As I promised in my last post here are pictures of what I’m working on right now. It’s not exact because I wanted to use a variegated yarn.

First the pattern picture:

The pot holder in progress:

I was crocheting a plastic bag holder for my kitchen. It was to be in the shape of a mouse wearing a long dress. I couldn’t go out and buy yarn for the project and I thought I had enough of 1 color for the dress part… I didn’t. I get frustrated fairly easily on things like this so I ripped it out and tabled that project for awhile. I decided instead that I’ll start on Christmas presents for the family. I’ve started on some pot holders. With them it doesn’t matter too much if you have enough yarn to make a whole one. You can use whatever colors you choose - wherever you choose to use them.

The potholders will go quick and easy. I’m half way done with one already. I’ll take some pictures tomorrow when I have more light in here.

I finally decided on new clothes for this blog.. I think. I had one up for a couple days and i just really didn’t care for it the more I looked at it. I just found this other one today and I like it much better. What do you think? Yeah or Nay?

Tomorrow this blog will be 1 year old!! Wow…. I’m going to have to get it some new clothes to wear (template).. lol So be looking for a new look soon. I don’t know if I’ll get to it today, but it will be wearing a new template very soon.

There are a number of travel guides available in the market, containing deals on new york hotel as well as other cheap hotels deals.

I just found out yesterday that I don’t have high blood sugar after all. The doctor didn’t tell me I had to fast for the blood test in October and the lab tech didn’t ask if I had eaten anything (I did eat that morning). I had another done the end of January and it was fine (I was told to fast). So today I saw a can of Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon rolls in the fridge left over from Christmas and they were still good (according to the expiration date on the can). I just took them out of the oven and I’m going to have one! They smell sooooo good!
