With the hustle and bustle of the upcoming holiday season blogging has been on the back burner….well actually a lot has been going on not just the holidays….but that’s a whole other blog post my friends. But I am happy to say that my tree is up…my shopping list is now very short, all the presents are wrapped and I am doing baking this week! So I am on track. And nearly everyone in my family is getting something crocheted for the holidays! I am baddddddd………I know one of my presents I am getting for Christmas! I got a set of clover hooks (I am super pumped…..I only have a 4 hook and I LOVE it)! I know it is supposed to be a surprise but I couldn’t help but have a look see! I won’t peak anymore…I promise to behave and wait until Christmas morning. I hope I don't wind up on Santa's naughty list now hahahaaaaaa! No really, be honest do you ever peak at your presents if you know where they are hidden?
Well here are some of the latest items I have been working on…..when I have time between filling the orders I got from the craft fair!
A bear baby bowl
Sasha modeling some new hats....
And a new bunny!
What else is going on in my life….well I signed Sasha up for her trip thru Paris!I am happy she is able to go on an educational trip like this but scared…like any other mother would be my baby girl will be in another country for 2 weeks! Thank goodness I have just over a year to prepare for it! She leaves grad year spring of 2012. She is soooooooo excited! 2 full weeks traveling thru Paris! haha I thru my name in and told her teacher if she needs any chaperones I would LOVE to go!
And more yarn talk…I am soooo angry! It is so darn hard to get safety eyes here! I was on an ami making roll and ran out of eyes! I drove all the way to Alberta to do some shopping 2 hours away and I couldn’t even find any there in Michaels! If you are an ami maker….do you find it hard to find eyes in your area?
Well I better run…gotta head to Curves! Yes I still go to the gym. But it seems like since August with everything that’s been happening in my personal life that this is put on the back burner….and I haven’t been eating all that great lately. But I hopped on the scale a couple of days ago…and my weight is the same 68 lbs lost!! So good news is I haven’t gained anything…..but I need to step it up and make sure I at least workout 3 times a week……and get back to cutting the junk food out. To break out of this rutt!
And before I run I have to share a picture of our new puppy Lola...
Well gotta run, have a great night!

Wow, you've had a lot going on! I just love the crochet work you're doing, you've taken to it like a duck to water! lol
I haven't had too much trouble finding ami eyes locally but I know there's some great shops on Etsy that sell them too. Good luck!
You'll have to send me your user name on Ravelry, I just joined as afghan swap group, too fun!
what a cute puppy! i looooove that owl hat. you really have a knack for crocheting. i have been able to find safety eyes on etsy.com.
wow, paris! how exciting and scary. i don't even like to let my kids spend the night at my MIL's.
Wait... Sasha is your DAUGHTER?? No way you never look old enough - I thought she was your flat mate or...erm... partner (don't tell her I said that!) Wow! Am in stunned amazedness now!
You naughty, naughty thing! I don't peep as I love the surprise but I do feel my pressies when they are under the tree. However I am at the moment typing on one of my gifts (Yay finally got my new PC tower!) ANNNNNND my luverly young man has told me he is making me a craft room down at his work unit as another pressie! I have to help scrub it out and clean it up before he makes shelves and stuff but hey... can I go AAAAAARGH! :D :D
Love your makes - especially the red & white hat, it's SO Dr Seuss :P
