Crafting Efforts

Lately I've been bouncing from one project to the next,

Prairie Schooler pamphlet December - Just started 11/13
TGOS Magazine Winter Wishes - Started 11/10. set of 4 ornaments. I've started one of them and already messed up the colors. It's one over one for all the wording and I'm NOT picking that out.

Snowed - In: Stitching complete, now I have to pick fabric for the back and sew it up. Is this a gift? for an exchange? For me?

Irish Hiking Scarf: This is really only knitting project I have going right now. I was initially hoping to finish it by Christmas, but I don't know who I would give it to. Apparently all the men on my list (dad, brother-in-law, future brother-in-law) don't really wear scarves. I will still keep working on it becuase it's a beautiful scarf.
Currently reading The Gurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. November 7 - I'm on page 17 of The Guernsey Literary and.... I'm really hoping I like it. I love the title, and made a mental note of it back in June. I love reading other people's letters!

November 14 - I keep reading this book on the bus during my commute to work. What I really need to do is settle down with the book at home tonight and read. I stumble on passages that are so touching they make me tear up, and I don't really want to cry on the bus, especially on my way to work, when I want to show up and look professional, not bedraggled.

Time to vote!

Riding the bus to work this morning we passed my polling place. The line of voters wrapped around the block and went on for two more blocks! I'd better bring some snacks when i vote tonight.

Halloween fun

This year Halloween was fun! I went to a party with some friends and before we went out, they dressed me up as Red Riding Hood. More pictures to follow of the crew, but here is the main part of my costume. Yay!
