every so often

i get an idea to make myself a blanket i have 2 for me that i have made 1 i keep becuse its big & i live the shade of purple i used & the other one i got the yaen as a birthday gift from home teachers & i love that blanket although im thinking of giving that one away

friday or saturday i decided that i wanted a granny square throw for myself so i bought the colors i wanted now keep in mind that sevral years ago i made myself a blanket useing these same colors & gave it away

yep i chose black & purple wich i do love together im just not 100% sold on how much i love it


after looking at this picture im likeing it more

however if any one reading this knows someone who needs a throw blanket let me know they can have this one

the joys of fall

i have a friend who is attending school at byu idaho she loves atumn colors i thought she is cold up in the snow she also wants a ranch to live on when i think of a ranch i think of a ranch style house when i think of that i think of what i do best

so i picked these colors out

and made this for her

im not to horrably fond of fall colors i like them juxt not alot so i had never thought to use them in a blanket till last week i actually love them in this blanket im so glad i used four colors it turned out so pretty im glad it did & my friend loves it

some fun things

i went to the third jewlery making class last night (i almost forgot im glad i remembered) we made earings & a ring it was fun alot funner then the purple wire braclet in the ast post

here are the earings

and here is the ring it has alot of beads on it like the earings

this is what i have been working on i will probably give it away to someone but im not sure if i am yet pictures of the finished project later

this is the next thing im working on i have an idea who i will give this t00 it needs to get done soon

this is what i did today

i sighned up for 3 jewlery making classes 2 of wich were today

so when you sighn up for classes the give you a supply list of what you will need (the plyers i borrowed from mom) so the day i shighned up i bought the purple wire & the 2 boxes in the back then i decided i wanted to be more prepared so i bought the supplies for class #2 last night right befpre class #2 started we discoverd the the teacher had the correct list & we had the wrong list so after spending tons of money for the rest of the stuff in the picture i retuned the whole purches & bought what was needed & that was much mich less

in the first class she tought us what she needed to & didnt want anyone going home empty handed so this is what we made i enjoyed makeing these

class #2 was more frustrating the teacher kept saying that this braclet was to hard for beginners to make & i have to agree at one point i was almost to the point of giving up i was frustrated not as frustrated as i was with knitting i actually gave up on knitting however i am proud of my messy braclet & yes i need to fix it

class #3 is on monday we will be making diffrent earings & a ring the teacher says that those are easier then this braclet im excited for monday

my scarf

if you recall a few posts ago i talked about my experince with learning how to knit needless to say i havent gone back to a knitting class when i decided to get a refund for the classes i also needed to bring back some kintting supplies i had bought to make socks i loved the yarn so much that i just couldnt return it so i decided to crouthe me a scarf instead i finished it tonight & i love how it turned out

here it is

here is a close up of the colors

its just to bad that the high in vegas today was 85 degrees

look what my sisters got

as you all know i learned how to crouthet granny squares last month i started off by making tons of squares to make a blanket then changed smy mind & did a granny throw with all the squares i made i put them together & made a bag for my sister angie she loved it

here it is

now on to the throw i made it for my sister lindsay i was going to do a dectative border then i changed my mind & im glad i did she wanted orange added to the blanket so i did she loved it
