Step one of the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle plan. I love shopping for my fruits and veggies in my basket and not collecting a bunch of plastic bags.
I also like remembering to take my crocheted hemp grocery bag. I will reuse these items many, many times!
The photo pretty much sums it up. Too darn cute! Great for family outings because you can keep track if everyone wears the same hat! Going to have to work on child sizing, this one for an 8 month old, need to do elastic hats that grow with the baby.
I just have to share the beautiful colors that I got for my arm warmers! Plus, I found the scarf I am going to make. It's the Garden Scarf from my Stitch 'n Bitch Crochet book! YAY! :)
Recently we've been listening to guided sleep meditation music before and during sleeping! It's the most amazing and thorough sleep that I've ever achieved. I've always been a good sleeper, it is one of my favorite things to do. Now, it's like power sleeping, the most REM in an 8 hour period, the better. I feel more alive during the day, I am happier and more excited and energetic. I think that you will just have to try it to see what I mean.
My first ever local yarn store purchase happened after work the other day. Yah, after work, I got myself a office job to support my yarn habit, well that and other important life needs. I stopped by Yarn Garden on Hawthorne to browse for something to make myself some arm warmers with. I found a 50% wool and 50% alpaca in this beautiful earthy orange. Upon purchasing this wonderful new exciting yarn I learned about how they roll it into a ball for you. Exciting I know, and how could this be my first such experience? That's the best question of all because I am not sure how I've been able to keep myself away from this. Must of been the lack of income and knowledge. But oh well, sometimes the best things in life are just worth waiting for and yes, I am still talking about yarn.
Anyway, I decided to make rectangles that I am going to sew leaving a hole for my thumb. Since, I've decided that I will have to go back and purchase the brown and green to embroider some branches and leaves before sewing. I am using the tuscan stitch which is perfect for embroidery. I really hope that I get them done before it gets too warm to wear them. I've been working on them on the bus while I commute. Yay! arm warmers!
