Totoro

A couple of years ago I knit a little Totoro (rav link) ornament for my Christmas tree. 



Well, this year my mother begged me to knit her one too. So I did! The pattern definitely went much better the second time. I think I might possibly be getting my brain back (knock on wood there). It was pretty fun to knit, though there are a few fiddly bits, like the ears and arms. I like how it turned out and might even knit another one someday. We'll see...

Pin it!

I love Pinterest. So far it is my favorite social media site. I actually start each morning looking at pins to start my day out in a creative way. Even if I never end up using the ideas it starts my brain working towards being creative.

The other thing I recently started was a board for my son. So we look at Pinterest together. He can post whatever he wants to his board as long as 1. he can identify it and 2. he actually likes it. So far I have learned about my son some things that I already know, such as him liking trains, castles, fish, and cookies. Some new things I have learned are that he likes woolly cabled sweaters and pictures of smiling girls. He is adamant about the things that go on his board too. So if you would like to follow his board for an eclectic assortment of things a 3 year old boy likes you can follow it here: http://www.pinterest.com/lavendersheep6/xavier/

I was just looking at what I had recently posted on the website and realized it was all in the same color family! Apparently I am in a "blue" mood around here! So I thought I would share!
