I'm posting right now for two reasons:
- I have to make the first post sometime, don't I?
- I'm procrastinating. This is my method of "accomplishing" something else while avoiding a final paper for my Second Language Acquisition class.
As this is my craft blag (you'll have to endure the term "blag" on this blog because of this comic), first I'll provide you with an update on the myriad projects I have going this Holiday season.
Most of my current projects are crochet. --Actually all of the current ones are, I believe. I learned to crochet this summer from YouTube videos because my fiancé (oh yes, I'm getting married in May '09) was interning in New Mexico and I had a lot of down time. I think the creativity saved me from missing him too much. In fact, the day he left, my friend Brittany drug a mopey me out of the house to paint pottery. The result was this delightful pizza plate:
Making things is therapeutic. Anyway, I learned to crochet while he was gone, and even though I'm a rookie at this crochet stuff, I'm already hopelessly addicted. Current projects include (I like lists):
- The ever-present hexagon blanket project. 11 hexes down, 59 to go. I've reconciled myself to the fact that I'll be working on this still when I have grandchildren.
- A present for my friends Marvin and Amy, who just had a beautiful little girl. I should be finishing this soon (shhh, it's a secret, I'll post pictures after I give it to them).
- Christmas presents. Too many to enumerate, so I'll just post pictures when I finish.
I'm hoping to start making a robot tree topper for our Christmas tree tomorrow or Tuesday, so I'll be sure to update about how that goes.
That's all for now.
