Taken from this amazing blogger who has all kinds of cute free patterns, this flower was super quick and relatively straight forward. I basically completed it months ago, but somehow didn’t sew the flower together with the headband until Friday. The ‘A’ Train dance last Friday inspired me to finally finish it and get all dressed up.

It is awesome, and warm, and I’m not afraid to admit that I’m proud of myself.

(I’ll have to work on the art of ‘displaying’ and photographing such items, though)

blanket!

Slowly but surely, the rectangles are getting crocheted.  Hopefully soon I will be able to put them together into a blanket.  My goal of ‘Christmas’ didn’t quite happen, but I’m close!  20 of 24 are done!

A direct result of watching my laptop tumble from my dresser to the floor, breaking my hard drive and losing all my data.

So instead of a photo, I present you with my current musical addiction: Owl City. This song (and album) is so catchy, that I made Sarah listen to it twice in a row last night during our roommate knit/crochet time. Yup, just imagine me crocheting, Sarah knitting, and us listening to this awesome track.

Apologies for the poor picture – I tried doing cooler angles but my point-n-shoot wasn’t having any of it.

Only one more sleep!!!
