Belle's

Guess what Belle had for me today:
Yup...more doily thread! Well, I'll take it. I also borrowed a bunch of doily patterns from her to copy...so I will have plenty to do in the evenings. :)
Here is the progress on my black doily:

I'm almost out of thread and there are supposed to be 10 more rows so I'm either going to do one more round, making up a finish or else add a color to the outside. I think I'll probably just make up a finish. I'm not sure how I could like color on it. But you never know...might be cool. :)

Anyway...hope your all having a lovely Wednesday...I'm off to do some tidying up and then mum and I are having a girl's night.

Puckerooms

I knew Willy Wonka and I were kindred spirits. Sour gummy candy in the shape of mushrooms.
Oh the bliss....

"Without thread, the world would be chaos..."

Last week my mom and I went to our friend Belle's house to visit and crochet like we try to go do with her every week. I love going to see her because she inspires me so much and she's such a sweetheart and we always have tea and fig newton's. The past several times I've gone I've taken my knitting but last week I thought I'd try and use up some of my doily thread and make some doilies. So this is the problem. Belle saw that I was crocheting with smaller thread and it reminded her she had a whole box of small thread she didn't like to use and she gave it to me. Oh the irritating bliss. Because I couldn't say no. I mean look at how beautiful they are...
So I'm going to be making a lot of doilies. But I think I'm strangely okay with that.

To brighten up this foggy day...

The Oregon Ducks may not have won the Rose Bowl...but this still makes me laugh...ah, Taylor Lautner...SNL is your calling...

and this is just so freakin' hilarious. :)

If you love SNL you should check out the rest of Taylor Lautner hosting....it's pretty funny. It is rated TV14 so some of them might have some inappropriate content...just to warn you. My favorites though are 'Lab Partners' and 'Show Choir'....and actually all the ones that Taylor Lautner is in. Who knew he could be so funny? :)

Making order

I feel like I have a million piles like that to go through right now. Random stuff, notebooks, papers, magazines. I'm just taking one at a time. Simplify, simplify, simplify. That's my motto.
