Crocheted Blanket

I know it's been a while! Life has just been a little more stressful than it's needed to be over the last two weeks, so crafting has kind of been pushed to the back burner.

I have, however, been working on the crocheted blanket and am pleased to report it is now finished:



Well, except for all of those tiny little ends that need to be sewn in still. I guess that's the worst part about crocheting in stripes!


In other news, I am returning to work full-time as of today. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet, but I'm pretty sure waking up at 3.45am will make the day feel twice as long as it needs to!

Ahoy there!

I trust that you all had a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We surely did, but I must say that I may have enjoyed the break from blogging just a little too much! It was nice to just relax a bit and to spend time with our family.

Little Snicker had a most wonderful Christmas (even though he didn't really know what was going on) and I was very pleased that he was not overly spoiled! He didn't really understand the concept of presents, but he seemed happy enough having a taste of them all when he thought no-one was watching:

I'm pretty sure his favourite part of Christmas though, was getting wear crazy stuff like santa hats:

reindeer ears:

and the awesome matching Christmas t-shirts his mother made for the family (I think this is going to be an ongoing tradition):

So what does this year hold for me and for the blog? To be honest, I have absolutely no idea!

I am returning to work full time in just under two weeks, so I'm a little nervous about being able to fit everything in...but I am at least going to give it a shot.

I can tell you that I do have some pretty cool stuff lined up, so I hope you'll continue to follow my journey through 2011!
