New Year, New Hobbies, New Resolution

OK. So the last blog I posted was back in September. Lots has happened since then.

First of all, I got a job. I now am employed at the BWI Corporate office. It's great. =)

I moved into my own apartment. That's also great. And conveniently located a quarter of a mile from my work (that is being generous) and it is in the same neighborhood as Ryan. My gas bill has dropped drastically.

I have several new hobbies. One is sewing and making cute shirts. Like these.

And headbands. Although, I've only made this one and have lots to work on before they are perfected.

I am currently waiting for a sewing machine from one of my grandmothers. I can't wait to get them seeing as how I discovered the discount fabric bin at Hobby Lobby.


I have also learned how to knit. I am currently working on a scarf (or so I think this is what it will be, I just started knitting)

The really cool thing about this is that these are the same needles my Grandmother learned to knit on. 

This is my Granddaddy and Grandmother. <3 them!

(both over 80 and still kicking like crazy)

My New Year's Resolution is to

1. Read more

2. Blog more

3. Work on my hobbies.

My book list for 2011 is:

1. Jane Eyre (I've read it before, but there is a movie coming out that looks actually good, so I've got to reread it)

2. Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand (Just loved reading Fly Boys andFlags of our Fathers. This book reminded me of those two and I want to read it.)

3. The Kennedy Detail by Gerald Blaine (It just looks interesting.)

4. The Zoo Keeper's Wife by Diane Ackerman (I've had this book for a year. I now have no college textbooks to read, therefore, it is time!)

5. Crazy Love by Francis Chan. (Because I want to be "overwhelmed by a relentless God.")

I know I have a gazillion more books on my bookshelf that I need to read. A lot of them are history books. (Yes, I realize I am a nerd.) 

As far as blogging more, I really would like to blog two or three times a week. Sadly, I don't see that happening as my life is rather boring. But perhaps if I work on goal #3 I'll have something to blog about. Once I get my sewing machine here, I hope to be able to create lots of cute things to sell.
