Post Thanksgiving- Kicking it into 3rd Gear

Thanksgiving was awesome.  My youngest brother J is officially taller than me; Thus making me the runt of the family.  We spent hours making pies and preparing food, as well as socializing and playing poker.  Fun was had by all.  And now that Thanksgiving is over, it is time to step it up a notch.  The rest of the break I spent crocheting like a mad woman!! The main part of the boots from last week have been finished, now all to be added is the fur lining and waterproof soles.




My sister has started her crocheting now, which has resulted in a wonderful collaboration of the dall sisters =)
She has made her first cowl, and is also started a really trendy collection of headbands.  All of which can be purchased at Southern Charm



As for me I have finished the "Java Jacket" project I have been working on, and have nearly completed another hat.  These were created for an extremely special woman in my life (AKA Suga Mama) in order to help her spread the word about being a Real Estate Agent.  They were made in Coldwell Banker Blue, a pocket was added so she can give out her business cards, and all was completed with personalized buttons displaying her name and phone number so she can always be reached.  This was a really fun project to work on and I am so proud they are finally completed!


 Me and the roommate have also started decorating our apartment for Christmas thanks to the amazing starter packages her mom created.  So it looks like tomorrow will include some Christmas tree shopping.  I would like to leave you guys with a smile, and post the pictures of our stockings (Mine is obviously the high heel).  We live in Belton so I always knew our fish would come in handy.  Now that is some Southern Charm y'all!

My Turkey Resolution: To Blog

Because I don't believe that New Year's resolutions EVER work, I will instead make a turkey resolution.  That will be to blog!  So here it goes:

Today after a WONDERFUL 2 hour interview, I have begun the boot project that I have been setting off for two weeks.  My fingers (and crochet needle) have been itching to start this, and I am SO excited!  Because I am on an A&M kick (pun intended), my first boots to be added to the Southern Charm collection are a wonderful maroon! 
The inspiration: This shirt is just begging for some awesome maroon boots!

They are coming along!  I have another sole to finish, and then the slouchy tops.  Check my etsy out to see my other sweet crochet projects! 

How is that for my first blog? Take THAT Turkey Resolution.  I hope everyone has a fantastic Thanksgiving filled with great family, great friends, and great food! I am thankful that I have nearly a week off, have started my new project, and that the Ecology test went well. 

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!!
