A little place to post my crafts... and to motivate me to keep up with them.
I am somehow involved with a felt food swap. I'm making 12 felt pizzas. Here is the first one.

I am home sick. One runs out of things to do really darn fast. One of the things I love to do is watch movies, but my favorite moves are all on VHS tape, and my VCR wasn't set up. So I finally got around to setting up the VCR to run through the DVD player, which is also a recorder so I can watch the Princess Bride, and record it to a DVD at the same time.

I guess that title's a bit of a lie. Because I have been knitting a bit. A round here and there on some socks I've been working on for*ever*. But no real knitting. Having a house and a yard is a big job, man! I need to take photos... The side stairs are falling off the house, and have a hole in them (kind of dangerous for the milk man). The garden has had 10 years to get completely overtaken by weeds. The lawn keeps growing and needing to be cut. The wallpaper in this house is... special... and needs to be replaced. I'm thinking this blog might need to be changed from Jaax Crafts to Jaax Busts Her Ass Fixing Up Her House. Not so catchy.

I'm thinking I want to knit myself a lightweight spring sweater out of the Knit Picks Crayon yarn. I've made small baby washcloths with it, and I've seen baby sweaters that people have made with it, but I'm wondering if it will work out ok on an adult sized item. Any input?

I'm back from Spain, and totally forgot to take my knitting with me, so I have absolutely no knitting progress to report. We did, however, adopt a dog yesterday! She's a five year old German shepherd mix, but much smaller than a shepherd. Black and tan coloring, and really sweet and friendly. She's not trained beyond sitting for treats, but we're going to get a trainer. She's staying at the shelter until Monday when she gets spayed, and then we'll introduce her to our cat. Keep your fingers crossed that they hit it off ok!

It is January 6th, and I have my windows open because it is 70 degrees outside. In Boston!!! I actually saw poor, confused cherry trees blooming yesterday.
