Crocheting Away
That new crochet hook is the best. I've already made a few granny quares and I've already started a baby blanket. Pictures will be posted soon. I just haven't taken them yet. Before I got this hook I couldn't crochet to save my life, now I'm just going along happy as a clam.

Christmas
What a holiday! It was 3 days long for me. Christmas Eve at my Dad's, Christmas at home with Robbyn and then at my Mom's and the day after at a friend's. At my Dad's I was also with my Step-Mom and Step-Sister. We opened our stuff and we all liked what we got. I got my loom stand so now it will be easier for me to weave. That was awesome. It was also nice and easy to assemble.
Christmas morning was spent with my roommate and the kitties. Robbyn liked everything I gave her. I liked what she gave me. She even surprised me with a glass grinder. It'll be so much easier to do stained glass here at home now. Also, we can grind our fused glass pieces here at home then take them in to be fired. Now to get a Kiln. That afternoon we went to my Mom's. It was a houseful with the 2 of us, my Mom, Step-Dad, Grandparents, 2 cousins, Aunt & Uncle. We all had a blast like usual when we all get together. Everyone liked what they got again. The highlight of my day there was the trunk my Step-Dad made me. It's not here at home yet as it didn't fit in the car, but it'll be here in about a week. I also got an ergonomic crochet hook. Now I can start to crochet. I've tried to crochet and have had no luck at all. I tried one of these ergonomic ones out about a month ago and loved it. I was actually able to make a chain that you were able to get the hook back into. Today I grabbed a book and started to teach myself. I'm crocheting rather tight right now, but may end up loosening up as time goes on. I did the same with my knitting. I even started a Granny Square.
Today we (Robbyn and I) also went to our friends house where we were given more presents. I was given such a cute alarm clock, gift card, and more things. I got a crochet book with the gift card already and not the one previously mentioned.
Overall It was a great holiday and had a great time with family and friends. Now to rest, relax, recover, and get creating for next year. Oh and all the birthdays in between. Happy New Year everyone

Eyes in the Winter
Well, Christmas is just over a week away and I'm still weaving away to my heart's content, I'm ready to loose my sanity at a moment's notice, my foot is killing me, and my birthday meltdown is over. Ok, now to back up and go over each of those.
I still have 2 scarves to weave by christmas. I'd be further ahead of where i am, but I am a little discouraged by my last scarf. I chose a yarn that wasn't a good choice for warp yarn and it kept breaking. I ended up making the scarf short and have yet to warp again.
This time of month I'm always close to loosing my sanity. December I'm always closer to the edge. This year I'm even closer due to the meltdown over my birthday. That was earlier this month. It was one of those birthdays some people don't look forward to and I was one of them. I was having a meltdown about it. Thankfully I got over it before my b-day so I had a good b-day.
As for my foot, it just started hurting for no reason at all.
