Let's swim in a pool full of alligators.

I'm so glad that I have friends that I can be completely honest with.
Even when I do embarassing things.
Case in point:


Yes, I have been cross stitching.
Look what I made!


I need to find him a frame to go in.
I am planning to hang him up when I move out.
Which won't be for like 5 more months,
 but that's ok.

Speaking of alligators in swimming pools...
...I am like in love with this song.
And I'm not even a real big fan of Lana Del Ray.

On being creative.

I have always been one that would rather make something than to buy it.
Usullay though, it never turns out.  But, it's the thought that counts, right?
A few years ago, I tried my hand at crochet.
My scarf instantly turned into a yarn coaster.
How that's possible?  I have no idea.
I resolved that I was just not cut out for crochet.
Fast forward to a few months ago,
and ever since then
something clicked
and I have been a crocheting machine!

 My new homemaking skill to master is going to be cross stitch.
I did it when I was younger, so I'm thinking that I am going to be able to pick it up quite easily.
However, the project I've chosen is quite the feat.


Luckily, it is a stamped cross stitch rather than counting cross stitch.
But, I'm thinking that I should start off with something 
a bit smaller
a bit easier
to practice
before tackling this big one.
I should have some time before it arrives in the mail.
I think I want to try my hand at this adorable little gnome!

 I have a brilliant idea for this little gnome.
Now, I just need to get to the store for some supplies!
Hopefully, it will turn out just as good as I'm imagining it.
