Soooo....

I mentioned earlier that since the computer had been sick and unusable, I had been busy with crochet, and I finished some Christmas gifts. So I thought I should share!
So I decided I wasn't happy with the shawl I made my aunt, and started making granny squares to put together to maker her a granny square scarf. This is a variegated purple yarn. I think my camera dislikes purple, I always have trouble taking pictures with the true purple color. Anyways I made 12 squares and I am now sewing them together to make the scarf. Yay!

 I made my grandmother a little card wallet. She carries her cash and all her cards in a change purse that is ready to bust. This is a much cuter way to do it. I plan on making a bigger one to hold my camera, phone, and Ipod in purse. The fabric choice, is because my grandmother loves elephants with their trunks up (for good luck). Here it is open...

 and here it is closed.

 These are some Christmas trees that will be strung together to make a garland. I just need to weave in the ends, and block them so they will lay flat. I am never crazy about that part, but I can't string them together till I do it. So I better get on it!

Work has been crazy busy! Awesome, since it is a craft store. Maybe more people are making handmade gifts.
Are you making a lot of your gifts this year?

Crochet

So I have been crocheting like crazy! I have also felted for the first time! I really like the way it came out!
I have started working at Michael's and it's not that bad. I work up at the register, and as long as it's busy I don't mind it. Also this week they are having employee appreciation week, which means anything not on sale is 50% off. Um hi can you just keep my paycheck this week. I picked up a Christmas present, and of course some yarn. I will have to grab some more yarn before the 24th (sale ends). Also might have to look at the potential of some other kinds of Christmas gifts I could make. The men in my life (dad, brother, boyfriend, grandfather) are so difficult to make things for. Any ideas??? They are already have scarves from me.
This Friday, is the Friday! We make our annual trip to Salem. So far weather looks good. The place is so pretty especially in fall. The houses are pretty much kept historically accurate. I love just walking through the town.
Any places you like to visit in fall?
