Old and New Adventures

Just finished another hooked mat and it's bound...hooray! That is one of my goals this year keep up on the binding :)

Another goal is trying new things...I'm taking a couple of online classes just for fun and it also works into my schedule.



The first one is a Life Journal of 2012...going to try and document 2012 and a few things I did along the way.



This project is a class by Stephanie of Homegrown Hospitality.


Next a class in creating something everyday for 30 days.


It's a class of doodling, painting, sketching, taking photos. and looking for inspiration in what is around you. Here is my lil' doodle and watercolor inspired by Kiwi fruit.
This class is by Alisa Burke...stop by her blog you will be amazed at what she creates and with a new lil' baby girl.

And if that isn't enough new starts....



I have been crocheting since I was just a lil' kid but have decided I want to try knitting so found some good online videos and talked with a lady in a yarn shop about some sites online to check out and look it's not pretty by any means but it's a beginning!

So I encourage you to step out of the comfort zone and give something new a try!

Hook and Ink

I had a wonderful time today going to the monthly rug hooking. A big thanks to my Mom~in~Law for watching Sloan so I could go. We had such a good time. My pics of all the rugs that everyone made didn't turn out so be sure and stop by Pati's blog to see the beautiful pieces! I started this chairpad and had it finished when I left....quick and easy and a pattern by Wendy Miller of The Red Saltbox.





This evening I've been doodling around and I've been having fun trying out all kinds of faces. I read a book about using alphabet letters as part of the face. I used a few in some of them...

Well the talk of the state is all the Earthquakes and it is a bit of an eerie feeling. Then we have had lots of much needed rain even some flooding in areas....It's been one crazy year of weather!
