THE SEARCH IS OVER!!!!!

So a very long time ago and friend of mine, Erim, and I had a conversation about hats and how she couldn't wear hats because of "the poof". I took it upon myself to find a hat she could where and make it. I recently stumbled upon said hat. A mini top hat. A very small version of that hat----------->
Yep, a mini mad hatter's hat. I won't bog this post down with the pattern and in all honesty the finally product will not be green or black but test yarn claret.

Poem of the Week

Looks like Wednesday is the day for poems. *flips through book of poems to find the best one* FOUND IT! The actual poem is in two pieces but not for very long.

New Picture

Swords

Swords

Like a piece of metal

Like a dragon’s talon

Like a twisted fate

Like a sharp edge

Like a ceremony

Like a Chinese fan

Like a sign of wealth, stupid idiots

Like a kitchen item often overlooked

Like an inheritance

Like a shadow in the dark

Like an item on a vanity table often not seen

Like a drawing

Like a carving

Like a book

Like a word

Hello readers, if there is anyone reading this blog.

So my last post was depressing and if anyone remembers how it was before my blog was Gryffondor red. I changed it to fit my mood. Which is depressed if you couldn't tell. But I will come out of the depression to say this I will post a poem that I either LOVE or have written each week. It will probably be the latter since I don't read poetry very often. So just wait it'll come.

Great Sadness has swept over

My grandfather has cancer and is currently going through cemo. I'm flying out to his house is February. Remember that poem "Falling Apart" well it's about him. So keep him, my grandmother and my family in your prayers. A few weeks ago when I talked with him last he had lost his hair and now needs hats because his head is cold. I plan on taking him a blanket and two hats when I go out there. Wish me luck! I've only finished one of the hats. But I'm about 1/4th of the way done with the blanket and I just started the second hat. So again wish me luck!

Falling Apart

Don't ask me if everything’s alright

'Cause it's not.

A dream is shattered

Because one man is dying.

Don't ask me if I'm okay

'Cause I'm falling apart

Because one man is dying.

I look around at all my worldly possessions

And I'd give it all away

Just to have more time

With the one man who is dying.

The only thing I'd keep

Would be a blue book

Because he gave it to me.

I may be smiling but it's

Only temporary.

I may appear happy

But it's just a mask

To hide the fact

That I'm

Falling apart.

Let it be known that on December 5, 2010 this poem captured how I was feeling. It is my own poem and I still feel this way.

Crochet scarf pattern

Because I have linked my blog to Ravelry I thought I should post a pattern to please them.

Here is my crocheted scarf pattern
It's in US terms.
I'm using:
Yarn: Lion Brand Hometown USA in Charlotte Blue
Hook: Size N

Chain 203
Row 1: trbl(treble) in third chain from hook. trbl across, chain 2. turn.
Row 2: trbl across, chain 2, turn.
Row 3-8: repeat row 2
Cast off and weave in tails.

How I broke my toe.

Tuesday night I was walking down the stairs and the way I stepped onto the stair it caught mt foot in the arch causing me to slide down the stairs. My toe crumpled underneath me and made a sound as if someone accordion  folded the bone in my foot. And it sure did feel like that too. Mama, Aunt Paula and I then rushed to the ER and spent the night there. We checked out around 6:45 AM Wednesday morning. I still went to Driver's Ed a few hours later and slept through most of the class.

New year, New projects

So I'm still working on Three Kings Day presents for several people.
For my friend I'm thinking of making these:
http://osuraccoon.blogspot.com/2010/11/penguin-coasters-crochet-pattern.html
She loves penguins so I thought they might be perfect.
For my Grandpa I'm in the process of making a really huge granny square
For my Grandma I'm plan on making a shawl. I'm part way through one but it's not right. I'm messing up the pattern, using the wrong yarn, it's supposed to be fuzzy and it's stiff like cardboard. So I have to find a new pattern.

But for this coming Christmas/Hanukkah I'm making/finishing:
A Doctor Who scarf for Gena.
I may end up making hat to go with the scarves I made Amanda, Brandy, Eeyi, Samira, Catrelle, Mama, and Aunt Paula.
I plan on using that pattern to make scarves for Bethany, Sarah, Eesim, and Erim.
I think I might make Chandra a hook holder.
That still leaves Dorene, Shanta, Sheon, Michelle, Miss Archie, and Aunt Cindy.
I really don't know what to make them.

New year, New projects

.....sorry I need breakfast so I'll be back soon. most likely later today or tomorrow.
