Hexagon WIP 4

Working, slowly, on the border. Very slowly. Sloths look speedy next to me. 

(Yay TARDIS rug from Christmas!)

I spent my time on more important things. Like making funny faces at the camera in Disneyland again. I'm the one making the ridiculously over exaggerated face of terror.

Hexagon WIP 3

Muwahaha. My hexagon blanket is nearing completion. Sort of. Almost.

It's really a beautiful blanket... if you slightly cross your eyes and let the image blur. Mmm, so pretty.

Actually it's a bit smaller than my calculations predicted. I'm going to even out the sides and make it a perfect square and then add granny squares that were made by my great grandmother before I was born. At least I think they're from before I was born. It definitely sounds better saying it that way rather than "that she made anywhere from 20-100 years ago." In any case it will be a cute way to add some family history to my project. She was the original crochet queen of the family and her talents skipped a couple generations and landed on me. 

More to come!

Hexagon WIP 2

It's grown! The hexagons are now all attached and I'm currently working my way through connecting all the in between. The background puzzle has, alas, made no progress. 

Looks a little wonky still, but it will get there.

Hexagon WIP

I may or may not have actually started this project a year ago.

I may or may not have intended to finish it when my husband was deployed.

Either way I'm working on it now!

I may or may not have realized I don't actually have enough hexagons. Meh.

Little Gifts

2014. Soooooon.

Early in October I whipped up about a dozen of these to give out to my friends and family. 

You've probably seen an assortment of these little hand warmers on Pinterest, they are filled with rice and were well received. (Seriously, they are far too cute.)

My ideas may not be original, but the amount of laughter these bearded hats caused was totally worth it. Seriously, I wish I had a picture of my mom sporting the look. Luckily my dad and soon to be brother-in-law appreciated their gifts with gusto. 

Happy New Year everyone! I plan to spend more time with myself this year (a strange proclamation, and not to be taken with a creepy vibe) to recuperate and heal emotionally. Not that I'm dead inside or anything, but I gave so much of myself to 2013 that 2014 will be a little more selfish... and hopefully a little more productive for my crafts and hobbies! How about you?
