My quest for domesticity

I got a flu shot a few weeks ago, but despite I precautionary efforts, I'm still sick. I'm sick with domestisits or craftoidosis (an inflammation of the desire to cook, craft, and other wifey things). It is serious. It all started this summer while we were in Las Vegas and I was desperate for something to do. I signed up for a knitting class. It then spawned into other crafts and here I am, searching for the nearest JoAnn's to satisfy my crafting needs.

Here is a little bag I made to hold my sewing crap.....scissors, needles, thread, seam ripper, etc. I couldn't start any projects until my sewing stuff was contained.
Here is the scarf I learned to knit while in Vegas. Bill thinks it looks christmassy, it isn't, it's gray and red, not green and red. Here is the bag I made, I love it. I'm just going to tell you, just in case you can't tell, it is really cute. It has pleats, cute fabric and nice big pockets. It is also really big. Big bags are in. Wouldn't this have been the perfect size to take on a sleep over back in the day.
Are you wondering why Bill looks so.....solemn? Well I tried to make him model my new bag and he refused. He said modeling my bag would be like me modeling a jock strap. Enough said. I made him model my scarf instead.
My current craft, I'm knitting a beanie for Bill. My first time using circular needles. My quest for domesticity continues.

My lack of creativity

Well it's Grandma Harvey's 80 birthday next week and the only reason why I can blog about this is because I'm pretty sure that the Harvey's don't have internet. Moving on, all the kids and families of the kids have to make a scrap book page for a book we are making her. Since I am not creative at all, I called on my sister Marianne to help me......more like do it for me. I even offered to pay her to do it but she would not consent. So I went over to her house with a couple of pictures and some paper that I picked out and went to work. Well I did a little, you know taping down things and helping her trace.....I even picked out some more paper to use for my page out of her incredibly stocked craft room. Anyways, the page looks great and all I can say is "Job well done Mari, you're a genius when it comes to crafts...well in all things for that matter" Anyways, I think Grandma Harvey will like all the pages that will come from the Michael J Harveys, they all have the same.....shall we say Marianness. I'm saying this as a compliment, the MJ Harveys pages are going to look phenomenal, too bad for all the other Harveys, they will have a lot to live up to. So here is a sneak peak at the page...so hopefully this will help you Liz.
