New Year...New Skill!

Guess what one of my New Years resolutions was?
Yep, that's right
I'm going to TRY to learn how to
crochet.

I've always been fascinated with it,
but I'm not a patient person and have my
reservations about my commitment level.

It's time to give it a go!

Lately I've seen so many fascinating things
that so inspire me to learn.
I love these crocheted rocks.

I know...I know...
I'll have to start simple
probably with a pot holder
but that's okay.

There are so many decisions
not only do I have to decide on what to make,
the yarn choices are endless.

Will I ever be able to create fun pillows
like these? I wonder.

I'm going to start small

and build up my skill.

One thing I do know I can be as
creative as I want
and make it my own.

Maybe in a year or two I'll master those rocks.

In the mean time...
I'm going to have some fun.

Thanks to Google
for all my images.

RANDOM THINGS

We woke up to snow this morning and it was beautiful!

I love how the yard, garden and street look after a fresh

fallen snow.

Unfortunately, I had to be at work at 6:15 this morning and wasn't

able to take any pictures until I got home.

These were taken about 4:00 PM.
Much of the snow was already gone.

I thought this was a cute one.

The Nandinas were weighted down this morning, but

were starting to lift again by four.

Inside my last bowl of paperwhites from the Holidays

are just about to bloom.

I don't think I've showed you this new pillow I purchased durring

our Holiday Fiber Show.

It fits in perfectly with my decore.

It's a wonderful mixed bag of components...

some crochet, some kniting and felting.

Here is the start of a project of mine. It's still in the

thinking stage. VS was getting rid of this paper and I

snagged it. I think I'm going to use some for a

Valentine's Day garland.

Well I know all of this is just random stuff, but that's

what happening here at Nanniepannies.

Show and Tell

Oh yea, I almost forgot...this is my next project.

I want to convert this abandoned closet in the spare bedroom

to my new crafting center.

It will be lovely to have all my things in one place.
