hi everyone. :)  I hope your holidays were great and wonderful.  I don’t know about you guys, but i’m sooooo glad they are over.  I hate all the chaos, the massive amounts of eating, etc that go on w/ the holidays.  But I do love all the friends and family we get to see.

So this week’s bag is a good bag

This is a Crumpler bag I bought in Canada when i was there in Oct.  There is a cool Crumpler store out there and i always have to go there after I go to Romni Wools (b/c it’s right down the street).  I cannot take pictures to show off the true beauty of this bag.  Check it out on their website so you can get an idea of why I like it so much. :)   This is the perfect weekend getaway bag.  Too big to be a gym bag though.

I do have ONE FO to show off…but it’s a bit of a minor one. hahaha.  baby crochet!

Project: Osito Infant Bear Hat (direct link)
Yarn:  Encore Worsted
Amount Used: 1/2 a skein
Color:  0520 - grey
Hook Size:  G - 4.00 mm
Date Started: Jan 1, 2010
Date Finished: Jan 1, 2010

I would say something stupid as to how Zoe is posed…but eh.  i wasn’t really paying attention when I sat her on the bed and took pics.  hahahaa.

This is a super fast hat to crochet.   I had it done in like 2 hours.  I started it after the ball drop on New Year’s Eve. :)  My only regret about this is I wish I used a bigger hook.  I kind of had to wrestle this hat on Zoe and I’m planning on giving this to a human baby….but he is only 2 months old.  wait…3 months old.  ACK.  i better hurry and send this.  Zoe is the same size as a 9 mo old baby (so I was told).

I started a new shawl/scarf tonight.  It’s for a good friend of mine that has helped me with alot of thoughts and prayers and I want her to know how much I appreciate her.

Not sure how I feel about the color.  her fav. color is peach and i figured this was peach…but it looks more coral to me at this moment.  argh!

I’m still working on the Danish Tie shawl.  It’s a super easy knit, but it’s kind of boring.   And i’m still working on the legwarmers.  Same deal….it’s easy easy…but boring.  I think that’s why I have startitis so bad right now. 

Oh I was told by some friends shame on me for not showing off something last week.  Sorry sorry! I got a Christmas gift I didn’t expect.   It’s just so cute and so me!!

Ignore my old looking hands.  ugh.   but isn’t it the cutest little ring?  :)  i love it love it!

We’re getting some kind of freaky arctic blast here in DFW, TX today.  the temp is only supposed to be between 12F - 23F.  wheee!  I fell asleep last night really early b/c i was exhausted and not feeling well (we’re talking 845p, people!) and I woke up at 2am for some reason.  maybe b/c I got a full night’s sleep.  who knows.  But it started raining at that time and the temp dropped ALOT.  I’m watching the morning news right now and for some reason all the schools are closing today.  I had no idea it was going to ice today…i thought it was just going to be cold.  hmm.  brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….rito!!! :)  everyone keep warm and have a great weekend!
