Buy my stuff! :)

So, I have a lot of things that I'm saving money for right now, (such as a trip to Virginia, EFY, a keyboard of my own, an ipod touch:) and I've decided to start selling things I crochet to earn some money. I haven't started yet, so I need some ideas. Would anyone like something specific? And actually, would anyone be willing to buy ANYTHING? I can make cute slouchy beanie hats, little amigurumi polar bears (which could be regular bears with different colors), coin purses, flower clips, pencil cases, etc. I guess I'm self-marketing here. Spread the word that I can make and sell crocheted stuff!!! :) And please, requests. As long as it's not a huge sweater. And remember, this would be really, really helpful!

Wordles

I love wordles. They look super awesome and totally professional. And they're free:) Here are a couple of Shakespeare ones I did. The first one is Much Ado About Nothing, my favorite play:)

The second one is The Tempest:

Anyway I think they're cool and would be a fun idea for a tshirt design.

Happy New Year!!!

I'm back from Christmas vacation. Now, back to schoolwork and seminary. I really miss sleeping in. But, it is all for the good, and I'm starting a new semester in school. For my big class project this term, I have to have a garden. And I have to start very soon, and to start very soon the plants would need to withstand cold weather. So, I'm crossing my fingers and hoping I won't fail this and kill my soon-to-be garden. I will also be helping and working on a new play this year with the Shakespeare class! Presenting.....The Tempest! I'm am very excited to start working on it and I'm sure it's going to be lots of fun. Oh, and I do have one new year's resolution, which is: start reading classics! I haven't read Moby Dick, Les Miserables, Jane Eyre, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, A tale of two cities, ok maybe I should just do authors, Charles dickens, MORE Shakespeare, Jane Austen, L. M. Montgomery, Nathaniel Hawthorne, C. S. Lewis, Louisa May Alcott,............Anyway, that probably will not happen until this summer. When I do start all this, I will hopefully remember to blog and write reviews on these, which will probably be full of spoilers, since I don't like secrets. And if you haven't read the books and you don't like spoilers, I guess you just don't have to read them. What are your resolutions?

Less than a week until Christmas!

Ok, so I've pretty much failed at the Christmas countdown, but I haven't really been able to blog lately. 6 days until Christmas everyone! I am entering last minute panic mode, trying to finish presents and some schoolwork. Christmas gets harder every year, with all the stress of presents, decorating, gift wrapping, etc. Of course, those are all fun things to do, but sometimes it's good to just slow down and remember what Christmas is. Jesus Christ our savior was born, and blessed all of our lives with his miraculous gift. So, I'll get back to making Christmas gifts, but everyone try to remember the reason we're making and giving them in the first place. And, just because, here's one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbes Christmas moments! :)

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas countdown is.....16 days until Christmas! Today we went to church and sacrament meeting was nice. Hopefully today I can get some work in on Christmas presents. Have a nice Sunday everyone!

Birthdays!

Today is December 8, Sydney and Sabrina's birthday! I have a devil's food cake in the oven, they opened presents a little while ago, and now they're playing with their new toys. Today we also got a Christmas tree. It is a classic Christmas tree. It's just how a Christmas tree should be:) I sound like a little kid. And of course, the Christmas countdown, 17 days until Christmas! I need to get a move on making presents. Seems like I'm always finishing presents at the last minute. Well anyway, enjoy your Saturday!

St. Nikolaus Tag, twins' birthdays, and Countdown to Christmas!

Yesterday night St. Nikolaus(or St. Nicholas, if you prefer) came! For those of you who are confused about Santa coming, no, we don't celebrate Christmas early. St. Nikolaus Tag is a German tradition where everyone puts a shoe out December 5, and St. Nikolaus comes during the night and puts candy in all the shoes! Of course, there're lots of different legends about St. Nicholas, so I'll let you go look that up yourself on Wikipedia. It's a super fun tradition that our family has celebrated for as long as I can remember. Tomorrow, December 8, is the birthday of two very special girls. They are super excited to turn seven! I can't believe they'll be old enough to get baptized in a year. Crazy, right? So in addition to Christmas presents I'm making birthday presents. I'm kind of excited about them too:) And, last but not least, I'm starting a late Christmas countdown. 18 days until Christmas everyone! Merry Christmas!
