A Yarn Collection

The past couple of days i have been going through my yarn basket and boxes organizing them into smaller balls and placing them into a new 3 drawer storage tower. One of my favorite things to do is crochet through the fall and winter, but I've never really realized how much yarn i have acquired over the past 2 years. So i took a pic......

it really doesn't look like much but truly i have 2-5 balls of most of these colours. It starts to add up and its alot to store away, not to mention the projects on the go.
I have 2 blankets on the go right now

I also want to start a crochet fish hat for Kane. I found this pattern on Knitty

its called Dead fish hat http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter08/PATTfishy.php  which i have already purchased variegated green, blue and brown camo yarn.
i also want to try my hand at The devil wears red amigurumi

I subscribe to fave crafts emails so when i saw this i knew i had to save it. Soooo adorable

Id also like to try my hand at making a sweater. I haven't found a pattern i like yet but i have found some great pics of chunky knit sweaters

Right now I'm working on my neck kawl. I just finished one in light grey chunky yarn and now I'm making a longer chunky red yarn. But I'm sure i will have them finished soon and on to something new.

Fujifilm Finepix

Last night we went to get Craig smokes in Rama so i convinced him to stop by Walmart so i could see if they had the camera i wanted in stock. Appearently Bracebridge doesnt have the one in stock but they have 10 on order which could take 3-6 weeks for delivery,  but i was in luck and Orillia had it last night.
So here is my new camera the Fujifilm Finepix S2900 its beautiful

It has the pop up flash. Its 14 megapixels and it has 18x zoom. I shall have fun learning all the features on this camera, but i am most excited to be blogging again. So i am sure once i get the program loaded i will have a new blog post of just pics.

Starting to feel like fall

I havent been on blogging in a long time because of my camera dying but I miss it soo much and ive finally made the decision to come back. So fresh start. What better to start over with than Fall inspirations. I love fall. It has to be my favorite time of year besides christmas. Today i started getting into the fall mood by making stew, buying 2 bundles of 5 stems of sunflowers (except one had 6) and by decorating with some fall garland. I also planned a couple fall projects i'd like to do as well as found some neat things at the Sally Anne for Halloween. For now im going to post some pictures to get us all inspired for fall.

Chartreuse

That's right the name says it all. Chartreuse Green, I have fallen in love with this colour. I have been slowly bringing this colour into our house more and more just for that little pop of colour against the black and zeppelin grey. I'm still on the quest to find the perfect purse in this colour, but sadly i don't think they make my jumbo sized in this shocking and eye catching colour. Anyways yesterday i was online playing around when i cam across this

 Did i ever fall in love with the black cabinets with just a little bit of chartreuse, that added pop of colour. So fresh looking, i was soo inspired i had to look for more and here is some other ones i love tooo.

Not a big fan of the red window but love cabinets

If you aren't willing to take the big risk of painting your cabinets that bright i love it on the walls too. But i would paint out the cabinets in this kitchen anyways.

Even carry it through to the dining room. Stunning.

Love Love Love this green tile, might have to find this one.

I don't know if Craig would ever let me paint the kitchen this bright but it would open our kitchen up. But i can dream. Until then i will just keep adding little splashes of green through the house and maybe tomorrow i will find that perfect bag when I'm back in Hamilton.

Long time awaited, For both blog and car

Ive been dying to get back on my blog, i miss it soooo much but i still dont have a camera yet. I just havent had the time to go camera shopping as i have been driving back and forth from Hamilton. But i do have some good news Craig and i bought a new car. Well not brand new but new to us. Its a 2003 Pontiac Vibe and we get it tomorrow. I am sooo excited. So here we go some pics of my new baby,

Ive already bought stickers for my car, that i have put on thin Magnetic sheets so i can take them off the car whenever i want and i have also purchased a vanilla air freshener. I cant wait to be feeling better so i can drive my new baby
