Since school let out this past May, I've found myself somewhat bored with being home (hence the blog). I've no idea what to do with my time OR this whole "blog" thing, so I'm going to use it to post pictures and such of the things I've been occupying my time with. Here goes nothing!
Ok for starters: I have an addiction to plants and dirt. I think they're cool. The first word I have ever spoken on this earth was "flower"-- I really dig (no pun intended) gardening. I also have this terrible "maternal" instinct that causes me to want to take care of anything and everything put in front of me, right down to some corn seeds I stumbled upon earlier this summer. The two combined (maternal instinct and love of dirt) brought about these beautiful little plants that will hopefully yield some beautifully delicious and sweet corn.
I'd be lying if I said that I grew all of the corn in the garden from seeds. Sadly, only two of the plants I have were grown entirely by me. The other plants were grown by a local nursery. I'll be posting more pictures of my corn as it gets larger.
Onto my next project: my rainbow awesomeness blanket! I started it sometime near my birthday, which was mid-May, so I've been working on the damned thing for a very long time. It's still not finished yet but is very, very close! What inspired me to make a blanket during the heat of the summer is beyond me-- it's so warm and heavy to work on that I've been stalling quite a bit. Regardless, I love it.
Doesn't it just make you want to snuggle?
Anyways, those are my latest two projects! The more I write the more things I am coming up with to post, so in order to save whoever happens to be reading this a very long, boring time, I'm going to stop now. For further enjoyment, or enjoyment sans reading, check out the flickr. Later!

Great blog start! And fantastic pictures. I'm excited to keep reading, so keep posting.
Hey there! I came here via your post on Ravelry. Welcome to blog land! Nice work - I agree with yarnprincess.
I wasn't sure if I'd like blogging - I thought I might feel pressured if I didn't blog regularly, but I found it to be really fun, and I've made a bunch of friends by doing it; and even met a few in person.
So good luck! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I started an afghan for my grandson in May--put it down when it got hot--will pick it back up this fall. It is about 60% done. It can be found in my projects on ravelry. I am luvtoknit there Your afghan is lovely.
Super photos!
Welcome to blog land!!!
I started my website so I'd have something to do (besides homework) in between the field hockey season. That was almost 9 years ago. Welcome to the dark side.
I kind of want to start gardening, but I have a feeling that I would abandon everything in a week. My parents loved gardening. They gave me asparagus as my first project when I was about 13. My best friend's mother told me years later that asparagus is one of the hardest things to grow. Ha. :)
Welcome to the blogging world! I like your blanket. Come see my log cabin blanket! I'm at http://pdxknitterati.com or MicheleLB on Ravelry...
I came over from your ravelry post too. I love the blanket (esp. the name you've given it)!! Yes, it does just make me want to snuggle! :)
I think it looks great! And your blanket is going a lot faster than my afghans. It will be great to snuggle with in the winter.

I'm jealous of your plot of earth! And the colors in your blanket are lovely. You go right ahead and be proud!
Hi! found your post on Ravelry and wanted to say HI! (I'm Lizzardimus over there.)
Your pictures are awesome. That makes me want to do a post on my garden!!
I love the blanket! And it's not strange to knit a blanket in summer. I'm so addicted to blankets, store bought or hand-knit. I use one year round, even in triple digits and 90+ percent humidity. They're cozy and comforting!
