new projects

Today is a new year. It's closer to a new year personally than new years day is. It's my birthday. I am exactly 28 years old..I think that birthdays are the days that people should make their new year resolutions....well...this is what I'm going to do anyway...I'm not going to list all of them here...some of them are very personal and I don't want to share with the whole world...or at least the five of you that read this blog...But I will share resolution #2 with you. #2 is that I want to get my etsy off the ground By September 30th. It gives me two months make purses and yarn and anything else I come up with out of recycled materials...

On another note...I started a blanket. My first blanket. I've been knitting and crocheting for close to a decade and this is my first blanket. No...I don't procrastinate...not me! I know, I know, it looks sort of christmas-ie and grandma-ish...but I didn't mean for it to look like that...I didn't go to the store with the intention of making a cheesy afghan that would go well in Mrs. Clause's sitting room...acctually...I'm trying to declutter my house...and I decided to get rid of some yarn. Then my crazy thrifty go-green mind yelled at me and said "It will be a waste to get rid of all that yarn..." So, why not make something useful? Who cares if it looks like Rudolf puked all over it? So! Here it is...my granny square, frosty jiz covered blanket:

unfinished of course...
