A Young Maiden's Daybook- November 2, 2009

Today… Monday, November 2, 2009

Outside my window… The sun is coming out and I hope that means it won't be bitter cold out today.

I am thinking… That the pictures I printed are ever better than I thought they were when I took then!

My sister and me share a room together and since we now have a trundle bed I don't think we'll be moving out room around anymore.  There just isn't enough room!

I am thankful for… My family.

I am wearing… Jeans, a cranberry colored t-shirt and a white vest.

 I am reading… Organizing your day, Cooking Italian with kids (I found it at our library and all the recipes seem easy, Crocheting in Plain English, Afghans & Throws, Seams to Me.
Don't think I'm reading all of these books cover to cover!  I'm looking for more projects!!
I almost forgot to mention that I was trying to read, How to Pray Well By. Raoul Plus, S.J
I got it from the Catholic Company. I said trying because its a little over my head at the moment maybe in a few years I'll be able to understand it.
 I am creating… A blanket for my Pepere.  I have two more skeins of yarn and if I work on it when I watch TV, I might be done in a couple weeks if not earlier.

One of my favorite things… Yarn!  I have a whole box full.


For education this week… The curriculum my siblings and me use is Seton Home School.  The nice thing about it is Catholic and the curriculum tells you what week your on and exactlly what to do!


A keeper at home skill I am using/learning… Cleaning.  One of my chores my mom likes me to do is vacuuming.


A godly character trait I plan to work on… Patience, I think everyone could use some.

For the rest of the week… I'll be working on finishing my first quarter of school. And hopefully posting again very soon.

A picture I’d like to share…

These are some lilacs from this summer.

I think they are so pretty.

Fabric and yarn projects!!!

Okay so I took some pictures of my fabric and a few of some crocheting projects that I'm working on right now. I have all sorts of plans to make bags and stuff ! But to start any of them I really need to get some interfacing I just have to be patient! The time will come!

This stack is just scraps that I've collected from projects and yard sales I'm not sure what to do with them but there are so big pieces.



This is the stack of fabric that I'm planning to make bags with.

This is one of my favorite fabrics! I zoomed in so you can see the detail.
I love this print!! Purple with a creative design.

This is another favorite!

This is an over view of all of my favorite fabric I love it so much I don't know what to make!




Some knew yarn that I got at our local yarn shop.


The finished project of two scarves the red one is hard to see.


This is the start of a blanket that I'm making for my Pepere but I ended up taking apart because it was curling (I'm always tight in the beginning!!)

This is all of the yarn that I have for my blanket project! I don't think you can see but there are two shades of blue. I got all of this yarn at Michael's. And I'm using a size I crochet hook.

Friends Website

I just wanted to share my friends website with you all. She would love for you to check it out!
She's working on making videos about making jewelry. I'm so inspired and can't wait to start my own projects! Here it is http://www.youtube.com/eclecticdesigns

Have a good nights sleep!

Summer!

I can't wait for warmer weather!

I don't have any plans for the summer like traveling or anything. Just the plain old thing babysitting, reading, swimming and just whatever.

Do you have plans for the summer? Are you going anywhere? Please post a comment!

I'm planning on starting another blanket for my Pepere but I need to get more yarn. Its not that I don't have yarn but I don't have any right for a blanket. I really want to use all of my yarn so that I can get some more (just what I need!). Right now I'm crocheting a dark green scarf I don't know who its for. I don't always have someone in mind when I start something.

I'm also thinking of some sewing projects. I have tons of fabric but no interfacing! I have some bag patterns and I got a sewing book last Christmas. I'll see if I can post some pictures of my fabric later its in a box that really heavy!
I like this, this, I really would like to make this. Heres the whole website!

Do you like to sew? What have you made?
