Idea, ideas and more ideas

I have so many ideas flying around my brain of things I want to make.  Blankets and hats for Premie babies, unique and fun hats for chemo kids and teens, scarfs and mittens and hats for Main Street Mission.  Still hoping I will find individuals who I can give to and not just organizations but I have a whole year to look for them.  I can't wait to get started.  As soon as Christmas projects are done I will get started.

Something Big is Coming

So last week I turned 29.  Which as soon as I stopped and realized that my next obvious thought was, holy cow I'm almost 30.  I know I'm a little young to be having a mid life crisis but being less than a year from 30 has made me stop and think about what am I doing with my life.  I have made a lot of changes to my life in the last year.  I am a genetics nut and since I didn't go to school for genetics and find a cure for cancer I breed animals.  However last Spring I gave up my dogs to be able to put my hubby and kids first and foremost in my life.  Since then I have been waiting for the next big thing in my life.  I know it's coming and I know it's going to be huge.  While I'm waiting I've been crocheting.  I am hooked, yes pun intended ;) and have decided to give myself a challenge.  I am going to crochet 365 items to give away in 2012.  One for each day of the year, I know duh, right?  So I am excited about this venture and can't wait to see what comes of it beyond this year.  I'm hoping to do lots of hats for chemo kids especially some neat, unique designs for teens.  I'm also going to be putting up BOGO listings in my Etsy shop, Buy One Gift One, to help pay for the materials to make all these nifty items.  If anybody is reading this and knows of a person or child that needs a gift please pass on their information to me, I would love to brighten their day.


A big part of my inspiration has come from Ashley at Lil Blue Boo, if you've never read her blog please take the time to stop over and take a look.  Lil Blue Boo
