January 2016

Completely unrelated to crafting of any sort, but something that I feel will make for a better new year, I am saying good bye to my fish tank, really it has just become a fishy morgue. I like the sound of the running water, but I have no interest in figuring out how to keep them alive.

Art, is going well. I know I have never shared any of my art on here, but I hope that will change in the near future. The hold up right now though is we cannot get our hands on any suede which does rather complicate matters. 

The month of January has seen me finishing 4 hats! Just call me The Slouchy Beret, but not really. 3 of them were started this month one was started last year to help me stay on the treadmill for longer. But they are done and into the drawer, I have 22 slouchy berets floating around, and I NEVER seem to wear a hat. Ah well. But at least I finished something for the month. 

I have been reading this month but I have not finished a book. Sad, I am 30% of the way through one though so give me a break. 

FO's:

1. Reverie Beret (I have done so many of these I could do them in my sleep, but I have made 1 or 2 minor adjustments to make it my own)
1. If I sat down and just went with it this would be finished in a heart beat!
