Too Busy to Blog Because...

BLANKETS!

Here are a few I've done recently:

This one I originally did for a friend who's having a baby boy but decided to gift it to Scott's co-worker who wasn't finding out if she was having a boy or girl.

This one I will be giving to my friend having the boy.  The picture was in it's early stages and it ended up with more of a random pattern.  It's way cuter in person.

This picture was also in the early stages of the quilt (aka not sewn together).  I made this blaket for my niece Sarah for Christmas.  

I took this picture of Allyson yesterday, but that quilt behind her and her peanut butter is the first quilt I ever made.  It was way too complicated for a beginer and now I think it's kinda ugly but I made it over 10 years ago and it still exists!  Maybe that means I make quality stuff.

Fridays

Sometimes you just get sleepy and fall asleep face first into the couch.

Things That Make Me Old

A List:

• I like to quilt
• I love Murder She Wrote (love love)
• I can quote most episodes of Golden Girls
• My prefered bedtime is somewhere between 9:30 and 10:00
• I read Agatha Christie novels
• I can crochet and knit
• I've started calling people sweetie
• I have a  light-up Christmas village in my living room
• I usually eat dinner between 4:00 and 5:00
• Shaving my legs is no longer important (except for special occasions)
• I prefer to go into the bank
• I considered taking hot chocolate to the construction men outside my house today
• Certain bones in my body hurt when it's cold outside
• I think I have Arthritis in my hands

Workin' Mama

I got a job at JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts!  I have an income now!  But it's only seasonal and it's only 2 to 3 days a week (maybe 12 hours a week)   But it's something and I get a discount.  Look out world!

I've Been Crocheting!

I was asked to make a few props for my friend Debbie's photography business.  She needed some things for newborn shots.  So here's what I made:

I like this hat.  I might make one for myself.

Below is a cocoon and matching hat.  If you look up baby cocoon on etsy or on google images you'll see what it's supposed to look like.  This doll wasn't exactly the right size and it didn't smush up like babies usually do.  I'm sure Debbie will take much cuter pictures with it.

Another baby cocoon and matching hat, again with the uncooperative baby doll.

So now I totally want to make some hats for myself and my family.  The problem is that we already have hats and Allyson said she didn't want a new one. 

  ...anybody want a purple or orange hat?  If you tell me you love me I might make you one!

I Love Fall

 My idea was to post some old pics from previous Autumns but I didn't really have any good ones except the following:

This is from 2008.  We haven't been back to Pumpkinland, but I sure would love to go again.

This was from last year.  Raking/playing in the leaves.

So... not so many pictures, but I still love Fall!

Funny Queer

Lot's of non-bigoted people have started using the word 'gay' to describe things in a negative way.  That's not cool.  I've been known to do it and it makes me feel kinda bad.  My apologies to all you gays out there who read my blog.


What I've decided to do is to replace the word 'gay' with the word 'queer.'  You may be saying to yourself, "well, Cayce, that's the same thing,"  but I disagree.  The word queer has been used and is still used to mean strange or unusual, so I'm going to use that definition.  I'm going to single-handedly bring that word back to it's original meaning. 


Besides, queer is more fun to say than gay... it does have a Q in it after all. 




... Maybe I'm just being gay queer.
