Christmas Gifts: Part I

I've been busy making Christmas gifts the last few weeks.

 Yarn wreath

 Map coasters

 

Thanksgiving

 I'm celebrating Thanksgiving with a brand new deer wreath. I got the idea for wrapping a straw wreath in yarn from take heart. I always thought wreaths were sort of mawkish, but now I've seen the light.

 

Feeling Cross

I'm really into cross stitch right now. I've been working on a few designs of my own. But until they're finished, please enjoy these...

*I know that this one makes me a huge dork. But I thought it was hilarious.

School is cool

I've been assigned a few video projects for one of my classes. Here is one of them. I actually have a lot of fun working on them. 

New Interest Alert!

Songs I Like

New Favorite Store

I just found my new favorite store American Science & Surplus. Here's a taste of the amazing merchandise they offer, but there is so much more.

Grumbacher Library How-to-do-it Books

Flintstones Font Pack*

Bike Bell and Bike Horn

The Field and Forest Handy Book

*Super bummed that I own a Mac now. 

Good Things Come in Small Packages

I promise to update more this month. I was swamped with school, work, and projects during September. I have some great photos of Rachel and Justin's (of Rabbits & Snails) wedding. Almost everything thing was DIY and it looked amazing!

I got this fortune last week.

I'm pretty sure I already know what my small lucky package will be. It's top secret and will take a few years to arrive, but it's the best news I've heard in a long time.
