You've Got Mail!

Looks like I am caught up for my 30 truths until tomorrow. Yesterday was so productive and I'm feeling the effects today, like bricks. I don't know why I get so mentally and physically tired sometimes but when I do I get so worried. Nevertheless I was proud of myself for all of the things I got checked off my list tomorrow for the move and everything.

I'm going to go back to last week for a tad though because I definitely neglected you a bit. The highlight of my week last week (or one of them) was putting together a little care package for my sister. I'm thisclose to being finished with her blanket, I just had to get some more yarn (one of the tasks checked off my list yesterday) but I figured I would send her a book and some other stuff in the mean time. She's coming home right after I move so I'm going to miss her by a bit but she'll have a nice package on her bed and a soft blanket to cuddle. :) Back to last week's package though...

Step one, open box. 


Step Two: look at contents... oooh some polaroids, a small elephant and a book...

 Step three: OH! but there's more, there are pictures and a note! Enjoy!

I was quite happy with the end result. There was an additional picture of the two of us together added in toward the end of putting together the box. I hope she likes it and smiles when she gets everything. :)


Now it's time to put myself to bed. I'm listening to City and Colour (amazing) and it is lulling me even farther into zzzzz zone. I hope my room cools down soon here. I'm a tad warmer than I want to be for sleep.




ps the blog is freaking out right now with font and underlining and bold and size and everything. I don't have the mental strength tonight to figure it all out so I apologize if things seem a tad crazy.

What is your special talent or skill...


Guess what I've been doing a lot of... 
I finished the baby blanket for my friend last Friday night and then immediately started my sister's blanket. I'll update with a post of the lovely baby blanket when I get it all wrapped up and pretty. This here, in the picture, was the start of my sister's blanket. Today, 5 days later, it is a whole lot bigger and I'm just truckin along. It seems I've got the crocheting bug yet again. I take my yarn and this blanket with my a lot of places now just in case I have some time to work on it while watching a movie with a friend or something. The last time this happened I finished a blanket in a week! I'm two days away but I have to say I'm probably going to take a bit longer than just 7 days. I have a lot of little things that need to be done and while I would love to sit and watch a half season a day of Desperate Housewives while finishing this blanket, I just can't.
Oh well though, progress is being made and I'm so stoked off of it. I just hope my sister will love it as much as I have loved making it for her.

Now, it's off to bed with me. I actually have a time I have to wake up tomorrow and unfortunately it's before 11am.

Goodnight!
