Y'all, math is hard.

I used to be good at math. I used to get good grades and like, a good SAT score. I'm pretty fast with arithmetic (which, for you under twentys, is an old timey word for adding, multiplying, and the like). But I can't seem to stick to a budget.

My multitude of obsessions/ interests does not help. At any given time, I absolutely MUST purchase one or more items to satisfy my urge to:
-cook something tasty
-drink something bubbly
-make something from purlbee.com or younghouselove.com or dana-made-it or ... You get the idea.
-purchase something for our upcoming trip to new york. Like a coat. And sweaters. Tights. Legally Blonde tickets.

Did I mention we want to remodel the kitchen and buy a Honda element??? Gahhhhh

I made a blanket. NBD.

I made this.




It's felted wool and super warm. If I knew how to post a link to the tutorial I made it from, I would. But I can't. So just go to purlbee.com and look at Trip Around the Wool from molly's sketchbook.


It was good times.

Post-Thanksgiving

So it's been 2 weeks since my epic Thanksgiving Feast. And it was indeed epic. Epic gravy. Epic leftovers (note to self: 17 lbs of turkey is too much.). I did make a delicious turkey and barley soup (which again, there was too much of). The only viable leftovers now are stuffing, gravy, and some cranberry sauce (from scratch. Boom.)

I am now in full Christmas Mode. We even have a wreath on the front door! It's delightful, and my husband bought it for me as a surprise! So sweet. We decided no tree, because of the puppy and her tendency to eat things she shouldn't.

My holiday shopping is almost done. I had grand plans to make some gifts in my craft room. So far, all I've managed to create is a huge pile of fabrics from the remnant bin at JoAnn Fabrics, and a small mess. Maybe this weekend I will do something more...crafty.

Also, I am now obsessed with purlbee.com It's a crafter's paradise.
