this!:

The Gogi Goat amigurumi

For my grandmother that collects turtle figurines:

A little something cute for my co-workers:

Rupert the Owl

After all these projects are (hopefully) finished, I'll be doing as many hats and snowflakes as I can until the big day :)

Tuesday?

How is it only Tuesday?!? Shouldn't it be Friday?

It's funny... I woke up yesterday morning thinking it was next week! Hmmm... guess I have holiday on the brain. So much yarn, so little time!

Last night I made a fabulous Visor Beanie for my brother for Christmas. I love, love, love it! The pattern was *big*, so I took out the last round of increases and it turned out perfect! I made my bro's in green & cream, and I loved it so much that now I'm making one for me in blue :) Pictures to be posted soon!

The Grinch Amigurumi

Introducing.... The Grinch Who Stole Christmas!



Pattern available at Ravelry and my Etsy shop.

Crochet and Snow!

Finished the Geisha Amigurumi I was working on and have finally gotten a picture loaded. How cute! I think the recipient will love it!



I made a hooded cowl and my mom fell in love with it. She asked for it for her Christmas present... but I've already got her present done, lol. Looks like she'll be getting an extra present this year :)


Living in eastern North Carolina, we only see snow once or twice a year, so it's always a special occasion when it happens. And last night it snowed!

Here's little man balling up a snow ball, planning his attack! And I was the not-so-smart person that was wearing crocs and no socks! I guess I was caught by surprise with the snow... cold, wet feet :)

I think we got about an inch of snow last night, and today it has already melted by lunchtime.... boo!

Birthday Awesomeness

My mom made me an awesome cake! We wanted to try the diet soda cake: one box of cake mix (we used carrot cake) and a can of diet coke, topped off with lemon glaze. It was pretty awesome! Except for....

the burned parts, lol! My mother has the crazy ability to make burn takes good.... like burnt squash or burnt cornbread. Nothing better than burnt squash and cornbread, yummy! Or maybe I have built a tolerance for this "style" of cooking?

A baby picture of me and big brother :) I hate to admit this, but I was an ugly child! And for some reason, my father decided to torture me with the story of my birth.... umm, Dad, NO!

Afterwards, went to a par-tay with some awesome people. My tootsies were cold (notice the warm fuzzy socks). They were oh-so comfortable. Some guy with one too many beers kept piling up firewood to ridiculous heights (please note the small, little firepit and the giant pile of WOOD!). Good times :)

The goat that joined us for Thanksgiving. My Aunt adopted two of these cute little creatures and we had a blast feeding them.
