The Finished Product

The dress, not the girl! (Still working on her!)
And other cute pictures from prom.

For whatever reason, I can't add the picture for the felted hat. maybe later

Felting

I tried something new over the weekend...Felting! Felting is when you use a wool yarn and then shrink it down so it no longer looks like yarn, but felt. I found a super easy pattern for free on the internet at Crochet Me. I was very sceptical about it because when I finished crocheting, it looked like it would fit Shrek. But I added hot water, and TADAH...a cute little hat. It was so easy, I want to make more. So guess what I am giving for Christmas? Too bad all those difficult people I give to don't want a cute felted hat! I still need to add a few braids which I will add BEFORE felting next time, but I was so excited, I just couldn't wait.

Good Things:
1. learning something new
2. being excited about it
3. getting Christmas started

More of the Same

Yes, more of the same. That just means life keeps going so I run to keep up. Nothing spectacular or noteworthy really at my house. Just the usual. B starts regional playoffs in soccer today. Going in with the # 1 seat in our division with an 18-1 record. D is done with soccer, finished 3rd in his division. K is loving college and I think doing well. She got a part-time job and also volunteers at an afterschool program. G is now working with the deacons in young men's, which is good because D is there. I have gotten back into the gym and doing well, I just figured out how to breathe so I don't go home with a headache everyday. Last week I canned some green tomato raspberry jam and some green salsa. Both are yummy! I have also been working on a prom dress, (which is based loosely on this pattern, as always) table runner, and scrap blanket. Things are good, just more of the same!
