I just might never get over it.





Runnin Runnin..

My dreams have been pretty noticeable lately.

Twice in the past month I have had dreams involving the country of Turkey.

I just looked at a picture of the Turkish flag. I used to have a tattoo that looked similar.

This morning I woke up with the most vivid dream floating right at the top of my brain. I was running. Fast. I could feel wind whooshing by me.. cold and fresh. I was fast. It was a powerful feeling.

I looked up what running means in dreams... Escape.

My Free Will Astrology for this week.

Hmmm...

Jen's affirmations.

I found this because Jason Mraz posted it on his blog.

I have a new morning ritual. I am going to model it after this...

Hangin with Haley today!

This morning we walked Kristy to her CPA continuing ed class that was conveniently located two block from my house. It was chilly out, but I enjoyed being out in the city in the early hustle and bustle of the morning.

Next on the agenda: dry Honey Nut Cheerios for breakky and rolling around with the exercise ball!

I have been stricken with creative blocks. Perhaps it is the six pairs of failed slippers or the 8 mismatched gloves. I think I will just take a break from making something that must have a match.

Today is too lovely to stay inside, but hopefully soon, I will get my groove back.

My friend Katie and I get together about once a week with the intention of knitting/crocheting. Well... today we started our day with a field trip to Fabric Depot. I found some fantastic yarn that I am going to make fingerless mittens out of. I have been having a bit of a block... but these new purchases have inspired me.





I found buttons!!




After our field trip we stopped at Por Que No for lunch. Tacos. Yum. Margaritas. Yum. Somehow(I cant even imagine why... wait, I mentioned the margaritas, right?) our good knitting intentions end up equating to fabulous social time, but not much to show for it. I am going to make up for it right now and crank out a pair of those mittens!

Would it be cliche to call these bootie-licious?




I made these for Alison to give her coworker, Dorothy. Dorothy decided not to find out if it was a boy or a girl and I thought this yarn could work with either. I was pretty happy with how my very first booties turned out.

I made these and gave them to my friend Robyn for her birthday.

Ready... set... go!

I am not sure why I have had such a mental block about getting internet at home. But I finally did it. Last Thursday I called and I spoke to a lovely gentleman and we signed me up. The computer at home is all connected and I am just anxiously awaiting my introduction package to arrive in the mail. (If I had been thinking about it, I should have just gone and picked everything up.)I have enjoyed my little vacation. Mostly from Facebook. I dont know that I really need that on my Blackberry. I think I have decided that it really just ends up taking me out of the moments that I am actually in.

But yay for internet at home... without filters or blocks or forbidden pages!

This is the week that I kick everything off for reals.

Even though I have not been writing, I have been creating. My online motivations however have been sparse. I recently recovered from an addiction to Facebook on my handheld device. I feel like that has created some mental freedom....

But maybe this week I will officially get online at home and then I will subject you to pictures of my art.

And Etsy will be subjected to them as well...
