A New Project while Sick

Since I've been sick and staying bundled up on the couch like a couch potato I decided I'd finally break out the crochet hooks and learn how to crochet. So.. I made myself some wrist warmers:

My kids liked them so much that they have all three requested some. While I was making these my oldest Princess wanted to learn how to crochet, too...so...

I got her set finished yesterday and have two more sets to make for each of the the Princesses. She's so happy about learning to make a chain that she even practiced this morning after getting ready for school:

Coat, backpack, and even her new wrist warmers I made her...

"When I grow up I'm going to go to Walmart and buy alot of yarn and crochet stuff!" 

We are all starting to feel better around our house thankfully! Hoping to get caught up on everything that got neglected while sick and get to work on some sewing stuff and finish up the other 2 sets of wrist warmers for my kiddos.

Away on holiday

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I know my family and I have! I'm still out of state and in the boonies so I actually have no Internet access. Occasionally my iPhone will work but most of the time I'm searching for signal or have 1 bar. It's amazing how not having Internet has made me feel so secluded and shut off from the rest of the world! I use the net to communicate with pretty much everyone. Looks like I'll be away for a few more days. I can't wait to get back home where I'm in the comfort of my own wondermus bed and snuggling with my 2 month old kittens who are probably wondering where everyone has gone.

My mother in law and I went to the fabric shop today and I loaded up on some fabric! Found some to make as curtains for our livingroom and then some others for a quilt. I also found some at walmart that was precut and some funky designs! I also picked up a pattern for a purse that I can't wait to make!

I grew up watching my mom craft and sew and I said I was never going to do that myself. Within the last 8 months I have bought my very own sewing machine and I have also indulged and become obsessed with fabric. Today I have committed myself even more...I actually bought three crochet needles and two scanes of yarn. I have so many ideas!! Lol I keep saying I cannot believe I bought that and I am so turning into my mother. Lol I have finally come to the conclusion that neither is a bad thing. Lol

Anyways...I hope to post pics of my finds when I'm back home and have access to a pc and Internet. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and I hope everyone had a happy and safe new years!
