No updates this week.. I had to catch up on a few orders and had to make the 10 hats that I mentioned in my last post for my future SIL.  I wish I had more hands :) I am almost done with the hats... I just need to add the eyes, ears, braids,pom poms, ect.

Yay ! we made it to week 2 :) :: Happy Dance :: While I was sitting in the doctors office ( my fiance' had an appointment) I was able to complete 6 granny squares in 30 minutes for the Mario Blanket. I could of finished more but my mind was somewhere else.  Late last week I changed the size of the squares. I was doing 4 rounds. 5 inches. My fiance doesn't need a large blanket, just enough to cover up with while sitting at his computer during the winter. So now each sq. is 3 rounds , 4 in.   I made 25 squares of light blue while I was waiting for the Hot Red yarn that I ordered to show up.It was a full skein when I started and I am able to make about 5 more with the ball I have left. I just want to make sure I don't need this color for any little projects. Its hard for me to get to the store sometimes since I don't drive :( I want to get at least half of the squares done before my busy season.(Halloween). I know brown will be the last color I complete . My fut

Lets see how long this will last lol. Over the last few days Ive been working on my fiance Jon's Mario blanket. This may take me awhile. I need 54 brown, 45 red, 42 tan, and 109 light blue. I started with the red but since I had a partial skein I was only able to make 15. So I started on tan until I get the red (hot red) . I made 6 tan last night. Doesn't look like much. I have to find the previous 5 squares, I think they are a different color. So I am not counting them right now.  Weekly count Red: 15 of 45 done Tan: 6 of 42 done Brown: 0 of 54 done Light blue: 0 of 109 done Yellow: 2 of 2 done. here is my full list of projects

I love being able to look at so many types of pins. I will keep THIS pinterest post short, I am looking through the wedding category :) I found this pin.... Custom Zelda shoes   They are incredible . my fiance' LOVES Zelda. Immediately after seeing the pin, I posted the link on his facebook page ( hes at a friends being the nerd he is playing magic the gathering). I know he will freak out the he sees the post. I am in awe of these shoes. I'm not a gamer ( though Mario Kart 8 does take up alot of my free time..lol ).  if you follow the link under the picture it will take you to the pin , click on the pin and it will take you to the post of the owner of these shoes.   

So I fell off the YOP wagon last year and accomplished next to nothing. In my defense I got busy with orders. a certain hat blew up in popularity in my etsy shop. I was getting 3-5 hat orders in a day all through late September and early October. I am hoping for a repeat of that :) For this Year of Projects list I kept it short.
