First blankets

I have never made a blanket before. But, I managed to make two. One was for a friend; I purchased her fabric to be used for one of Shonda's photo shoots, and then I took the fabric back after the photo session, and made a blanket out of it. In theory I was really excited about this idea, so I learned how to make a simple blanket by testing one on Trenton first. Here are both. It was pretty fun, and I think they turned out alright. :D





And.. while out running around, we spotted this license plate. While I have NO idea how to knit...I'm not sure that I would EVER think that the TYPE of people knitting would have THIS kind of thing on their car.

Look what I did!

Ok... so I got another creative streak and look what happened! I can't wait for Simon to sport this out in public.

I made truffles


I did it. Although, they didn't quite turn out like I wanted.

I was making these little truffles to drop off at friends houses, but only a few turned out even half decent. So instead, I have been slowly eating them. I think slowly eating doesn't seem like.. really eating. See, if I sat down in one sitting and devoured (let's say) 5 of these truffles, I'd feel yucky. But since I eat one... wait awhile, then eat another, and then later... think about just one more. Then I forget that I'm eating them and continue going back until they are all gone.

I will send this formal apology for being modest about the poor chocolate dipping job, and promise that if I EVER make truffles again, I will share with others and not eat them all myself.
