Whoa!

I know what your thinking... "Shes blogging about something other than A Year of Projects? WOW! " hehe I will post my weekly YOP on Tuesday. 8 weeks have flown by.  but yes, This is NOT a YOP post. No cute graphic on the bottom. ( did you look? lol )
I do have other things on my brain other than crochet. At the moment I can't think what they are though.

Looking around my apartment, cleaning would be good.  :) My fiance is a bit of a messy guy. There's a game controller on the floor, his slippers are smack dab in the middle of the living room.I am guessing he couldn't find the laundry basket this morning before work because a shirt of his is on the arm of the couch, and the computer desk could use a little dusting ( his responsibility) , ooo change. : happy dance:

Speaking of fiance, we only have 8 months until I drag him down the short aisle at city hall. I have to keep him away from his precious computer for an entire day..OMG..lol I don't think his Wildstar guild will survive! Then there's the honey moon... that's 4 days long! oi!

Our wedding is mostly little touches. I tried to come up with a theme that would suit both of us. He's a gamer and I'm a hooker (crocheter) who likes Mario games, ie Super Mario's 3-D world, Mario Kart .... and he likes them too so I came up with a Mario/gamer - ish theme.  Like I said, our wedding is mostly little touches. Its a small event so no tux, Jon would look weird any way, so I am buying him a pixel tuxedo shirt I found on etsy. His "boutonniere" is going to be a Link action figure.... If I can find one. And our cake topper will look something like this (<< Pinterest link ).
My hubby to be thinks I am planning this BIG wedding. But I too don't want a big wedding . Something low key but fun. We are saving so much money not having a reception. ( all the more money to be spent on our honeymoon in ... Salem ,MA) .

Yes. I said Salem , MA. We like to learn stuff. We aren't resort people. Salem has a bunch of museums. And since Jon has NEVER been to the Boston Aquarium , I thought it would be a nice surprise if I planned for us to spend a day there.

More later. My butt is now numb... I must get off it.

YOP5 week 34

Motivation to finish my list is highly needed!! My hook challenge isn't doing too well. All those projects are holiday related and I've missed a few. Its silly to make Christmas items a few weeks before St, Patrick's day . But I did FINISH something thing week!! Guess how many skeins it took to finish this blanket? 

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
