Super Bowl Sunday!

Wow I've been a terrible blog slacker.  I really have no excuse, except that I find it more entertaining to read other people's blogs than actually write my own.

This weekend is parent's weekend here at school.  I forget how loud the boys actually are until they are gone.  It was really quiet around here last night :)

One of my latest projects was making a Kindle case for myself.  I used this pattern.  I liked it for the most part.  I learned how to moss stitch, and I think I like this stitch.  I did have to make a few adjustments to the pattern.  I basically just had to make it wider and longer to fit my kindle (but this may be because I crochet very tightly!).  Also, when I stitched up the sides I turned it inside out, so when I turned it right side out the top is a little wider than the sides.  Oh well, for my first attempt it wasn't terrible.



I've also been experimenting with more monster hats.  I made two baby hats (6 month size) with ear-flaps and ties.  They were probably the best hats I've made so far, and I only took one crappy cell phone picture :(

But I've heard happy things from both babies (and their mamas)!  I was really worried about the size, since I've had two size failures so far, but they both fit great! 

I'm still debating about opening an Etsy store.  Not really sure if I want to pay a portion of all sales to Etsy, as well as a listing fee...

In other news, it's Super Bowl Sunday!  I'm excited to watch the commercials :)  It's pretty big news in these parts since the Pats are playing, but I'm secretly rooting for the Giants. 

Also, I'm going to make some cookie dough dip (don't worry, no raw eggs!)  and I'm pretty stoked to try it out.  I've been in a cookie mood lately.  I made cookie dough bites and chocolate chip cookies the other day... Good thing I've been running lately ;)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We are spending time in Michigan until Saturday night.  I am definitely enjoying being so close to the grocery store and to the mall!

Today we are spending time with both families eating and hanging out.  I am beyond stoked to get some green bean casserole!

I'm still deciding if I want to go out and shop tonight/tomorrow morning, but there isn't really anything I need...
