Yarn bombing?!

So I don't know if you guys have heard of a little thing called yarn bombing, but it is super awesome! So according to wikipedia yarn bombing is, "a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted cloth rather than paint or chalk." I didn't even know this existed until my dad showed me this article on npr . I looked on google and found all of these "attacks" that I thought were super cute and fun.

Its such a shame that there are people put there who take this stuff down. It's so cute right?! If you were out on the street and you saw this, wouldn't you take a picture? This stuff is so creative and fun how could you hate it! And shame on those people who take this stuff down. It's too cute to hate! Just let the public see it for a couple of days. Have you ever heard of this? Isn't it just the cutest thing in the world?!

Another One Bites the Dust!

I successfully finished yet another afghan this weekend! I've be working on this for a few weeks now, so I'm glad to see it finally done. I made this so it'd match my room, and it does magically! It was also my first time doing a scalloped edge on an afghan and I think I'm in love!

These are photos of the afghan in making and now the finished product!

I'm so happy about this because its all for me! :) So I've started a new afghan I've named "Granny Hyacinth" and it is a birthday present for one of my friends.

I love it already. Kind of jealous. I just might keep it.... : P Anyways, I hope everyone else is having a wonderful weekend? Anything exciting happening with you guys?

Finished Afghan // happy Easter!

I've had the most fantastic weekend! I got just hang out with my family and crochet. Also watched lots of movies. Let see, The Kids are All Right, Arthur (Both the old one and the new), Rio, Easy A and .... I believe that it. All of them were Fantastic movies might I add! But the best thing I did this weekend was.... FINISH AN AFGHAN!

I finished it, then sent it on its marry way!

I'm so glad this one went to a person who is not in my family haha. that makes it even more fun!

Now that this one is done, I can finish up on the other 3 I'm workin on. Im almost done with the one I am working on for my room. I feel like I only have about... 3 more rows?

I'm going to do a scalloped edge on this one because I also learned how to do that this weekend. I hope everyone else had a wonderful easter!

Puppy Chow/ afghan updates

I made some puppy chow today! This sounds weird, I know. Why am I making food for a puppy when I don't even have one? Well, puppy chow isn't a food for dogs, it is a delicious combination of chex cereal, peanut butter, chocolate and powdered sugar. How does that combination not sound AMAZING?! Well it is and it is EXTREMELY easy to make. ALl you gotta do is....
Measure out the stuff:

Melt it in the microwave and stir it up:

Pour it over the 9 cups of chex cereal:

Stir the mixture until all of the cereal is covered in chocolatey goodness. Then put the cereal in a plastic bag with the powdered sugar and shake until completely coated. Then, place somewhere to cool:

The end! You're done! How easy is that?!

Other news, I got some new yarn today in the mail. Colors red and navy. It's for the Barcelona  afghan. I also started putting squares together, check it out!

It's gonna look SUPER rad! can't wait! Tomorrow is going to be a huge day. I have choir try-outs and my lovely aunt Nelda is coming from Texas to come pay a visit : ) I love her to pieces and I haven't seen her in FOREVER so I can't wait to see her! She's coming to my competition on saturday too, which is pretty exciting because no one in my extended family has ever come to one of my competitions so this means so much : ) I hope I'll get a lot of crocheting done this weekend and I hope all of you have fun plans for the weekend too!
Au revoir,

8-bit Question mark box afghan.... Whaaaat?

As you know my brother's birthday was on Friday. My gift fir him is going to be an 8-bit question mark afghan!

It's going to look similar to this. And I totally know that the one on the graph paper is a super crappy drawing but I did it in like 10 minutes... hahaha. I've only made like 10 grannies so I decided not to show them.

also, I got a ton more yarn. Hobby Lobby had free shipping, so I couldn't resist. Anyways Hope everyone has had a good week so far!

Barcelona Afghan/ Bequeathed iPad

Well I actually had a purty busy weekend. I spent a lot it crocheting though : ) So like I was telling you I've started 3 new projects! The one I am currently working on is for one of my brothers friend who wanted me to make him an afghan of the colors of the soccer team for Barcelona. which are navy, gold and red. I am going to make 108  granny squares! and connect them all together with red yarn. I've gotten 30 done so far.

30 of those suckers in 2 days! I'm so proud of myself haha : ) I'll share more about my other 2 projects when I get started on them : P But anyways! This is gonna be exciting! I'm going to try to finish this afghan by... Monday, 18 April. Hopefully I'm make that deadline!

Another exciting thing that happened this weekend was I bequeathed my brother's old iPad! Since the booger got a new one my parents game me his old one and I am in love! : )

It's totally amazing. I love it so much it's like the most handiest thing ever! I'm so glad I got it! I've been playing angry bird like all day today because my cousin showed me how awesome it was! How have I been living without this?! it's FANTASTIC! Do you play angry birds too?

I'm definitely glad I bequeathed this iPad! I am forever grateful of my lovely brother Andy : )

I also haven been working on my afghan for my bed, which has a lot more left to do, by the way. But I have been making progress on that so I'm happy.

I hope everyone else had a wonderful weekend. Dreading going back to school tomorrow. Spring break has been amazing! Don't want it to end!

My Brother's birthday!

Yesterday was my brother's birthday! It was really a fun day. I made these raspberry brownies. Yum! and I made mini peach pies!

It was a lot of fun, and a lot of baking! Which is still super fun. Our day was pretty chill we hung out at my house so my brother could get the iPad 2! Its super rad! Andy took a picture of me attempting to high-5 myself : P

A failed attempt but it was still funny! It totally looks like my room is a mess in the background, but this is only because I was trying to make a sample granny square, which is not excuse I know but who cares!

I got a lot of time yesterday to work on my afghan for my bed. made lots of progress on that puppy. excited about that!

Im keeping my afghan a secret on purpose : P

But yeah yesterday was a pretty chill but super awesome day! I'm working on a post right now of a couple new projects I'm gonna be working on for the next few weeks so keep an eye out for that. I hope everyone is enjoying their day! :)

xoxoxo,
