Happy Little Cloud

What in the world am I doing up at 2:27 am you may be wondering? Well it is the only time I can really get things done and I might have accidently took a several hour nap with E this afternoon, (which resulted in me picking up D 30 min. late form school, but that’s another story) so I am not really all that tired.

It just so happens that my adorable niece is turning two and celebrating with a rainbow party this weekend. As soon as I saw this sweet little cloud tutorial here, I had to make it for her.

I think mine turned out ok and I really, really hope little Miss Evie like’s it!

Scarf : Seven years in the making

About seven years ago a friend of mine gave me my first pair of knitting needles and some beautiful blue yarn. She taught me to knit a basic scarf and I diligently worked on it a little here and there. I would pull it out every winter determined to finish it. Then spring and eventually summer, with 100 degree weather, would come and I couldn't bare the thought of a scarf so it would sadly sit unfinished until the next winter. Well long story short I finally finished it!


I love the rich color contrast between the royal blue and my oh so pale skin. It makes me happy. My own little symbol of perseverance and pride in a completed task. Since I started this project I also learned to crochet and have completed many projects. I think it may be a bit easier for me than knitting but I am glad to know how to do both!
