January Thirty First, Twenty Twelve

Only halfway through the day and I'm already exhausted.

January Thirtieth, Twenty Twelve

 I finished this hat today.  Look, it has earflaps!!!

I made this hat today too, I think it needs a nice big pom-pom on top.

January Twenty Ninth, Twenty Twelve

Here we go again...

January Twenty Eighth, Twenty Twelve

 The basic hats for the twins are done!

 Bows make the hat so much cuter!

Done!!!

January Twenty Seventh, Twenty Twelve

Still working on that second hat.

January Twenty Sixth, Twenty Twelve

I went to the doctor's again today since I'm still coughing, and I left with 3 more prescriptions.  Fun.

January Twenty Fifth, Twenty Twelve

Today was the 100th day of school, and I got another shirt for perfect attendance!

January Twenty Fourth, Twenty Twelve

I picked up the new Chinese New Year stamps today.

Another baby hat, this is going to be for a little twin girl.  I'll get the other hat up as soon as I have it done.

January Twenty Third, Twenty Twelve

Two baby hats.

January Twenty Second, Twenty Twelve

Calendars for school!!!

January Twenty First, Twenty Twelve

I'm making the first of many baby hats.  Boy, there are many babies happening in my life right now.  Is someone trying to tell me something?

January Twentieth, Twenty Twelve

So I emptied the can recycling bag yesterday because it was overflowing and all of the extra cans covered pretty much the entire counter.  I cleaned it all up (and please remember that I do not drink soda) and took the bag to the garage.  I did not however replace the bag that I took out, so my roommate's solution is to just put all of today's cans on the counter instead of putting in a new bag.

 Today's Chinese Dragon.

I knit my Mom a shell top out of this yarn this past year, then she requested some flowers out of the same yarn to go with it.  Before I could make said flowers she decided she wanted to knit a hat from the yarn that was left.  I took the yarn and the knitting needles to Ohio over Christmas, ended up having to make the hat myself anyway.  I did not inform her that there was any yarn left, but I decided I would surprise her with two  different flower pins for her birthday that she can put on whatever she wants.  Now I only have about a yard of the yarn left, and I would like to believe that I am DONE with it.

January Eighteenth, Twenty Twelve

This is "dragon" in Chinese, at least according to a few websites I found.

January Seventeenth, Twenty Twelve

I bought these coloring books from the professional development I had to go to today.  I went to this author's talk and he autographed them for me!  All in all the professional developments were pretty good this year compared to some of the previous years.

January Sixteenth, Twenty Twelve

...in bed!


I had a great time at lunch with Tami, Libby and Amy on our day off!

January Fifteenth, Twenty Twelve

My trunk is full of goodies for the Santa Shop for next year.  I totally scored a 7 foot tree for $12 (including tax) to put the TONS of ornaments on next year!  It's going to be so great, even if I'm not there!

January Fourteenth, Twenty Twelve

Since I can't just knit one thing at a time and be happy...

January Thirteenth, Twenty Twelve

Expressionistic Self Portrait.  The second grade students decided I could be glad (with blue hair) this time!

January Twelfth, Twenty Twelve

Lori and I are helping Patti register for baby gear!!!

January Eleventh, Twenty Eleven

I pulled a muscle in my back yesterday and working out today did not help so now I'm adding heat.  Ouch!

January Tenth, Twenty Twelve

A whole bunch of hair today.

January Ninth, Twenty Twelve

Some very complicated hair for a second grader today, but I guess that is what you get when you do a self portrait.

January Eighth, Twenty Twelve

A new start for a very special baby boy!

January Seventh, Twenty Twelve

I'm starting something fantastic!!!

January Sixth, Twenty Twelve

So I bought more yarn today, but it really wasn't my fault!  The pink and white squares that I had been making for Patti's baby won't work anymore since we recently found out she is having a boy.  So I took Patti yarn shopping and this is what she picked out instead.  Oh well, someone who is worth the time and effort for the pink and white squares will have a girl eventually.

January Fifth, Twenty Twelve

I got this through inter-office mail today!!!

January Fourth, Twenty Twelve

This yarn was left for me in my mailbox at school by the reading coach that refers to me as "Art Teacher".

January Third, Twenty Twelve

New schedule.  Blah.

January Second, Twenty Twelve

The Birds, the Birds!!!  This is where EVERY BIRD IN THE WHOLE WORLD was today.

January First, Twenty Twelve

Crossing the Mississippi River today!
