2012 Please Be Kind

Yeah it was a long hard year. I'm hoping 2012 is kinder, gentler. At least I got some awesome knitting done these past few days.

I had a friend tell me not to buy yarn as she has a BIG container full....yay!

More good news. I got a library card yesterday. Let the borrowing begin.

Eating, Beading, Knitting, Sleeping 228/365

Stash busting. It feels so good with no headache. I made two more bracelets and finished the skully hat I started yesterday. Whoooooooop! I will go to bed somewhat near my regular time (midnight) after I watch project Runway. Anybody want some toast and jam?

Dale is a GENIUS!!! 79/365

Dale has begged for a skully hat for quite some time. Her turn finally came up and she asked for one with gray,black and white to match a shawl she made.....hmmmmmmmmm...I only use two colors. How will this work?

Turns out it worked very very well! I now declare Dale...the GENIUS of RANKIN!

Noah's Gifts (Skully hats rule!) 53/365

I told Noah Scalin (of Skull a Day fame) I had a hat for him. Well I wanted to wait until his 365 Journal book got here before I posted this...IT CAME TODAY!!!! So here's your hat and another wee skull giftie for you Noah. (I'm really sick because I missed getting a picture of a cool hand painted Truck with skulls on it Sunday. Would have been awesome on your blog)

Can't wait to start my journal!

Skully Hats for Holt's Niece and Nephew 46/365

Holt requested two hats for his niece and nephew (I am assuming they are in Canada,eh). Guess which one is for the niece...seriously, guess.

Lexi has a Thick Skull hat 26/365

Hahahahahah that's what I wrote down when Wolfy asked for one of the hats like she bought for her mom last year...:Thick Skull Hat for Lexi" I meant a skull hat made out of thick yarn lol.

I still have a wee bit of yarn left. Guess it's time for one more scrap hat and I can close the door on the thick and quick yarn.

Hats for Mike,Doug and Lexi 4/365

I'm hoping these hats will be well received. They are for my friends in South Carolina. Mike and his little sister, Lexi, and Doug who I had the pleasure of meeting at Pond/frog Fest this year. (I met Mike 2 years ago at Fest...he rocks!) They are made from a bulky white yarn Leslie gave me and a thinner white acrylic Pam gave me with black from my own purchases.

There are two of the thicker hats...one is hiding behind the other.

I'm linking this post to the Skull a Day for obvious reasons.

One More Skully 351/365

Going to Japan with the two purple/white ones

Ugh I had a migraine today...I think it's tied to my darling PERIOD which got me Wednesday...go away already why don't ya?

Frantic Friday 346/365

Yes, I forgot to post yesterday. Yes, I have a reason...I was TIRED! It was a freaky, frantic Friday.

I got a payment in the mail for crazy quilt fabric, an order for another purple and white skully hat (That makes three I have to make plus a white and black one) and a small order off etsy.com for the mini bundles of fabric.

At 2:45 PM I took off for the high school to work the concession stand for PTA and OMG it was soooooooooo busy in there not to mention cramped and hot. I bet my drawer had $500 in it when we finally told the people in line we had to close up. We sold out of a  lot of things. It was crazy.

When I got home Jack had good news. He is being somewhat promoted and will be working at Schriever Airforce Base until at least the first of next year. They even gave him a foreman's phone.

So after talking about that for a bit I asked him to drive me downtown to the college to catch the Josh Blue show. Hopped in the car, drove down, got dropped off, went in to get tickets, saw this:

Called Jack, ran back outside, got in car, went to Dairy Queen and Liquor store and home to crash...whew!

Here's the first hat I got done...long day again today...later tater...

I'll Trade You...102/365
