Oh mah goodness!

It seems as though I've neglected to update.

Mostly due to the fact that I've been busy learning new things and making Christmas presents!!

I haven't been cooking much lately on account of laziness, however I did pick up knitting, crocheting, and making scarves out of scraps of fabric.

I made a scarf out of fabric for my friend, Andrea, but I did not get to snap any photos of it before giving it to her, because I was just really excited. Next time I see her in it I'll have to take photos. Unless I end up making one for myself, which is very probable, seeing as though if she wasn't my best friend I'd probably have ended up keeping the thing for myself. :P

Anyhoo, this Christmas was a great success. For a lot of reasons! My brother is staying with us at my dads house because my mom has been staying in Hawaii. She took a last minute vacation, and has been doing things like this ever since I left around 6-7 months ago. Oh well!

I'm almost finished knitting a scarf for my dad for Christmas, it's nearly done. I have to take photos of this one because it's my first knitting project and it's coming out really nice looking. The multicolored yarn makes it look like I put zig-zags of burgundy and tan into the black. It's coming along really well.

On the cooking front, I recently purchased two bags of strawberries and blueberries. I'm going to experiment with them because I also bought a lot of flower and a 10lb bag of sugar.

So be prepared for new recipes!

I also need to write down the recipe for this really nicely made spicy soup that I came up with one day after I had a little container full of veggies like tomatoes, squash, carrots, celery, and etc. It was like a small vegetable dipping tray with ranch dressing, and I even went so far to add the ranch dressing into the soup. It came out surprisingly delicious. I'll have to try to remember it.

Anyway(again), I've been drawing a lot too lately, maybe I'll put those up.

Well, it's about time I put a photo of something up, so up there is a collage of angles from a camera case I crocheted the other day. It's my first finished crocheted project, and I'm very proud of it. I didn't have an exact pattern for it, I just kind of started crocheting a single chain stitch(or whatever it is, I'm not that technical with the terms yet), made a bunch of rows, folded the thing to make it look like the case, and crocheted the sides together. And added a button with some messy threads. I'll even go so far as to say the mess was on purpose, but you wont believe me.

I promise I'll start taking more photos of the things that I've been doing, give you more recipes, and talk about fun stuff. Hehe. For now I've got to finish making a scarf and a pot holder and a belated messenger bag for my boyfriend that has been promised for a few months now!

Anyway, have a great holiday, and I'll post again sometime next year. :P
