Something Personal for My Crafts

I have been wanted some personal labels to place in my hand crafted items.
So, I decided to make me some.

They turned out really pretty!

For a Wonderful Man.

Yesterday was my husband's birthday. We spend the day all together as a family. The kids sang the Happy Birthday song about five times. I made him his favorite flavor cake LEMON as the birthday cake and we went out for dinner. I also purchased him a NFL Carolina Panthers Snuggle for cool nights.

I know I have said this before, but I do have a wonderful husband! He works so hard and never complains, always has a positive attitude, and loves his family. What woman can complain about that? Not me!

I love you Honey! :)

Where Does The Time Go?

It is hard for me to believe that today is my baby's 2nd birthday! MY BABY IS TWO YEARS OLD!!! He had a good birthday I think. He got some Trio building blocks, some Disney Pixar Cars, and most important . . . a Potty!

I made him a yellow cake with chocolate icing, one of his favorites. I love my little Honey Bear no matter how bad, I mean interesting, the trouble two are going to be!!!!

Happy Birthday Honey Bear!

Second Ravelympics Project Completed.

I just finished my second Ravelympic project. It is a cowl inspired my the hat pattern. I made this for my mom too. I can't decide if I want to start a third project.

First Ravelympics Project Completed!

I just finished my first Ravelympics project, a slouchy hat for my mom!
On to the next project!

My First Ravelympics!

For those of you out there who don't know what the Ravelympics are, it is when all of us knitters and crocheters on Ravelry knit our fingers sore during the Olympic Games. This time it's in Vancouver, Canada during Feb 12-28, 2010. The goal is 2 weeks of focused team challenge knitting while watching the actual Olympics unfold before our eyes.

I am part of Team Dizzy. GO TEAM!!

This is my first Ravelympics and I am so excited! I decided to make something for my mother after she called me to say she had just bought a hat to keep her head warm this winter. That made me feel like DIRT! Here I am a knitter and my mother is buying a noggin warmer!

She loved the Star Crossed Berets that I had made for myself and my sister, so naturally she wanted one too. So I am making that slouch hat and a matching cowl, inspired by the hat pattern, for her. I am using some of my Dream in Color Classy from the stash. Thou, my mother loves pink as much as I do, she wanted something different. I thought the Cloud Jungle would be a lovely color for these two projects.

I feel like I can complete these two projects over the next two weeks. On top of caring for my family.

So good luck and happy knitting to all of my fellow Ravelympics 2010 Winter Games crafters.

Can I Do Better?

I have been really bad at not blogging lately. Not because I don't have anything to talk about, but because I just am having a hard time finding TIME.

I will have to do better this year! Maybe I can vow to blogging at least once a week. I feel so bad! :(

Happy New Year!

It has been another amazing year for the Boykin Family. I hope everyone has had a great 2009 and I wish everyone a wonderful New Year in 2010!
