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 ;)

Woah!

Time sure has been flying lately!  I can't believe it's already November 6!

Lately I have been wasting spending lots of time on Pinterest.  Which is both good and bad.  On the plus side, I've found lots of cute crafts and recipe ideas (which I have actually been making!).  On the minus side, I've been spending LOTS of time searching and searching and searching and finding so many cute things I will never be able to make them all!  Oh well, it's still fun.

Last week was filled with doctor appointments.  Mostly for normal things.  It just stinks that it takes over a half hour to get to the doctor, so a huge chunk of your morning is gone by the time you are back home.

I have discovered a new grocery store (Hannaford) which is amazing!  I love it so much more than the other store I was going to.  They even have Chobani for one dollar regular price!  I'm in love :)

I'm making Mark a scarf.  Let's see how long this takes me.  I've tried knitting, but so far have been very unsuccessful.  I get how to do it, but the last stitch is always super loose because I don't think I hold the needles close enough together.

Right now I'm watching the Patriots - Giants game.  I'm very entertained by how poorly Tom Brady is performing.  I find it funny, but I should probably not mention it to any of the boys because most of them are huge Patriots fans.

This post is super super random.  Oh well.
