Most Recently Completed Projects :)

Hello Blog World! I said that I would post yesterday but my Monday turned out to be CRAZY. So here I am tonight! I finally have time to post a couple photos of my most recent projects. Living in ND results in COLD winters (yuck!!). So of course I need a nice collection of scarves to match every outfit. This fall I have been building my collection!

The final project!! :) I love it!

First is a scarf I knit to match my black and blue winter jacket. I thought it turned out pretty great!

Knitting needles and coffee = a wonderful sunday!

You can find the pattern here. I wanted my scarf a bit wider than the pattern called for so I improvised and added more rows!


The next scarf is a quick Saturday crochet project I saw on Pinterest. You can find the link here! I love this scarf! The cream color goes with many things! It is not the warmest though so it is definitely an accent piece!















Well, that's all for today. I'll be posting a photo of my latest project soon! Hope all is well in cyber space! :) I'll leave you with a photo of my lovely Halloween Decor!

Projects from the Old Days

Well, for my first official post, I am going to document some of my past knitting and crocheting projects. Over the years, I have enjoyed knitting and crocheting as a way to pass time (and avoid snacks!!). I have recently developed a strong passion for knitting and crocheting and have many dream projects on the way!! Here are some of the projects I have made for myself and friends along the way.

First, one of my crocheting projects. This large afghan has seen better days but has been through a lot with me.

I am not sure where the pattern is otherwise
I would give credit where credit is due...  

Next, is a baby blanket for a close friend's little girl who had a Winnie the Pooh theme in her room. I love the yellow and the reversible squares in the pattern. The pattern for this blanket can be found here!

The whole blanket.

A close up of the squares!

Tomorrow, I will be posting some of my more current projects (SCARVES!!)!!!

Welcome to my Busy Life!!

Well, I did it! I finally entered the blogging world (no looking back, right?!). A few things about me: I am a Christ follower, a Canadian, a speech-language pathologist, and a wife. I love reading, cooking, crafting, and spending time with my loved ones. On August 5th, 2011, I married my DH (dear husband) and am now one of many military wives across the USA. We currently call cold, cold ND our home. This is where I plan to document our busy life. No matter where the military sends us, our family and friends can use this blog to stay in touch. I also hope to use this blog to share my passions for knitting, crocheting, photography, and cooking (to name a few). I will use this blog to document many of my projects and how I grow as an artist, a wife, and a Christian. Please leave comments whether you are family, friends, or strangers, I'd love to hear from you! (Note: this is my happy place and there is no room for negativity here, any comments deemed by me to be inappropriate will be removed from the blog).

Here is my DH and I on our wedding day: August 5th, 2011 :)
