crochet, crochet, crochet

I took these photos of a few of the amazing crochet patterns in the crochet pattern set that Sconey and I managed to score at a Garage Sale in the weekend. I just love the little hooded jacket - I wish I could make myself one! The 'father and son matching hat & scarf set' is absolutely adorable. And what can I say about 'tommy the turtle'!! The little fruit appliqués are quite cool too. There are also quite a few hideous patterns that belong in the 70s and should NEVER be made again.

Hopefully I'll find some inspiration to crochet something and FINALLY learn to crochet!

I read 'Lullaby' by Chuck Palahniuk last night. It was really good. Disturbing but good. Chuck was the guy who wrote 'Fight Club' (you've probably seen the movie). So thanks Sconey for recommending it. I think I'll read a few more of his books! And - its another book crossed off my 101 books to read.

D started Indoor Football tonight - hopefully their team will have more luck indoors than they have had outdoors!!

i love sushi train

I love Sushi Train. D & I go to this Japanese sushi bar quite often and its the first Japanese Restuarant off my 101 list. Its so fun sitting at the bar, deciding which plates to get. (You pay by the plate) Sashimi is my usual favourite, but this week I discovered a new favourite in the deep fried tofu. Its extremely yummy and melts in your mouth. To finish off, we shared a plate of Green Tea Ice-Cream. ~Yum!

It was a early start to the weekend today as Sconey, D, and I got up to do the garage sales! We did have one amazing find in the form of a crochet pattern set! Talk about fantastic motivation for me to learn to crochet! As it was a joint find - we are going to 'share' it. There are hundreds of funky old-school patterns for us to try.

I'm progressing through my list of books & movies, but haven't actually crossed anything off my 101 list! Hopefully on Tuesday my sewing machine will be ready to be picked up and I can cross that off!

And as usual, my blog is a construction zone while I play with the html....
