Crafty Craft Craft

We have been busy around the house making and doing little projects for the last week or so.

Bought a collection of new plants for the house and D and I have replanted them all and given them good homes.

We also bought some terra cotta pots for our herbs and painted them. It was a fun project, I painted a few and D painted two himself.

I have been having a little crochet revolution and am currently working on too many projects. Today I picked a quick hat project to do and finished within two hours. It's a cute little hat, I like it but probably will not be wearing it out anywhere. Sometimes patterns look better on paper than in real life.

I have finally finished D's hat, a Stan hat from South Park. Since I met D he has been hounding me to crochet this hat and it is finally done!

New Blog! Same Boring Bossy.

I have been told a lot lately that I focus on unhappiness so much that I am going to become stuck in it. Well my answer of course is to blog...fun. Yes times are tough and I am crying more often than not but I do have simple joys in this world.

My Simple Joys

• Looking into D's big green eyes
• Petting my dog Iggy
• Baking for others
• Watching my Garden grow
• Cooking new recipes
• Becoming friends with my Mom
  

My life is fairly boring but I thrive on consistancy, really. So I would love to share my new recipes, crochet projects and progress in the garden. I want to share the ups, and distract from the downs.
