There’s nothing in the world like a fuzzy, warm scarf blocking the bitter cold winter wind from your neck. And being broke and bored, I decided about a year ago to learn this time-honored tradition of the housewives who have cooked and cleaned before me. I am decidedly in my beginner phases, but over the Christmas break (well, break for my husband and baby girl who didn’t have school for a week and a half while the rest of us grunts had knuckle breaking work to do) I made about 4 scarves and 1 hat! Very productive and I finally used some of the yarn I got on major clearance at Hobby Lobby last May! (Apparently, when it’s no longer cold is the best time to buy warm fuzzy yarn.) So, here is a small sampling of my projects. For all scarves, modeled by my darling baby girl, check out my Facebook page at: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2049139&id=1322357918 I’m going to finish another scarf, using whats left of my hat yarn, to make a set, and then another hat to match a previous scarf…then hopefully move on to the wonderful world of socks! Whoo Hoo, exciting times all around…
I also recently discovered a website: www.thepioneerwoman.com. Ree Drummond is one of the best bloggers I’ve read, and her recipes look to be awesome. I’m asking for her cookbook for my birthday, if I can wait that long. I also want a Wii, so if anyone out there has an extra they’re not using, feel free to mail it to me!
I want to do this blogging thing more frequently. It seems like a nice release. And lawd knows I need a release! Between extended family drama, 3 jobs, a 4-year-old, 2 steps and a husband who at times is as neat as the 13-year-old boy in the house, I frequently want to bang my head against a brick wall until I’m babbling incoherently and drooling on myself.
So, here’s to a new year, new releases, new hobbies, new reads and hopefully new recipes!
