Yesterday was fun. I got the box of stuff for the kids goody boxes for the company picnic. I had a lot of fun putting them together and seeing all the stuff. I'm super excited.
After I got home from work Vallerie and I went to Hobby Lobby. I bought some yarn. I had a great idea to make Vallerie a crochet doll, so I needed some yarn for that and also for some can koozies that one of my co-workers asked me to make. I needed a special blue color. I also got some cutter blades and a glass jar. The glass jar is to put the shells we collected on vacation in, along with some sand. I'll probably do some decoration on the front of it so we don't forget where we got them.
We had Chinese food for dinner. It was yummy. Vallerie was only really interested in the rice.
After Vallerie was in bed I started on her doll. I have the head and half of the body done. I am a little worried about adding the hair. I'm not sure I know how, but I have looked online and there are some decent tutorials on there. I am also unsure of what kind of eyes to add. Don't know if I will do buttons or safety eyes. Vallerie is old enough not to chew off the buttons, so I'm not really concerned about safety. I am scared to use the safety eyes because once they are on, you can't get them off, and if I put them in the wrong place I would have to crochet the head all over again. I might just do buttons this time, and then if I make another one, use the safety eyes since I will have an idea of where they should go. The doll's body/dress is a really pretty turquoise color with silver shiny stuff mixed in. It's going to be so pretty.
While I was crocheting I watched some Dr. Who. I'll probably do the same tonight.
I didn't want to get up this morning. I kept hitting the snooze button. I did manage to make it to work on time though.
