you realize that you don't blog as much as you said you would. gosh, i'm ever the optimist when it comes to new ideas. then after a while, if it's not something i HAVE to do, i start to slack. i really have a problem with that. ugh. plus, the season is changing, and i don't get many requests for hats anymore. spring is a b*t*h. i don't know how many more projects i can do in the spring and summer that would be as entertaining as the fall and winter projects. i mean, i can still make the Keepcakes and legwarmers and any little project, but who should i be making these for?!? it's not like i need a hundred legwarmers (even though i love them!!). i don't know what to do. i really don't enjoy springtime, i mean there's just not much to do. i was really enjoying staying in and snuggling up with Zach and crocheting!
anybody need me to make them something? i'm dying for a new project!!!

crochet til it hurts..
my hands were so cramped up from crocheting, i took a couple days off. i have some pictures of my latest projects though. i made some for my sister's birthday, and the legwarmers were just for me. i'm excited to get back to the hook and yarn tonight, cause i'll be able to start the Care Bear hat.

past midnight and sleep is nowhere in sight...
i have insomnia.
There. i said it. i have the hardest time sleeping. it's nice on one side: i have plenty of time to watch Golden Girls and Saved by the Bell while i crochet.... but on the other side, it kinda makes me crazy. i mean, i stay up until 3, 4 or even 5 every night- even if i have taken a sleeping pill at 10:30-11:00!!! so that's mostly why i can get so many projects done on a daily basis- i owe it all to insomnia. i don't know whether i should talk to my doctor about it. i don't know what he can help me with...besides telling me the info i already know. oh well.
currently, i'm working on making some leg warmers- just for fun! haha. they are so cheesy and waaaay retro, but that's the best part about them! hopefully i can post the pictures tomorrow, if i can finish them tonight. i think the other project i want to start is a Care Bears beanie. i already have the idea in my mind. i don't like to use other people's patterns, unless i have to or if it's something i've never made. but for pretty much everything i've made, i just wing it. that's always worked for me when it comes to creating things. art, clothes, and even when it comes to dying and cutting my hair. i just like to pretend like i know what i'm doing, go for it and usually it comes out the way i planned. haha.
the only creation i've got for today's post is an older one, but i forgot to put it up! my niece Saige came to my house and demanded i make hats for her Barbie and her horse, named Horse.
i guess the other day when my niece asked her mom (my sis Jill) if i would come hang out with them, Jill told her "well, i don't know. i don't know what she's doing tonight." and Saige replied, "she's making hats!!!" haha. she's so funny. but she knows what she's talking about, cause that was very true!
i'm off to finish the leg warmers and start the Care Bears beanie.
au revoir!

to market, to market...
i feel like doing some thrift store hunting! i don't know what for exactly, but i know i can go into a thrift store and come out with all kinds of finds for my crafts, decor and closet! i think i'll go in to the D.I. and have a look-see. i haven't posted in a few days, simply out of boredom. i sometimes go through phases of online boredom, and i neglect my few sites i like to post on. sorry about that. but i'm sure everyone goes through the 'internet drought'. it's just like there's so much of EVERYTHING that there's almost too much to know what to do, so i end up not doing anything. besides that i've been really busy making stuff for someone special. and after i give them to said person, i can post the pictures. i wouldn't want the surprise to be ruined!
so i've only got one photo for my Daily Crocheations. it's a newsboy cap in the color i like to call oatmeal. it's super cozy.
besides that photo, i decided to post several photos for the day, since i missed so many! enjoy.

candy is dandy....
my husband brought me skittles and a million other assorted treats today, because he knew how bad my sweet tooth was today. what a gem. i think it may have inspired me to name this next beanie, Skittles and Sprinkles..... anywho, i have 2 pictures for the Daily Crocheations:
OH! and i also have another picture to add to my Photo for the Day. we had a serious snow storm the other night, and decided to go for a drive into town. haha, great pictures, but there were bad, bad, drivers. of course, this IS Utah!

pants on fire...
cause i'm kind of a little bit of a liar. but you know what?!? sometimes you get caught up doing stuff and don't think about posting the pictures you wan,t before it's too late. then you start procrastinating. over and over. but i just haven't taken new pictures yet, that's in store for today. i'm just such a perfectionist when it comes to taking pictures, i want them to be just right! so i'll get them done today, and get 'em up tonight!
