Craftsy

I have been super, super craftsy lately! For Christmas, RJ got me a giftcard to the Container Store. (which he bought shortly before quiting his job there! Yay!) I bought craft organizing stuff, which has probably spurred my crafting streak.

Here's a list of what I've been working on...

- Two crochet hats for Mara. Super cute. One lavender pixie hat, one white pixie hat with cherries.
- One knit (in the round! First time I've used DPNs!) baby hat.
- A purple crochet hat for me!
- A felted knit, with crochet innards, organizer for all my knitting needles and crochet hooks. They are currently residing in a box, and everytime I need one, I've got to dump them all out and sort for the one I want. I'm not done with this one.
- Fixing two antique marble-top tables. Not so craftsy, but still. They both needed to be cleaned and have bits glued back together.
- A doily made out of rainbow thread. I wanted to do something more intricate. I have no idea what I'll do with it.
- A pinewood derby car! The cub scouts usually provide a saw for the dads to cut out the car, but they didn't this year. So I spent an hour or two this morning with my Dremel, carving out the car shape. It turned out pretty well!

Pics to come soon, but I wanted to get my list out there and start blogging on this blog again!

p.s.- I joined Ravelry. Anyone else on it?
