Crochet Mini Heart
Today I was crocheting some balls for my kids, when I had a whim to make some crochet hearts. I had already chained two and rather than stop and look up a pattern online, I decided to just improvise. I think it turned out well enough to share. I used Patons Classic Wool in Petal Pink with my H/8 hook. I think I will send the one with the hanging loop to my husband in his Valentine’s Day Care Package. That is, if my daughter doesn’t claim them all for her self!

Sketching with Colored Pencils
My five year old daughter loves to color and draw, so I joined her in drawing with colored pencils. The first pencil I picked up was Orchid which gave me the inspiration for my sketch. It is my goal this year to try and sketch a little bit each day. In high school my sketchbook was my constant companion, but since then I have rarely drawn much of anything. For being so rusty I was actually pretty impressed with this sketch, so I thought I would share it here. Feel free to tell me what you think. One thing I have gained in the years since I last sketched was thick skin. I can take criticism in stride. In high school I would have likely cried.

Join Our Censorship Protest!
Have you been paying attention to all the hubbub online about the proposed U.S. legislation (SOPA/PIPA) that threatens internet freedom? I wrote about it last week over on WordPress.org, but the gist is this: there’s a bill in the U.S. Senate that if passed would put publishing freedom severely at risk, and could shut down entire sites at the whim of media companies. Fight for the Future created this nifty video to sum it up better than I can. http://vimeo.com/31100268 On January 18, 2012, sites all …

Day One – Crochet Hat for Hubby!
Hi and welcome to my brand spankin new blog. I just love to dabble in all sorts of crafts and I plan on sharing my crafts with you.
Today I am working on Crocheting a hat for my husband. He is in the army, and his shaved head gets cold, so I am making a hat to send out to him in Afghanistan. It is pretty cold there this time of year, so I’m sure he will appreciate it. I will post some more pictures when it is finished.
A nice short entry for Day One here, but I want to finish this hat!
