I'll craft if I want to

A friend at work put a bug in my ear about where she could get matching knit hats for her daughters that weren't a million dollars. I can't knit to save my life - oh, how I've tried. But I can crochet like a demon.
Any pattern. Any timeSo I printed off a couple of free patterns and went to town. I made this style in two sizes and one other style that I didn't take any pictures of. Sadly, I didn't have the size crochet hook to make the size I needed and I only had brown yarn but it was good practice. It felt really good to pick up the hook and feel the yarn slide through my fingers again. It's just like falling off a horse. I think I may work a few more before I'm done. I think Em kinda liked it, too.

Last pictures of 2010

It has been a while. Again. Even through the days home bound from the snow storm, I found it hard to pull myself away from the newness of the Wii to post. But now - here I am.

Beautiful morning

No, I didn't take time out from the present opening and what not to get out my camera so I have nothing to show for that part of the break. I have no excuse.
There you go. Enjoy.
