Another Day, Another Crochet Marathon

 I realized that Christmas really is in less than a week today.  And this news sent me in a complete panic.  I have so many things I want to make for people!  Ahh! So just a quickie post today, hello, and goodbye!

What I Wore: Mink!

 I am so happy it was finally cold enough for me to wear my vintage mink coat!  It is so nice and comfortable. I don't love the cold, but for December I want it to be super snowy and cold. Just one month for me to get my wear out of super warm clothes for the really cold days!

I Crocheted: Fox Hat!

 Good morning everyone!  Just wanted to show off some pictures of the hat I crocheted on my sick day!

Unexpected Snow

 This morning I did not count on there being snow on the ground, in the air, or on the roads.  Had I known, I would not have worn what I did(or at least wear tights) or drive to school.  But because I was too tired to check the weather I froze and drove with thick snow on the roads for the first time.  It was kind of terrifying.  

Needless to say, tomorrow I am taking the bus and wearing a scarf, gloves, and pants.

Weekend Recap

 I went to St. George over the weekend with my dad and my sister!  We went for my uncle's wedding, but got a ton of crocheting and drawing done too!

 I gave Avery my old knitting looms and I think she is addicted!  She has already made a hat and is halfway done with the scarf she is making above.

On the way to St. George and back, I crocheted a rainbow scarf.  It is going to have clouds on the end, but I am a little discouraged because right now I just made a gay-pride scarf... I like boys!

 Avery saw me painting and asked me to teach her how to draw.  I picked out a face in a photo and taught her the techniques to drawing a face.  I think these faces could belong to twins!

And here is my painting so far!  It is due tomorrow so lets see how long I can put off doing it!

Collections: Part One: Vintage Purses

Good morning friends!  Today's is the first of many collection posts I want to share with you:  I collect vintage purses- I love how elegant and dainty they are.  Over the last year I think I have collected quite a few!

What do you think?  Do you collect anything fun?  

Photo an Hour: sick day!

I stayed home sick yesterday.  I got tons of crocheting done- that is all I did, actually!  For me, yesterday was a stay in bed, watch seasons of 24, and crochet! 

9 am:  I made a bowl of cereal only to find out it was sour milk.  What a wonderful surprise! 

I had a hot pocket instead.  You can't go wrong with a hot pocket.

 10 am:  I put the strands of yarn in this hat for the mohawk and started my next Christmas gift!  My dear cousin Mckenzie was very clear on what she wanted for Christmas.  A crocheted hat with a mohawk.  I showed her a picture of one and she loved it!  Too bad there wasn't a pattern.  This is just another hat pattern I made up!

11 am:  Still working hard on this hat!

12 pm:  Lunch!

 1 pm:  almost done with the hat!  Too bad you don't get so see it finished yet! I don't want a certain person to go on my blog and see her gift!

 2 pm:   Next hat!  This one is for myself!  I knew what I wanted but there wasn't  a pattern for it- so I made it up!

 3 pm:  Going strong!

4 pm:   Just about done with orange...

 5 pm:  I decided to give it a scalloped edging!  

 6 pm:  Just for the heck of it, why not add some ears?

 7 pm:   finished!

 8 pm:  I packed last minute for my trip to St. George!

There you have it!  A (sick) day in the life of Oakley Seal!
