I know...It's been a while

I know it's been a while since my last post. I guess I've been a bit lazy when it comes to posting. Anyway, I don't have pictures of everything I have been working on but here is what I do have.

Here is the spread for the second annual christmas cookie bake off that Deborah and I do to give as christmas gifts to co-workers and friends. This year we didn't make snickerdoodles. We only made chocolate chip, chocolate chunk and oatmeal raisin. I told Deborah I wanted to make extra oatmeal raisin because I had more to give out this year. She hesitantly agreed. The cookies were a hit as usual and after we gave all the cookies out, Deborah said next year we need to make more because she had more people to give to then she originally thought. See...I told you! :o)






Here is the cover page of my 2007 scrapbook album, I completed on Staturday. It's simple, but appropriate. I was love struck in 2007 so this page sums up my year.


This is the second watch cap I've done. On this one though I made it shorter so it wouldn't have the fold up flap. I used a cotton yarn on this one.







I cast on for my fifth hat last night. Im knitting the Headline News Cabled Newsboy Cap that Deborah is also knitting. She will be done way before me though. This will be my first time learning how to do cables. We will see how it goes. Looking forward to learning something new!

New Year, New Beginning

I guess I could say 2007 was a good year for me. One of the main reasons I say this is because I found love and happiness in 2007. I’ am looking forward to 2008 bringing continued love and happiness but also bringing success and accomplishment of my goals. I hope to be more focused and determined in realizing my goals this year. Focusing on my health and well-being, my finances and my creative outlets.


This holiday season was pretty quiet for me and I was fine with that. It gave me more time for myself. I was able to knit three hats so far. Two for my two nieces and one for one of my nephews. I have two more hats to knit for my other two nephews. Since I have already posted the pics for my neices hats here is the pic of the hat for my nephew. Unfortunately, I totally forgot to take pictures of the kids in the hats…duh! I was so upset when I realized. Anyway, the hats do fit so that’s good.





New Year's Eve this year was also quiet. I did get one spread done though and here it is. My youngest niece Mia as Tinker Bell. This was her Halloween costume this year that she decided to model for me during her sister Alicia’s birthday party.










Wishing you all happiness, success, and accomplishment of all your goals for 2008!
