It Could Be Fun
I'm just going to put this out there... I LOVE to color!! I know, I'm 30 years old, but I don't care :)
Perhaps I just enjoy the simplistic creativity that coloring brings. And I'm pretty sure it relieves stress too. So in light of my passion for coloring, my attentive husband gave me this as part of my birthday gift:
Silly and juvenile? Probably, but maybe this is my first step towards learning how to draw? Or maybe all I'll ever do is color... but I'll never know if I don't just try!
Have a great weekend ;)

Display Additions
My very first display purchase has arrived! Thanks to my dear husband for picking this up as a birthday gift add-on!! ;)
 |
| Styrofoam Mannequin Head |
NOW, not only can I use this to display my hats at shows, I can also use it to take photos of my hat designs and post them on this blog. I have to say I was fighting the urge to get weirded out when I was looking for mannequin heads online. I'm so happy I found something that works, was inexpensive, and wasn't too creepy. Thanks to Melissa @ Mel's Crocheted Creations for sharing where she found her own styrofoam heads.
Until next time, make it a creative day! :)

More Good News from VK
Here we go... for those of you technologically savvy knitters out there, Vogue Knitting just released their FREE publications app for iPad!
 |
| Search "Vogue Knitting" at the Apps Store |
So of course I downloaded it and am already loving the possibilities. Unfortunately, you still have to pay for the publications, but you would have to pay for them anyway if you bought the physical magazine. I can't/shouldn't buy the Spring-Summer 2011 zine because... well... my birthday is on Sunday and I have every reason to believe that it might be part of the annual celebration offerings. However, if I'm wholly mistaken, be sure that I will have it on my iPad promptly on Monday morning. Either way, I'll review this all later while you anxiously await. Or better yet, download the app, and buy the pub, then investigate for yourself and definitely share your findings with the rest of us here!!

I know I will :)

Maybe it's not super exciting or really adventurous, but they are all things that I want and/or feel I need to do. I tried to be realistic while setting my goals so that I'll actually reach all of them without driving myself crazy in the process. Do you have any goals that you want to reach before your next birthday? Feel free to share! :)
