• Learn to Knit
• Learn to Crochet
  • I finally taught myself how to crochet! so far I’ve made 3 hats, and an ear warmer!

I’ll keep posting updates every few months! I think I got quite a bit accomplished so far though!

Between finding a job, school work, crafting and a side project of mine I’m keeping very very busy!

I finally found a job/got a job today – which is an immense weight off my shoulders! I start on February 22, so I’m trying to get as much school work out of the way as possible so I don’t feel overwhelmed! All of my classes are online this semester so that definitely helps.

Craft wise, I finally taught myself to Crochet. I’ve been pretty much crocheting everyday! Now I just need to learn how to make hats, so that I’m stylish for cheap every winter!

Anyway, I’m going to stop this incoherent blog post and write again soon!

Later!

Well hello there! You know, for someone who is currently unemployed, I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy!

I’ve been working on some crafts – I FINALLY learned how to use my sewing machine thanks to a great video posted at Style School, and well, reading the manual for my sewing machine. My lines may not be straight but hey, I can wind a bobbin like it’s nobody’s business!

I also built myself a lightbox out of a lot of tape, paper and foamcore. I need to grab an extension cord before I can set it up permanently, but hopefully you’ll be seeing a ton of photos soon.

School has been keeping me busy, I’ve been trying to keep up on my work early on in the week so that I don’t have to worry about it. One of my classes doesn’t actually require any weekly effort. All I have to do is complete 2 assignments and a final exam, which is both cool and a little scary. My marketing class is pretty interesting, I find the format a little confusing though. The content isn’t always up at the beginning of the week, so I can’t really finish that work until closer to the end.

I haven’t made any cakes recently – but I will be making one this weekend for a friends baby shower, so I’ll be sure to get that posted here! I’m hoping to start doing some cake/cupcake orders later on in the year. I want to take some more classes first though.

I went up to Blue Mountain on Friday – finally making use of my 5×7 pass! I spent an hour or so on the little beginner hill trying to teach myself, with the help of my BF. It was mostly a lot of falling, and I have a ton of battle bruises to prove it. The good news is, I did it and I can’t wait to get a little more purple next week!

That’s about all I’ve been up to, I’ve been spending so much time reading blogs that I really have no energy to actually blog. My feed reader probably hits about 300/day and I read every single one of them. Crazy, I know – but it’s all part of a little something I have up my sleeve!

I’m off to do some homework – so I can spend tomorrow creating!

Hope you had a good weekend =)

Rather than making “Resolutions”, I’ve decided to use the term “Goals”.

Here’s my list – I’ll try and keep it updated once things are accomplished

• Learn to Snowboard
• Lose 60lbs
• Create a Fitness Blog
• Take More Photos
• Learn To Sew
• Learn to Silkscreen
• Get a Job
• Get out of debt
• Create a savings
• Create a successful site
• Keep Decorating Cakes

That’s all for now! I’m sure I’ll keep adding to this list throughout the year.

I still can’t believe it’s 2010 – I’m not entirely sure where 2009 went but I’m kind of glad it’s over!

I have a few cakes to post – one that I didn’t even take a picture of but it was so cute!
All of my Wilton courses are complete! Next I’m taking a class on gum paste flowers – which is pretty exciting.

Speaking of cakes – I guess I should mention Christmas!
I got a KitchenAid stand mixer, and it is absolutely awesome. Baking and making icing is SOOOOOOO much easier. I just throw everything in and I can do other things at the same time.

I also got a Yudu machine (which I haven’t used yet – but I don’t know what to make first!), and a Cricut machine!
The BF got me a DSi, a Chapters gift card (which I bought SEVEN books with), some new headphones (only one ear in my current ones were working), and a couple other things.

I’ve been spending the majority of my time lately in bed – I got sick JUST before New Years Eve and I haven’t had much energy to do anything. Luckily I really have nothing to do!

NYE was fun – just a low key house party. I got to decorate and make a cake! Two things I love doing =)

Anyway – I’m off to watch more How I Met Your Mother (best show ever.), I’ll be back to post 2010 goals and some other fun things!
