Project 365: Days 34-36

Day 34:

Dalen and I went to meet Mr. Fix It's Mom for lunch and she gave Dalen this adorable Valentine puppy. He loves it so much he walks around saying "Puppy!" all day long!

Day 35:

I have begun the new knitting project. It's called Bias Blanket and the pattern can be found here. It's actually pretty easy and is going fast. I found all my yarn at Walmart. They are the Vanna White baby yarn. I love the colors.

Day 36:

I have talked Mr. Fix It's Mom into making a rag quilt for us. But in doing that, I've enlisted my own cutting services. I am using old clothes from my Grandparents, both our parents, our clothes, and even some of Dalen's. I am also using some fabric that I've found out of my Great-Grandmother's stash of quilting material.

This will be my life for the foreseeable future.


I've gotten 5 blocks done!

We are getting pounded by snow right now. We decided that we needed to go to the grocery store to get some things before it started. Instead of doing this in a quick manner, we spent an hour eating in Ruby Tuesdays, which was delicious (I ate an awesome Santa Fe Chicken Salad.), then we went to Lowe's to buy supplies to remodel our laundry room. Pictures of that will coming soon. Then we finally made it around to going to Krogers, where we also spent more time than we should have. It had started snowing about half way into our dinner by the way. On the way home before we even got out of Athens we about did not make it up a hill, but almost made it over it insead. I cannot say I have never been so scared in my life because I don't remember an instance, but I could be wrong. I was really freakin scared, lets just leave it at that. Thank God we made it home safely! We were at least smart enough to leave Dalen with my parents while we went. If he would've been with us I would've been hysterical I'm sure. But also, I seriously doubt we would've went at all. Now that we are home safe and sound hopefully we can enjoy the snow from the comfort and warmth of our home.
