My Christmas Vacation

Yes my vacation was spent up north in Michigan. It was completely freezing but defiantly worth it to see my family:) Every time I go home I have the intent to relax but there is so much to do in so little time in the country. Here's a few pics.

I finished crocheting several gifts:) (2 blankets and 2 scarfs)

Went to Christmas Eve service...

.....and met this little guy.

On the road

I have been super busy this past week and on Friday Jerry and I drove from Tampa to Miami and back to Tampa in a day. My first time there and I got a little glance but the only downside was 9 hours of driving! Alligator Alley felt like forever and it was completely crazy to drive in one day but absolutely fun! Anyway I'm finishing up my Christmas gifts and there's like no time left. Fingers crossed I will finish:)

YAY!

My Etsy shop is officially open:) Check it out here.

It's Soon!

Christmas is super close and I still have so much to do. I finished crocheting two blankets but I still have two more to go. I have a few swaps I have to finish and several other presents. Plus I'm going to open my shop this week:) I can't wait! Here are a few previews.

The Masters

Every year I go to the Festival of the Masters at Downtown Disney and every year I'm amazed. They have some of the top artists in the country, chalk artists, and several activities.

While I was there I found a store devoted to vinyl Mickey's (aka Vinylmation). Its so amazing they have this huge table that showcases all the vinyl Mickey's and they have this awesome chandelier.
.

I specifically was looking forward to seeing this artists artwork. She creates all her paintings on recycled pieces of wood.

I saw some pretty awesome sidewalk chalk art...

... and Basin had a sculptor carve Mickey of course out of a 300 pound peppermint soap to display for Christmas. Speaking of Christmas I can't wait! I have been crafting up a storm. Plus I'm going to open my etsy shop soon:)

Hooked!

I'm addicted to crocheting and I can't stop. I just finished another blanket for a Christmas present and I'm half way done with another. I joined a couple swaps so I have a few squares to create for that and a special gift for a dear friend.


Also I went to starbucks today and they have Peppermint Mocha!!! It was perfect since it has been really chilly here.

Happy Halloween!
