Knitting

Lately I've been knitting.  I am horrible at knitting, I would much rather crochet, but none the less, I've been knitting.

Here is something, possibly, eventually, a large infinity scarf, that I have been knitting with huge plastic needles.  It's going pretty well.  Keep in mind, I only know one stitch.

I decided to try a knitting loom.  I think it makes everything more consistent but seems very time consuming.

By the time I get either of these done it might be spring and I will no longer have a need for warm knitwear.  Sorry this post is not very entertaining or informative.  I am in no position to teach anyone how to knit!

Stumped

I have a french door refrigerator, and I want to find a better way to organize it and keep it clean.  One big goal is to make sure it is easy to figure out what I have so nothing goes to waste.  This is a picture on the freezer side.  As you can see, and as is the problem with everything else, I have to much stuff!  I guess I think I may starve if the freezer isn't crammed full!

While I am not yet ready to organize it yet, since I need to be eating some items to make room, I have been researching organizing tips for this style of refrigerator.  I have found a few good things, but not much.  I feel like it is harder to organize the tall narrow space on each side.  If I ever get it looking better I'll definitely make a post to let you know what I did.  But if anyone has any suggestions that would be great!  I also think I need to be looking for a running list of what is in my refrigerator, freezer, and pantry.  This way I will know what I have on hand and what I need to purchase.  Any thoughts?

Some fun paintings I made to hang in our basement.  I just love the circles!

And of course I had to attempt to paint portraits for my girls!

Roxie

Talley

I had more of a difficult time with Talley's portrait.  I think it's because she is in strange position in the photo I made the painting from, and I had trouble showing depth with her arms.  It would be better if I cropped it.  Roxie's photo fills up the canvas and is more off center, which looks better to the eye.  But all in all I'm pretty happy with them, especially since I was just trying to have fun with it and painting them because I had nothing better to do at the time.  Wish I had that kind of free time now!
