malicious splashing

i've been working on a hat from the happy hooker book for 4 days. i should've been able to complete it in night, but i've ripped it out twice :S the first time was because i didn't like the colours. the second i was almost finished when it became too apparent to ignore that the hat was far to big for me. the instructions were for only one size - which is really annoying because not all of use have a 23" circumference head! anyways, i think i've got it properly fixed now and i'll just continue like this for the rest of the pattern. i hope i can finish it soon, because that's so satisfying, but i hope it fits and i like the end product!

every year i like to set a doable new year resolution. they're not really normal resolutions, they're more like decisions that i've made and begin implimenting them around new year. anyways, with the purchase of a new house, i made the intentional decision for 2012 that i would be hospitable and welcoming when people drop by unexpectedly. and so far things are going well. mark and melissa dropped by last night and it was great. i'm so glad that our house is accessible and that people are stopping by to say hello.

i haven't been very productive in the evenings lately. i just want to crochet which means that the bedroom is in chaos after painting and i haven't continued unpacking the last of our things. that said, a lot is unpacked, there's just a few things i'd like to finish up. no doubt i'll soon grow tired of doing nothing but sitting and crochetting, then i'll start being productive again. i'm looking forward to that, but am in no great rush either.

man, i love our house. i like it c'oz it's compact. the old place was oddly laid out. everything is close together and yet roomy. the wood floors are lovely. and i really enjoy the use of space. i'm really thankful.
