Scripture for a Year

Okay, here's my new scripture to pull me through the next bit. I have quite a few changes going on in my life that I will explain in a later blog. I'm not ready to tackle it quite yet; although I think everyone knows about it already. So I flipped open my scriptures this morning for a quick verse and found this. It's perfect for what I'm about to face.

Which one do you like best? I'll probably only be taking one with me. I think it'll live in my pant pocket so I can see it at all times.

OPI Nail Polish

I'm starting to become a believer in you pay for what you get. I'm starting to switch over to OPI nail polish because it really does last way longer! These are the latest colors I bought and the only ones I have so far. My little sister wanted to see them, so here you go, Michelle!

A fun activity!

Yesterday was a super Saturday for Relief Society. I was so excited because I actually had the day off and could go! We made adorable letter words for decorations in our home. The sister cut the letters out of wood with her scroll saw at home. Then we brought our own scrapbook paper to use. We traced and cut out the letters and then applied with mod podge. I've never used mod podge before and had never been taught how to use it so I was very excited to learn another crafting skill! Fall is my favorite season, and I decorate for it more than I do for Christmas I believe. So I took some fall paper with me since 'tis the season for fall. And here's what I made:

I adore my letters! I can't get over how cute they turned out! But I must say that I love my 'love' word pattern much more than my 'faith' pattern.

Have fun!

Hats

So after making my hat, I was told that I had to post a picture of me in the hat. Well, I'm going to do that. I also hadn't flushed out my need to crochet so I made a few more. I'm not over my need to crochet, but I have done enough to where I can focus on my cards at least. So here's the pictures.

I made most of my hats to match my winter wardrobe. They'll be so cute with some of my outfits!

I made a hat for my business partner, D. His football team is the GA Bulldogs, so I made one his team colors. I figured it was the least I could do for all he's doing for the business.

And there's me in the hats! Happy hatting! Maybe I should meet the Hatter. That would be fun. :)

Something Different

I needed to do something different in my spare time. I have now made over 200 cards for my company, and the other morning, I got creatively blocked. All I could think is, I really want to crochet. So I left the house thirty minutes early (before work) and went to Wally World. I bought a needle and two colors of yarn. And then I made myself a hat. It took from 8 am, when I bought the supplies, until 730 pm. I thought it was going to turn out just awful. At first, it looked like the carpet. Then it looked like a barret, however you spell that word. Then it finally looked like a hat. So here's a picture.

People were giving me such a hard time about it. Then I had to listen to stories of how Grandma and Auntie So-and-so used to crochet. "Are you really going to wear that?" My answer was simple. If it turns out cute, yes. And it did turn out cute. I doubted myself for a while there, but it did turn out cute. If not, please tell me so I don't embarrass myself. It's a little long so that once I wear it, I can flip the bottom up about an inch all around. My husband told me it needed a little shaping, so I slept in it last night. And I shocked myself. It was so comfortable. I don't want to do my hair today. I want to wear it even if it does get into the 90s. lol

Have fun! I hope to get some cards made this weekend. lol
