A Little Bit of Nothing

I haven't accomplished much of anything lately, which leads to the fact that I haven't had much of anything to post about.

I have finished crocheting a couple of potholders...not these ones, but the same "pattern," just different yarn:

I am working on building up my stash of potholders, which I will probably distribute amongst my husband's family as gifts (maybe for Christmas next year).  So far, I think that I have three sets of 2.  

In other crafty news, I haven't worked on any of those other projects I mentioned in my last post.  The baby shower is this Saturday.  I do have some things that I made a while ago, which will be part of the gift.  I anticipate that I will make the rest of the gift tomorrow night.  There is nothing like being on a tight schedule procrastination.

I did go out and buy the material so that I can participate in Little Miss Shabby's Birdie Stitches Block of the Month.  I'm not using the Sunkissed fabric, mainly because...well, I don't know...I just decided to switch it up.  I am using Sugar Pop! by Moda.  I'm sure it will be great once it is finished.  So far, I'm still cutting my 2.5" squares so that I can piece the block and get January's embroidery design traced on.  I got sucked into inspired to do this block of the month when I saw Ellyn's cute block.  Of course, I guess I was "lucky" that it is still only the first month...otherwise, I'm sure I probably would not have joined in.  I also plan to follow Ellyn's lead and go ahead and make up all of the blocks now so that I only have to embroider the stitch design each month. 

In the non-crafty area, I have been sticking to my resolution of wearing my hair down.  That's been pretty much every work day so far.  I've been making it easy on myself the last week or so.  My hair has lots of natural wave in it, especially as it grows longer.  So, if I just add some leave in conditioner and scrunch it up with some mousse, and throw in a headband...and it looks pretty decent.  The thing I love the most about this "style" is that it takes me all of about 3 minutes!

I'm trying to think if there is anything else I want to say, but I don't think so....

Oh, yes!  We are nearing the end of my third week with my student teacher...did I tell you I was going to have a student teacher?  Anyway, it's going along well, but I am exhausted at the end of the day.  I have come to realize that my time in my car, driving from school to school...that's my down time.  Well, add another person to the car and I am talking all day long and I guess it is just wearing me out!
