2014 Wrap up

I know I have been lax in sharing snaps and stories of the family lately. I haven’t even been sharing WiPs lately. I will get back to all that.

I have been working on find some organization in my life. I finally have found a way that works for me to keep on top of this crazy little blog. Slowly but surely I have been working towards that end. Somehow, the personal posts seemed to have gotten lost in the shuffle. Just as I was realizing how long it had been, this happened.

If I am recieving an award for best personal life posts on a crochet blog, maybe I should be sure to keep posting them, right? Not to mention my family may be a bit upset with me if I don’t share some stories of the twins, like, now.

So let me just tell you that a schedule is happening, and updates to the blog are happening as well. I would love for it all to be complete by the end of February. For now, the schedule is:

Monday: Crochet or Knit ALong (CAL, KAL)
Tuesday: alternating between a free knit pattern and a Stitchopedia post
Wednesday: evening round up
Thursday: free crochet pattern
Friday or Saturday (or Sunday…): one or two posts about the family and/or WiPs and such
Sunday: evening link blast

I reserve the right to lose my mind and change it all.

For now, here are nearly 40 photos of the last 6 or so weeks of 2014, and a little bit of text to tell you what they are all about.

Sometime Kyla needs to dress up.

Wonder Kyla

I know I told you a little about our Thanksgiving trip in my last family post, but here are a few pictures I missed sharing. I taught the girls to crochet while we were there. They just learned the chain st, but they had fun with it.

Last Minute Crochet Gifts

Wednesday Round Up 12/10/2014 ~ Last Minute Gifts

Last Minute Crochet Gifts

Around this time of year I hit panic. I KNOW I forgot someone. I always do. No matter how much I try, how much I organize, how much I love them, I always forget someone. Or, I just get so busy I suddenly realize there is not enough time to get to everyone! So, just in case I am not alone in this malfunction, I have collected some patterns that can be used to make some fabulous last minute gifts.

Here are the names and links of each pattern, along with a little something that each designer has to say about them.

Building Houses

The girls and I spent Saturday morning with the Girl Scout troop making gingerbread houses.

Lots-of-construction

First they got to make little turkey cookies. Here is Kyla thinking hard about the perfect placement for the candy corn feathers. I would love to show you the finished cookies, but they seem to have been devoured by hungry little carnivores.

Holidays 2013

Well hello there! Did you have a nice Holiday Season? We did. OK, we had a bit of the plague, but other then that it was lovely. The weekend before Christmas the girls went to my in~laws. Vada was a bit sick when she got home, but I just thought it was from over~eating or eating things she normally doesn’t have at home, as that happens to her every once and a while when she come back from the in~laws. … Read more

Thanksgiving Weekend 2013

Well hello my friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Time to get ready for more holidays. They just never stop this time of year!! There was some sort of Tricky~Tray at one of Doug’s jobs, and he tossed a ticket in a cup for something for me. Look what he won for me! It’s actually a nice little book. The projects are really cute. The best part is the pictures: Now there is a girl who … Read more

Plague!

Sorry I have been a bit scarce as of late. We have been dealing with a wee bought of the plague. OK, maybe not the plague, but the girls and I have been sharing a cough and a stomach bug. I spent most of the end of last week wondering when the world was going to stop spinning. You can imagine that made it a bit tough to look at a computer screen. Hence the scarceness. Thankfully we were all on the mend … Read more

February Break

I’ve never understood why some school !have February breaks. It’s too cold to go out, and it means that spring break has to be moved later so it doesn’t coincide with Easter. Plus it makes the school year end even later. Oh well, we have it, so we will make the best of it! The girls had quite a crazy day on Thursday. They came home with so much candy, and we still had left overs from Christmas! Then in the evening … Read more

Heart Coasters or Appliques

This is a quick and simple crochet heart that has many uses. I like to sew them onto a piece of felt to make coasters.
