crafting

I was crafty on my snowday yesterday. I finished one layout with my December Cocoa Daisy kit. Still need to add the journaling at the top right though. I really am loving getting those kits. It has also cut down on my supply spending and simplified the whole process. I actually scrap more with them. Instead of sitting at my desk overwhelmed with choices I have been taking out the kit and a few other supplies and just working. I had originally bought a 3-month membership for my birthday in Sept but I continued if for another 3 months. I think I will keep it going.

I also knitted this weekend and finished 2 really quick projects. A chunky cabled cowl and hat. I keep seeing these chunky cowl's in stores like the Gap for $30 - $40. Well...this one was one ball of yarn for $5! Nice quality yarn too - Sirdar Big Softie. The hat took 2 balls. So the entire set was made for $15. And it took a day to knit. Can't beat that! Excuse the terrible self-taken shot of me with messy hair. Plus I am not the best "hat person!"

Anyhow...I've been in a funk last night and this a.m. Not sure why. But they say "you choose your attitude." So I'm going to choose to be in a better mood and scrap some more...I have today off since school is out for break. But I go back to work tomorrow and Wednesday. Then...vacation!

Happy Monday!
