WOW!! I'm Alive Honestly

Okay, so I don't have pictures for this post, I left my SD card at home. I meant to bring it. . . but honestly, in the morning I am lucky to be wearing my glasses, and I can't see very well! Hahaha

So, since I have a break tonight, I will post pictures of Valentine's Day stuff!

I got Tom a Wii Wares game, and he got me some wine! LOL what a pair! 100% Cherry wine which is really yummy. OH! we live in the Cherry Capital of well, I think the world. Good ol' Michigan! :) So we have a lot of different cherry items here. However, they are all very good tasting, and good for your body!

I am also happy to say, that I am getting closer and closer to opening my shop up! The spare room in our house has turned into my crafting space, stuff everywhere. Plus I had a few private orders to item, like hats and cowls to be knit. Which is nice because those will pay for my hair-cut this Friday LOL!!! I will have to take a before and after picture. Now, my natural hair color is just not appealing, it is a mix in between a dirty blonde, and a light brown, but honestly, with my pale skin, it's not great! I've done the lighter blonde now for a few years. But felt like it was getting flat and boring. So I've been transitioning towards a brunette. Comments? suggestions?
My fiance, Tom likes the darker look too. I'm not talking SUPER dark brunette, but a little chestnut look I think.

Remember to Close the Door

So, Saturday is our usual day to go shopping and any other errands we need to do. However, this fateful Saturday we came home to this.







Yarn was everywhere! Living room, kitchen, bedroom. Yeah.

I am closing the closet door where I keep all of my yarn from now on. I'm normally really good at doing this, but for some cosmic brain relapse reason, I just didn't this time.

I love my cats, but honestly, they are little devils!

Now Fav Fridays!!





Earlier this week I got my Oh Sweet Joy polka dot button earrings. I LOVE!! them Oh my! Honestly, I might just have to order another pair I love them soo much. I've been wearing them everyday :)

Please check out Kim's shop Trust me on this one!









Last Saturday, Tom and I took a trek out to Cedar, MI. (not really that far from us though) Tucked away in Cedar is an adorable yarn shop called Wool & Honey.
I fell in love with this shop! I also bought my first hanks of malabrigo yarn.
I love this stuff soo much now!! The red one is sock yarn, which, though I have knit baby socks, I have yet to tackle a pair for myself! Here I GO!!!





tshirtforwearing has this awesome sewing machine tee. I love it! Oh how I wish the weather would turn warmer that I could wear this!

















I have been staring at sandy a la mode's shop for a long time. Finally, yesterday I decided on which bow I wanted. It was a hard choice! I might have to indulge more! But I think the evangeline grey and yellow bow was a good choice. It will go with a lot!

Now, for some reason, I cannot think of summer or even spring because of all the cold and snowy weather we have had, but! a knitter must plan her projects in advance. Wool and humid summer's just don't make good friends. HOWEVER!!!! knitbot has solved my summer knitting needs. This wispy cardi uses malabrigo lace yarn, light weight perfect for summer!! What a winner!!!! :)

I have also been pondering what to wear for Super Bowl Sunday to show my team spirit! I am not really big into football, (hockey all the way) but my fam holds a party each year. Now, I usually root for the team that is winning in the square that I bought, but I thought I should make something to show my spirit. I made a test product last night, but I will have something better up tomorrow! :)

However, tonight is PEARL'S NIGHT!!!! If you are in the Northern Michigan Area and have never been to Pearl's! there is something wrong with you. They have awesome Crawfish and Cornchowder soup!! I dream about this stuff! sooooo good.

Have a good Friday everyone!!! Don't forget winners will be announced tomorrow Saturday February 5!!!!
