New Year's Eve...

I have to admit,some things in 2012 weren't the best,but we did have some good times. For example,we did have a white Christmas,which hasn't happened in awhile. Not only that,but we still have that snow,and more!  =)  I wonder if I'll be more organized,when it comes to the yarn stash this coming year...yeah right!!  =)  Anyway,I would like to wish you all a happy and safe New Year!

Night Before,the Night Before

Here is another little update,written in December 23rd,2012. The majority of the leftover decorations are up,my bedroom is decorated half-way,all the cookies have been baked (except for the candy,which was cancelled),the house is somewhat clean,I have a bag of bows for gift decorating,5 out of 6 of my gifts have been crocheted,my dad and I went around town tonight looking at Christmas lights,and we had pizza for dinner. Well,okay,the last one doesn't really count. The pizza was good,though! Anyway,as I said I have one gift left. It's for my dad,and I'm hoping he will like it!  =) Well,I guess that's it,for now.

Bye!

I Blame...

Carol Duvall. Yes,Carol Duvall. You see,I got an idea from this vhs tape. http://www.amazon.com/Carol-Duvalls-Holiday-Crafts/dp/B0006GRITY/ref=sr_1_4?s=movies-tv&ie=UTF8&qid=1356042317&sr=1-4&keywords=carol+duvall
I got this tape from the Salvation Army for 29 cents,and my mom and I decided to watch it. One project in particular caught our eyes. It was a project on how to make ornaments from Styrofoam and fabric. Without giving away the whole tutorial,you basically stab fabric into the Styrofoam ball,all the way around. This got me thinking. I was wondering if you could take this tutorial,and make a Christmas tree? So,I went to AcMoore and Walmart,and I got a Styrofoam cone,half a yard of green fabric,and a wire stem silver star. I got to work,and the entire process took about four days,off and on. My mom glued on the circle of felt onto the base of the tree,and it was done. Here it is!

I also made a crochet chain garland for it. Overall,I enjoyed to process,except for one little detail. This was very messy! I ended up with fabric bits and Styrofoam all over my lap every time I worked on this! It was fun,though.  =) Now here is a little update. Some of the cookies have been baked,the temperature is getting closer to the coldness of snow,and I still have three gifts to crochet by Christmas. Oh,and I still have yet to decorate my bedroom. Not too much to do,right?  =) Here are the links for everything.

See ya!

Wow!

I can't believe how close we are to Christmas! The majority of the Christmas decorations are up,and the outside of the house is all lit up. My mom thinks the outdoor decorations make the house look like something out of the fifties. As for gifts,I have managed to finish crocheting a frog for my mom,a Christmas wreath for my Grandpa,and a little ornament with a smiley face on it for my cousin Kate. I say managed,because I haven't felt very good for the past three days. I can't figure out if it's just my allergies going haywire,or if it's a cold of some sort. Who knows? Anyway,I'll just leave you with a short,parting message. I think I need a nap.
Bye!

December Birthday

Today is my Birthday! =) Sorry,I had to do it. Anyway,I turned 19 years old today. One of my aunts says I'm 8 years old.  =)  I just finished doing a little shopping around town with my dad. I got three scarves from the Dollar Tree,a couple books,two Sailor Moon vhs tapes,and a crochet blanket kit at Salvation Army,and a couple of magazines at Barnes and Noble! I guess you can tell I had a good time. I had pizza for dinner,and I'm going to have ice cream cake for dessert. Well,I guess that's it for now. Here are the links for the stores we went to,and the Sailor Moon tapes.
