what's happening?

When the big ball dropped on New Year's Eve bringing in the new year, i made only one resolution. I decided i was finished with resolving to exercise, to eat better, to fit into my skinny-jeans.

i resolved to find ways in my life to live more creatively.

So, here we are into march of twenty-ten and i am pleased to say that i've finally found a resolution that i can stick to for more than three weeks.

I started zentangling just before christmas - it's been great.

I have also been knitting - a pair of legwarmers.

and i've also decided to try my hand at art journaling. So i joined a ning group - A year in the life of an art journal, and that's been very fulfilling as well.

I wanted to share some of the stuff i've done... so stay tuned.

Word!! She's so tough and Stuff

Look at her. Isn't she the cutest thing alive? yes. yes she is. This is the wee little daughter of my very good friends Fourleafclover and V. They marinate themselves some pretty adorable chitlins.

Anyway, a long time ago, i posted on this blog about making my first ever baby sweater, and hat, and booties. Well, here they are in all her glory! She looks so warm, and gangta-ish. like she's ready to totally bust a cap in someone's diaper.

i asked her a while back for a picture to post of her wearing the gear, and she complied shortly after, but then i got busy and wasn't able to get my act together long enough to do it. UNTIL NOW!

There are more things missing from this blog, too. Now that i think about it.

There were a few crafty items that were created as Festivus gifts, and it being Festivus - i didn't want to post anything for fear of them sneakin' a peek.

But a few things are:
A Ceramic Angel that i made for my mother in law - no picture. dang.

A Ceramic Fairy that i made for my sister-in-law, again, no picture... dang

and a Watercolour of a Fairy for the same sister-in-law... again... no picture.

well.

maybe she'll be so kind as to take a picture for me so i can post it. oh, and for Festivus she gave me watercolour paper... her funny way of hinting that she wanted a painting.... lol....

and as one of my new years suggestions was to take up knitting again, maybe i'll post more stuff soon.

booties so cute-y

The only good thing that has come from me being Sick for the last couple of days is that i was able to make these cute little booties for Fourleafclover's cute little bitty baby who is just wee... what is she, two months now? or just a month? anyway, you get the picture. Her name is Ivy, hence the green of the booties instead of the stereotypical pink.

i also made her a little green hat to go with it, but forgot to take a picture of it... so...maybe Fourleafclover will send me a pic of it, perhaps on a baby's head?? hint hint.
