Hearts ♥ Garland



I enjoyed knitting the pumpkin garland so much I decided I wanted to make another garland and since Valentine's day is coming up I chose to make one with hearts.


I used raspberry pink yarn (Red Heart Super Saver) with a red and metallic mixed yarn (Red Heart Holiday yarn). 




If you want to make a Valentine's day garland for yourself or someone else, there is a great pattern at katydidandkid.com.  Also check out Love Rocks pattern and Valentine Heart Rings pattern for cute heart accessories!

Happy knitting!

Snow Day!


We got lots of snow and Coffee had a great time playing in it and eating it :)


I have lots of knitting to do today.  This is a scarf I'm knitting with tan acrylic yarn and a mohair yarn.  It's in seed stitch and I will add fringe at the ends when I'm done.


This is a shawl I've been working on for a while and still have a long way to go.  It's also in seed stitch with soft pink acrylic yarn.  I'm going to add tassels to the ends when I'm done.

That's all for now, see ya!

Plant Update

(Before)
Just a quick update on how my plants are doing.  I got these plants back in August and they have grown a bit. 


The Jade plant has been giving me the most trouble, its leaves get soft if I don't water it correctly but I think I'm getting it on track now.


This one, I'm not sure what it's called, has grown much taller and is my favorite.  It's very easy to take care of.


I don't think the cactus grew at all, but it isn't dieing either soooo, yay? :p

I was thinking of decorating the pots, I'm not sure yet what I want to do but here is a cute idea!  Chalkboard Flower Pot from http://sewhipmama.wordpress.com/

See ya later!
