i finished the items for my moms gift swap and shipped them out today they should arrive in Toledo in time i think

Urchin by Ysolda Teague

size 11 needles

Loops & Threads Charisma in ashes

granny squares coaster

size j hook

pound of love lions brand- white, Ella Rea- brown, blue

i also sent a pair of candy cane earrings i made and a couple of pieces of candy

*******************
I'm working on another elephant. then another doll and hopeful i can get to Toledo at some point. I also want to start working on more items for myself. I need to get some yarn for this sweater

Stripey Spring Cardi by Mari Lynn Patrick  3 colors of yarn 528 yards each. I'm trying to get away from 100% acrylic I'm thinking

 comfy  45$ acrylic/wool

wool of the Andes 33$ wool

dishie 36$ cotton

full circle 40$

 

hmm i think a crochet sweater cost a lot more to make because it uses more yarn i think I'm going to have to go acyclic for this one. but i will go with better yarn for a knit one. I think i might try wool of the Andes

hi a

So it all started as me just wanting to get some caution tape from someone who seemed nice. then it turned into a blood bath. ok not really. but the first items that i made for her she flat out said that she didn't like them. i was crushed i spent all say making them



she didn't like the fact that i didn't sew them. she found them to be poorly made. i mean i could have put a little more time into it. but i didn't feel as thought what i was getting in return was that expensive so yea. but i got some tips from craftster on how to make them better next time. but they wont be giving to anyone out side of my family.

so i made her a toy that was also on her list



which made toy ask for a yoshi. i still have yet to find a free pattern i found one for 7.00$ maybe if i plan on making a ton of them or giving the pattern to other people.

i'm making gifts for jessica's birthday shes turning 21. i'm giving her my knit mini, because she wears things like that. so im making her matching gloves. she asked for gloves. and toby doesnt want me to work on anything else. but thats not how i work. i don't stay on one project at a time. i made the gift box yesterday



the gift box is made from strips of newspaper. i weave them together and tape the edges all together. i really like the flip top. i hope the box can hold all the stuff. maybe i should tape the whole thing. i don't know it only needs to last one day.

i also finished some crochet food. i started them months ago i had all the piece. sometimes i just don't like to finish thing. i added pins because its a pin cushion. and toby stabbed him self with it, so i took the pins out,i'll find some beads for sprinkles later.



oh yea toby is knitting again last time he only did it for two days. he has been at it for a week. he is making a gift for jessica, he just might finish it

Knit: I'm working on a bear for toby for Valentines Day. I found the pattern on ravelry, it really easy. once i learned how to work with the double pointed needle.


Food/diet: I brought a book a couple of of days ago vegan with a vengeance. I went food shopping and got 160 worth of food. I tried not to buy many items with cheese or milk ingredients but that’s nearly impossible. I got lots of vegetables, fruit, tofu and other good things. I want to make tons of food. I will share the good recipes.

Life: why didnt anyone tell me how expensive fed ex is. I mailed my mom the purse i made with a gift card and twenty dollars, it cost me 8$ to ship that. and it was only .21 pounds.
