i haven't dropped off the face of the earth...

I'm just buried in crafty projects & yarn!

I've been busy making cards:







And...

I've been crocheting! I'm addicted... it's literally all I want to do! Dana's (Crafty Minx) Crochet School is so thorough and easy to follow, & it gets you up and hooking quickly! I've made wrist warmers (aka. fingerless gloves), dish cloths, scarves, hats... and my yarn stash is quickly growing! I've warned Shawn that he may come back and have to unearth me from under my piles of wonderfully soft yarns!


baby bunting... I will be making this in adjustable size (and different colours!) and die cutting felt letters like "sweet" and "precious" to use this as a photo prop... I can't wait! I found it here on Amanda's blog!




my first attempt at a cabled scarf... it was remarkably easy and, of course it's in my favourite colour!




dishcloths... I've been making dishcloths and pot holders - the cotton yarn is so inexpensive and one ball makes 2 cloths! If you're getting presents from me this Christmas, you know what you're getting...




I found a super easy pattern for this cute hat and flower... I know a couple of little girls that will be getting hats!




more dishcloths... this time with a matching towel with a hanger so it can hang off of your oven door handle




a burnt orange neck warmer - just have to find the right buttons for this & it's done!




another cute little hat and (gigantic) flower... I <3 Ravelry!



I took my knowledge of cables from making the previous scarf and made one for myself that is slightly skinnier since I have a very short neck...
