Day 192: Craftivism

Today Megan and I did some crafting for a good cause. We made Valentine's Day cards for Etsy's Special Delivery project, which delivers the cards to elderly folks on Valentine's Day with Citymeals-on-Wheels. It was an easy and fun way to get some warm fuzzies. Generally I loathe Valentine's Day and anything associated with it, so it was nice to look at it a different way and try to brighten someone else's day.

Day 177: Vision

My vision board, in progress. It's finished now and I love it and I'm going to hang it in my room.

Day 176: Stephanie II

This weekend Stephanie came up from Springfield and she, Megan, and I made vision boards. Friday night was spent eating pizza, drinking beer, and flipping through magazines searching for anything that reminded us of what we want for 2011.

Day 130: Crochet

Last night was the closest I have come to forgetting to take a photo since I started this project. I was actually getting into bed, ready to watch some Lost episodes with Tim, when I sat up and started chanting, "I have to take a photo! I have to take a photo!" Panicked, I snapped a shot of some of my latest crochet projects sitting on the dresser. Crisis averted.

Day 124: Scarf III

I figured that if I'm planning to give scarves as Christmas gifts, I should probably get started...

Day 120: Scarf II

Behold, my latest creation! Finishing a crochet project is so satisfying, even if it's not perfect (they never are...).

Day 11: Scarf

Yesterday I finished my second on-my-own crochet project. Mom still helped, of course, but I can say I did this one start to finish. Still not ready to do self-portraits yet, so the scarf got to act as a wine bottle cozy for this shot. I bought some yarn yesterday, so I'm ready to start my next crochet project!
