I wanted to post this one a few days ago but I was stuck without my laptop for a few days and for some reason WordPress wouldn’t let me log in on my sister’s but I’m so super excited to be featured over on Kollabora in their Meet the Maker series!! I was so giddy when they contacted me and may have had a bit too much fun with the interview questions. (hee)

In other news, yes I’m still alive! I’ve been buried under a mountain of Christmas knitting that I finally finished. Yay! Expect regular blogging schedule to recommence shortly. :]

I hope everyone’s having a lovely holiday! My day has pretty much looked like this:

Anyway, Merry Chreestmas everyone!

My weekend

It’s been a teensy bit busy around here but I’ve managed to squeeze in some fun stuff.

My roommates and I did Secret Santa a few nights ago and it was a great success! We had some infused vodka drinks and chocolate kisses and squeed over our new toys.

My one roomie and I got each other as Secret Santas, and then the other two got each other as well, which worked out strangely nicely. I bought an octopus ring a while in an attempt to fulfill my dream of always wearing tons of rings (I have no idea why) and she remembered and bought my octopus an owl friend.


(Excuse the wrinkles, I clearly need to learn to moisturize..)

She also got me this adorable little guy to put my rings on. 🙂 There was also a flower ring that hadn’t come in the mail yet and I forgot to snap a photo of it. Whoops!

I couldn’t resist squeezing in at least one Christmas knit so I made her a pair of fancy mittens. Knitting beads in was surprisingly simple! (I used the dental floss method, which cracked my dental school boyfriend up.)

Andd then we went to see the Hobbitses, which pretty much means I sobbed into my sleeve for three hours. (I may have mentioned that I was the weird girl in high school who wore elf ears to school and Lord of the Rings is the reason I learned to sew.)

Tonight I will *hopefully* finish up my last paper and then in the wee hours of tomorrow morning (read: 4am) I will be traipsing bleary-eyed off to the airport to go home for a few weeks! Hopefully once I’m settled I’ll be able to start posting more regularly.

In other news, I’m usually great at packing light but right now I love all my clothes and I’m having such a hard time not packing everything! Someone please explain to me why eight dresses and six pairs of shoes is overkill for a two week trip.

Just some randoms.

– I absolutely fail at blogging lately. It’s not even a lack of substance. I have about six posts lurking around the back of my mind.

– Thanksgiving was absolutely scrumptious. I’m still an avid believer in the fact that stuffing should be a part of regular meals and not limited to annual holidays. Noms.

– The Christmas knits pile is getting bigger! I was feeling increasingly guiltier yesterday when I realized how little time is left before Christmas and how many projects I have to finish by then so I took a trip to the yarn store (and only bought one thing for myself!). More on that later.

– I’ve purchased 6 Jane Richmond patterns in the past 48 hours. I am a happy clam.

– I also bought a winter coat and snow boots over the break. I *think* there’s a possibility I will survive this winter.

– Especially when one considers this pile of happiness.

– My Canadian roommate was making fun of me for coming up with excuses to wear my snow gear out. Can it just snow already please?

– Holy crap The Walking Dead. Is anyone else super mad about having to wait two months? I’m pining. I also may have obtained the entirety of the graphic novels that have been released. Except I don’t want spoilers so I’m afraid to read them. Gah.
