It's finally happened! I'm starting to join my tie-dye suns! It all started with one square. Now 24 squares later, I've graduated to ecru-colored yarn that'll be joining each of my squares together. So far, I have the first line of my blanket joined.
My hands are a bit sore, but I shall push forward. More updates to come! Sue

Now and then, I'll be sharing a new feature on my blog called Music Bits. It'll mainly focus on bands from the past, present, and not so distant future that I truly enjoy and wish to share with you.
As I was scrolling through Tumblr, I hearted a Blondie photo which got me thinking of all the bands I loved as a kid (I'm talking at the ripe old age of 9 all the way to my early teens). These were the bands that I danced to alone in my room, that inspired me to sketch and write poetry in my journal, and that kept me sane during the rough patches of my adolescence. It's funny how some songs can time warp you so vividly back to one moment of your life!
The Cure - Fascination Street
Blondie - Heart of Glass
The English Beat - Save it for Later
The Psychedelic Furs - Love my Way
New Order - Regret
So what songs or bands take you back in time? Love to hear from you! Sue

My first crochet project of the new year begins with the loveliest colorful yarn!
And here's a quick peek at what I've been working on this past week!
So far, I've made 8 cute little change purses. All I need is to add a lining to each one of them. I'll be posting some pics once they're complete. Sue

Hope everyone had a great New Year's Eve. Mine was quite festive. My bf and I went to a Masquerade themed party hosted by a very sweet couple. There were lots of champaigne, fireworks, and dancing involved. Right before midnight, many of us ate 12 grapes, each one symbolizes a wish or goal for the new year. I really love this tradition because it's something that I would do as little girl with my family on new year's eve (it's a very common tradition in some latin american countries).
With that said, here are my 12 "grapes" for the New Year:
1 - Have a _________ .(it's a secret for now!)
2 - Healthy living (eat smarter and start jogging)
3 - Complete my grannie square and tie-dye suns blankets
4 - Create a new line of cute items for my shop.
5 - Thrift, craft, and sew to decorate my new apartment.
6 - Blog at least 3x a week
7 - Start an art journal
8 - Create mini photo albums w/my instax cam
9 - Begin a sketch book
10 - Write poetry again
11 - Attend 2 to 4 craft fairs
12 - Travel somewhere exciting
Okay I've shared my 12 grapes, now it's your turn. What hopes or goals do you have the new year? Sue
