crafts and photo shows

how ’bout an update, you say? well i’ve still been working away on many knitting projects. christmas gifts were great, i made my nanna some leg warmers because she says she can never seem to keep her calves warm. i also made my sister some potholders because whenever josh and i are cooking at her house we have to use her dish towels to get things out of the oven! 

i’ve also been starting some embroidery for the first time..and i really like it! so far i’ve only done two projects, the first of which i won’t show because it’s pretty lame but this is the second one

it’s an M for maines..which will someday be my last name i really like embroidery because i feel like it’s more of an instant gratification than knitting. i’ve been in a real “crafty” mood lately..and i think it’s because i’ve been on winter break and whenever i’m out of school this whirlwind of craft ideas come swooping in once all the school crap is out of the way. this is my last semester of school (gasp!), which means my last few days of ever having school breaks, and i think my brain has been put into overdrive trying to get all of my ideas out while there’s still time. yeah i know i’ll have time for crafts even with a job and all but i think i’m psyching myself out a bit :/ 

anyway, i thought i’d post some of my photos that i’ve been taking lately with my diana!

josh and i were invited to show our photos in a photo show that’s coming up on february 7th at harrison st cafe, and we’re really excited! this is both of our first shows so we’re psyched to see how it turns out, and if anything sells!
