So I have one lovely skein to add...my last yarn purchase of the year (I do still have a few clubs)...anyway this is my Favorite Colors by Knitmona...and it is my favorite colors...and a self stripe!!!
Today I am doing some cleaning up of the yarnz room...and some organizing of yarnz and projects for the new year....was going to the movies, but didn't fall asleep until about three and have a wicked headache this morning, so that was a no go....
Hope you all have a wonderful new year's eve...I'm usually in bed by that time....See you next year!!!
Good morning! Although this one linkup has not been as successful as Wednesdays...I will continue it in 2017....
Although my crafting mojo went away...I did finish a few things...
I didn't take pictures, but I made each of my students either a bell necklace or a pair of bell earrings....I also made some earrings for a friend of mine and a couple pair for myself...
I made my friend a pair of green Christmas ones not in the picture....I've worn the gold sparkly on top and the green and gold....The bell earrings in this picture are fancier than the 8 pairs I made students...they only had the one smaller bell with beads on them...I have to make another 2 pair...because two girls got necklaces and really wanted earrings...I had tried to get a count of which girls had pierced ears...but I missed a few...
I completed my Pussyhat...not sure if I showed it
By request I made a couple of mug cozies...
Then yesterday I decided maybe some crochet would kickstart my mojo...and started on this...kind of looked like an Ood for awhile....
But, nope...I made a Princess Leia...because it had to be done...the backdrop is the last birthday card I received from my dad...it used to play the Imperial March, but I think the battery died...
She was my first sci-fi female icon.....and then her Mom, Debbie Reynolds passed and I was named for a character Debbie Reynolds played.....yes, I am a puddle of emotions!
How was your holiday week of crafting? Anything wrapped up before the New Year????
Welcome to the last one of the year! I hope you have had fun playing along! I will be continuing into the next year...I'm going to change the picture...and maybe add a thing or two to the posts, we'll see....
So although I have put in a row or two here and there....I've really had no creative mojo for the past week or so...I WANT to work on things, but don't know WHAT I want to work on...bored by all my WIPs, but don't want to start anything new because of so many WIPs! I've wound some yarn, but haven't done anything with it yet...sigh.....
I did do a Christmas Eve cast on, but the yarn took a LONG time to wind.....
The yarn is Mothy and the Squid in Candy Cane
I cast this on, the first night of The Walking Dead season and forgot about it....This is a Wurm hat...
Today I go to my rheumatologist for my three month check-in, yesterday I had three cavities filled and Friday I have an eye doctor appointment....such a fun "vacation" week!
How was everyone's holiday? I didn't get any crafting goodness, but did get a gift certificate for my LYS.....
I will have a Finished Objects Friday post up this week....see you then!
Good morning! It is a snowy, very cold morning here in Connecticut! This may be my last stash post off the year, or not....I just did some shopping on etsy yesterday, so I think I may have a few more skeins come in before the end of the year. I don't plan on going anywhere shopping, but who knows? But looking around my stash room...I'm pretty full up at the moment and need to use some of the stash I have....
So I posted this one the other day
My two MadColor clubs this month were two of my favorite female characters...Charlie from The Road So Far club (Supernatural) and Black Widow
I don't think I ever posted the yarn I bought on Black Friday in NYC...It wasn't too much...
I got the 21 Color Slouch Kit from Woolyn in Brooklyn
Knitted Wit in Glacier on Targhee Shimmer DK....This will be a hat...
Into the Whirled Meriadoc on Pakokku Sock because greys and purples..
That was it! I did buy a few more things, but they were gifts....
The Girl Power bag is mine...but the skein in the middle is a Molly Girl I gifted in Instagram's "Getyouryarnwishesgranted...it glows in blacklight! Pretty cool!
So on Small Shop Saturday, I went to my LYS up the street....the four basic colors are for me to make some gifts...the green and red skein of Done Roving in Christmas Cactus was gifted....although I just finished using my own skein yesterday! I shared previously the little lamb skein/hat combo I bought...

I think that is it...at least, it's all the new yarn pictures on my camera....I have a headache and it's time for breakfast....share if you have some nice new stash!
So I finished my Pussyhat yesterday. I figured I'd get a lot of crafting done, since I'm home per doctor's orders...yeah that didn't happen...the medicine I'm on makes it kind of hard....anyway, going to work on some more things today...so we'll see how it goes...
Not the best lighting...we don't have great lighting in this apartment, which is why I take the majority of the pictures outside...it's too freakin' cold to go outside!
You can see my parrot, Baloo, trying to figure out what I am doing! He is a white-capped Pionus and he is about twenty years old!
Well I am home for the next two days...doctor's orders....I started wheezing with the coughing, which has NEVER happened before! I'm on a pump medication that makes me
I have to take it every four hours....and with the extreme cold coming in and the fact that my students are "germ factories" (my doctor's words) I am home. I went back to school and spent two hours doing lesson plans for two days....it's more work to be out than to be in school sick...I was out Tuesday because of a bad sore throat and my students made some VERY poor choices....since I really couldn't talk yesterday.....I couldn't yell at them...but told them, quietly, how disappointed and ashamed I was of them...and that it made me want to cry....I think it got the point across...fingers crossed....
So I'm up, reading Instagram and catching up on blogs....Instagram is great for giveaways....so I found an Gilmore Girls Giveaway...you can read about it on Very Shannon's blog, but the giveaway is on her Instagram page.
I may add more to this post...if I find more giveaways....
Sorry I didn't post the link last week...I forgot....this week not much to post...I did start a hat, but haven't worked on it the past couple of days...been hurting and with the cold coming in, it's not going to get any better...it is what it is....I'm grateful when I'm feeling well....and I'm also back on antibiotics for sinus/ear infections and was home today sick...I slept pretty much all day...oh also bought some LuLaRoe leggings...but that was it...
This may not be for everyone...but it's a "pussyhat" from the PussyHatProject. No I don't use that word, yes there is a good reason they use it...you can read about it on their page...the pattern is cute and I believe in the cause...
My leggings! Robots!
Yarn from my two MadColor clubs arrived yesterday...Two of my FAVORITE BadA$$ ladies!!!!!
I also spent some time winding yarn for three projects...these are the first four colors of the 21 Color Slouch from Blue Sky Fibers. I bought the kit on Black Friday in NYC....
Sp what are you up to? Ferocious gift making? I thought I'd make some things this year..but may not happen...
Good evening folks! Posting on Thursday for a Wrap Up Friday....
I only have one finish...a pair of thumbless mitts for little Lucy....I bought the kit at a farm stand during the Fiber Festival of New England....the yarn was from a sheep called Henry...
I hope you had a great week and a wonderful weekend....
I was on my way to school this morning and my knee started getting shooting pains through it...so bad I started to cry...so I called in for a substitute...I was almost there, so I kept going to set my classroom up for a sub....by the time I got there I was having an emotional breakdown...I couldn't stop crying...it's the first time I cried since getting the diagnosis, and I know it is not as bad as getting a different type of diagnosis...but the reality is this is my life from now on...I'm only 48 and in constant pain...it sucks...I'm better now...came home, watched the rest of season 1 of The Crown, took a nap....but my hands are affected, so that is gong to slow down my crafting....I did order some compression gloves today...I'm hoping those will help...
Okay...BIG SIGH....I'm done....does anyone have something to link up this week?
