Fan Trellis Crochet Square
Working on my Fan Trellis crochet square tonight. This is my first lacy pattern and I love how fast it goes!
Ian's Belt
Tonight Ian showed me how much his belt has changed. He has long since passed all the notches on his belt and been making his own. In this photo his thumb is where he USED to wear the belt, compared to now:
And in this one he buckled it in the old location to show the difference in his circumference. It's pretty amazing.
He has lost 80 pounds and I'm so proud!

Organized!
Did some organizing around the house today and it felt so good! I emptied this shoe cubby, brought it downstairs and plunked it on top of our shoe rack. Voila! Instant storage for all the hats, gloves, scarves etc that are floating around. I put all my scarves on the open side since they are longer… plus I can keep purses/bags underneath the scarves. So happy about this little change :)

Entrelac Hat Photos
I finished my entrelac hat!! This was my 2nd knitting project. I took a class on this. It was definitely tricky but I think it came out great. Thanks to Sarah for taking the awesome photos!!
Purple Ruffle Scarf
My purple sparkly ruffle scarf is done! I am going to be making two of these for my aunt and grandma, then eventually a couple for myself. I love how it turned out and that you can wear it several ways! Thanks Sarah for taking these great photos.
Sarah looks up from her art project to find marker ALL over her arm.
Sarah: "What the hell happened?!?!"
Me: "YOU. That's the easiest way to explain it."

Pretty New Things!!
Sarah and I went to Cato’s today and got some fun new accessories at great prices. I got this pretty scarf with butterflies on it. It fades from pink to white and is so pretty. I also got the set of glass bead bracelets which are pink and grey. These items were under $10 together.
Crochet Class
My new crochet class started tonight and it was intense! We picked all 9 stitches for our sampler blanket. I made this chart to plan out where my stitches and colors will go:
I learned the Fan Trellis stitch in class tonight:
I learned 3 stitches total and I am supposed to get all 3 squares completed before the next class in a week... yikes! But so much fun :)

Sarah Knitting
We hung out at Amber's tonight and had some knitting time. I love this shot of Sarah's red fingernails contrasting with the green hat ahe's working on.
Old Navy Outfit
I sooo wanted to buy this outfit but just couldn't spend $65 on one outfit right now. I love it though! I am thrilled to say the dress is size large and the cardigan is a medium!
Love This Place
I’m at a Starbucks in Loveland and it’s sooo awesome!! Looks small from outside but the inside is huge and has lots of comfy seating and a bar area. Wish I could hang out here for a lot longer than 20 mins!
