Brrrrrr! It's getting cold here! I woke up today freezing my toes off and just had to jump back into my toasty warm bed. Which was nice until my tummy started grumbling for some food... So, while I was sitting on the couch munching on my toast (still very much cold) I realized I don't have a warm comfy afghan. That's just not right. I must make one! Actually, I had started one a few years ago... I got distracted by other projects and it landed in the UFO pile. But I think I may drag it out and make another attempt at it. ^^
Things around here are still a WIP too. I know I really should get my layout done before actually posting, but I can't help getting ahead of myself! :P At least I got it working here. I formatted my computer a few days ago, so I've still gotta search through my backups for Photoshop or something that I can edit images in.
Oh, and since it's November and Remembrance Day is coming up I received an email from Bernat with some nice red poppy friendly scarf patterns done in their Satin yarn.
I don't really have a whole lot to say. I just thought I should fill this empty space with something that sort of resembles an introduction (I'm terrible at making introduction posts...) and I'll try to give an idea of what this is about.
The focus (I'm hoping) will be on my projects. Mostly dealing with crochet and a dabble of knitting. I've recently dragged out the sewing machine giving that another shot. My first attempt was not pretty... ^^;; Come to think of it, neither was my second or third. I guess that's what practice is for! As I think constantly updating on progress is hardly exciting (admit it, it's not) I plan to toss in some of my other interests and hobbies. Things like video games (I'm so behind on my list, but what gamer isn't?), finding cool things online (in other words shopping), and cooking (we all gotta eat!).
I guess I should put something here about myself. Well, I'm Canadian. I was born and raised here. I try to not be stereotypically Canadian, but my American boyfriend is quick to point it out. :P I can't help it. If I want a coffee, I go to Tim's. I complain in the summer time that it's too hot wishing for colder weather, but when winter is just around the corner I complain with everyone else that it's too cold. I groan and cheer for the Leafs at the same time. Coffee crisps are awesome. Swiss Chalet is the place to order chicken. And my French is terrible, mais je sais un peu. I should also point out that when I say I don't have a whole lot to say, I end up somehow saying a lot...
I'll try to spiffy this place up and get the ball rolling. I'm having a few hosting, server and just plain old internet issues, so it may take a few days. Hopefully not longer. I mean, I don't expect anyone to even be reading this... except maybe my boyfriend. XD
