Lots has happened - as always I'm slacking on my blog :)
Found out today I'm going to be a for real Auntie! I have one "niece" currently - my best friends absolutely adorable daughter! Today I found out that my baby brothers girlfriend is pregnant so I'm going to have a real niece/nephew this winter! I am super excited and disappointed all at the same time. I'm super excited for all the obvious reasons but disappointed because they live about 10 states away! I haven't seen my baby brother since 2006 and I've already missed a ridiculous amount of stuff in both his and our sisters lives and here it is, I'm going to miss even more :-/
So YAY and boo all at the same time :-/

satisfied.......
So today I finally finished an afghan I was working on for my oldest friend.
I don't get to see her as much as I want to. I know she has other people in her life that she is spends more of her time with and shares more of her life with and I know we have changed so much in our many, many years of friendship but I still consider her my best friend.
It has taken me well over a month to complete and considering it is my first adult sized afghan I am rather happy with it's outcome. It is not perfect, and neither am I.

Snuggles Project
So I joined a group that makes blankets and toys for shelter animals, it is called The Snuggles Project.
http://www.snugglesproject.org/
Anyone that knows me knows that I have four cats. Three of them were shelter babies that my boyfriend and I fell in love with and scooped up. My fourth, and oldest kitty, was a little feral kitty that I found around my first apartment.
Having shelter babies and knowing people who have worked in shelters, this project means a lot to me. I can't take everyone home like I would love to do, but at least I can try and give them some comfort before they find their forever home.
Over the course of time, you will see pictures of some of my Snuggles that I donate.

Hello....
Hello to anyone who decides they have the time to read my rants and raves and check out the misc. crafty stuff I do.
I have multiple creative outlets because I hate sitting still and I always need something to do. I'm a photographer, a knitter, a crocheter and a sewer. I will try most crafty things out there. I'm NOT a scrapbooker though...I just can never make my pages look good. I'll stick to taking the pictures.
The outlet that I am most passionate about though would be photography. I had always loved to take pictures but it has only been the past couple of years that I am actually trying to do something with it. I've recently signed up for an on-line photography course at NYIP.com because I don't have the time to actually go to school.
If you're interested you can check out my photography site here - http://doublejphotos.zenfolio.com/
I've recently learned how to knit and crochet and I have become a yarn addict. This site will be mostly dedicated to my many yarn projects over time.
As of not this is all I have to say....my postings I'm sure will be far and few between as I have never been good at keeping a journal, but I will post when I can.
