bring in the new year





Happy new year!




Mason jar + champagne

stupid bruise (NOT caused by champagne)
It has been almost 3 months since I quit smoking, and since then I've been a bit like a fruit fly on crack, in that I find little ways to occupy myself, but for short periods of time. Keeping updated here would have been crazy and impossible because I wasn't interested in any one craft long enough to take pictures, write about what I was doing and hit the post button. But here's a taste of what I've done in that time.
Thanksgiving, baking, and wearing a hand made hat and triangle scarf.
Baking and knitting. I also did some writing on a story I started a year ago, but obvs I couldn't take a picture of that. You probably wouldn't want a to see that anyways. ...chaos. really.
Learning new crafts:


Making apple pomegranate liqueur!

Unfortunately I didn't do everything I wanted to in 2012 (I blame pinterest...just kidding), but I did things I never thought I'd do, and I'm certain I'll do more hopefully awesome and unexpected things in 2013.
Here's some of my faves (recaps!)
Twin Peaks themed tattoo



New glasses

More baking

cleaning and organizing my kitchen (newer pic)

showing off my pretty spice jars
For the holidays I got lots of new yarn, specialty types, so my goal for the new year in knitting is to work with materials I've never used before, and to eventually write my own patterns. I also have an idea for dishcloth knitting, but I'm not ready to share that yet.
In 2012 I quit smoking and using any nicotine products, and started an exercise program, which I want to continue to expand. My main goals for the new year are to keep busy and to work on positive things.
What are your goals for 2013?
