Been busy learning to crochet & painting of course

So I started learning how to knit and for the life of me I could never figure out how to make a hat which is what I wanted to do-- so than I decieded I'd learn to crochet instead cuz' it looked like you could crochet a hat easier.
So that's what I did learned the stitches and than went online to wonderhowto.com (which I love and is freakin awesome:) and learned the basics of a hat and Sunday I started and it was tons of fun-- I love the fact that everything is pretty general and you can add much custom/creativeness as you want to things. I enjoyed it so much that I made a baby hat and ya I don't have a baby :) I used my old jerry jenson doll to be a model for me-- I've had this doll since I was Brynley's age and now it's hers- kinda fun.

Also I finally painted the Mnt. Dew green basement of ours :) A nice tan aka Millet It is much easier on the eyes and nerves but I can't believe that a small part of me misses the crazy green- crazy. I'll take pictures soon but as for now I gotta get my Payter to school
Made myself a new background-- love this quote-

  2. A comment for the lovely blogger(0: I totally dig Thoreau. He's one of my top ten author/philosophers. If you haven't read much, try "Walden" sometime. Way awesome(0: Anywho, you did the quote and image beautifully, and I can't believe you figured out how to alter that hat design to suite you better. Tres cool!

  3. I LOVE the hats. I've been checking out little hats like these since Ivy was tiny- my mom made her some when she was little but I'm getting tempted to put in orders for bigger sizes! You've inspired me to learn to crochet!
