The beginning of a five day weekend and I am feeling pretty good about that! Here are some photos of WIPs that I am working on during my little break (photos taken and edited with my iPad) .
Reuse, Repurpose, Recycle idea with a positive message coming soon....
Fun project that my boys and I are going to be doing...
Starting a very neon weaving soon - will need my actual camera and better lighting to get a truly accurate portrayal of these colors, once finished. Nice try, iPad.
Various small embroidery and cross stitch projects that I hope to frame and group on the wall soon. I heart Parks and Rec!
Using up some of my yarn supply by making a large striped blanket. This has been a great stress reliever at night lately - especially when paired with watching (and re-watching) episodes of Girls.
Enjoy your weekend and stay warm!

Mint WIP
I know, I'm totally a cool blogger imposter. I do know what WIPs are though so that counts, right? WIP = Work In Progress. Technically I could call myself a WIP, however, I am referring to actual works of mine that are in progress.
A couple of months ago, I became completely obsessed with the color 'Mint'. It's not a color that I typically think about or use. I'm usually more a bright primary color type of person. It started one day at work. I was working in a Microsoft Excel document - jealous, right? I needed to highlight some cells for my own personal use and I was bored with my regular colors. I checked the additional colors and thought, "Hmm...I'll try mint for today." The rest of the day I got excited to see that color. I started to think about mint yarn, mint paper, mint paint...I truly became obsessed. After work on that same day, I drove myself, and my 40% off coupon, to Hobby Lobby and bought some mint yarn. I also bought an ivory colored yarn. I didn't know what I was going to do with it but I felt better just having it in my possession.
I started crocheting some granny squares. After a day or so, I decided that I wanted to make another blanket. I still loving cuddling under my other blanket so why not start a new one?
It won't match anything in my house. It may end up being a gift for someone I love. Who knows when I'll finish it, given my history with crocheting blankets. BUT - I love it already and it's satisfying my mint craving.

Ahh...better already...
I realize the level of nerdiness I have now entered.
