HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy new year!!  We did even less than last year!  My hubs was working, so I rang in the new year crocheting a cupcake and watching "Lockup Raw" (a prison reality series) and honestly I didn't feel like I missed out on a thing not partying the night away.

I have been reflecting as most do on the past year.. the good, the bad, and the ugly.. the year was truly a blessing whether we were up or down and God brought us thru it all.. happy, healthy, and better people for it. I had quite a creative year - lots of things made and new things tried.. some stuck and some didn't.. Here's a slideshow of my completed projects from 2010:

I want to note a few things didn't get photographed because either I was in a rush or didn't feel like getting out the camera, but this is a good snapshot of my creativity for the year..

I also have made 2 things already this year - one of which I rang in the new year making:

A little lopsided, but not a bad first attempt I think :-)  I also have been seeing cowl scarf patterns on ravelry and decided to try to make one myself.. I would call it my own, uh, pattern.. but it's merely a bunch treble stitches and then I sewed the ends together:

I made this with some great yarn I scored at Michael's for $1.99 - called "Country Loom" by Loops & Threads.  I need to go back and get more!! It's VERY soft and fluffy.  

Well, we have soccer practice today as the weather has been continually cancelling the last 3 practices.. Then I predict I will be enjoying some crochet and finding something to watch on tv :-)  

Until next time, Much love and God bless!!
