Why Not?

Happy Sunday! How was your week? I've had a bit of a surprising, lovely week, actually! I'm a bit hesitant by nature, so surprises - or anything unplanned for that matter - don't always work that well with me. But this week, with every new 'adventure' I was like, "why not?" and "let's try that!" I tried new recipes (for example, a combination of these two 'White Chili Recipes' 1, 2), I met new people, went places I haven't gone before! I felt... free! ....I found this drawing that pretty much sums it up..

As for the YoP, I first have to share the adorable picture of my nephews wearing the Christmas Present Beanies I made and shipped to Canada.. I think they look just adorable!

And after last weeks' pillowcase 'failure', I decided not to try another pillow project...  What I did was finally, finally finish my Lulu Retro Headband! Yay!

I really love that it's crocheted in one piece, and the youtube video on how to put it together is really clear! I might make a knitted version as well!

  

I also tried making my own 'DIY yarn bowl', an idea I picked up - I believe - at one of the YoP participants' blogs! Essentially, you need a bowl + a binder clip.. How fun!

 

 

The project underneath the yarn bowl is a last-minute granny blanket I'm making. I'm using stash yarn and donate the blanket to the animal shelter. Another project not on my original YoP list, surprise surprise!

I hope this week I'll be able to start on a beanie/hat on my YoP list. The forecast predicts some cold weather, so I really could use something nice and warm!
