Back again with a Greener path

Being green can also equal being crafty!!! I will show you how, but first some apologize and explaining to do.

As I have stated in the past the the hiatus would be temporary it has not. This I am sorry to my readers… Even if they are only my family and friends!  I will be making an honest effort to blog more and to keep in touch, not just so you can see all the crazy hair brain ideas I get.  But this will be my journal… my family and friends have said that I should get back in to my blogging and writing because I am more level when I do so… Here are my goals (new goals):

1. Blog MORE!! I pledge to try and post every day or atleast a few times a week.  The reason why – well I have been hushing myself and I have to much knowledge and interesting finds to share with you all… (who ever you are – Please leave comments so I can engage you too)

2.  Get my personal finances in order.  Well I have already started to try to do this – JUNE: Month to notate all the I am spending so I can analyze it and save.

3. Lose some weight – Well more engage in a more healthy lifestyle.  I am doing this not to be more “beautiful” because I love me the way I am.  But I am doing this to ensure that I am healthy and today we see so many with Diabetes and or Heart issues and I do not want to push my luck.  There are sub goals in this one:

• Eat more healthy foods – I have decided Healthy also means Local so I am enrolling in the 100 mile challenge.  I pledge to eat more, and more, and more local food.  *I will do this as long as I am not going to become broke by it*
• Exercise – In accordance with my saving and personal finance revamp I am going to exercise at home and outside (posts on this to come)
• Drink more water and fluids other than POP (aka Pepsi or Coke *my weakness*)

4.  Help to support local merchants… So buying local food and items.  Plus I will support the Handmade merchants so I think I am going to investigate items on Etsy!

5. Make the world greener! and my family too… I am going to make some nice green changes to my life… so that means cracking out the sewing machine and making some nifty items.  I will make sure I will let you all know what works and what doesn’t

6. Continue with my passion of cooking and food!  There will be food posts of all kinds! Food is technically a craft (kinda) too… its an Art!!

7.  Too Be Happy!  This will come over time and hopefully will show in my posts.

8.  Take more pictures – and share them

9.  Travel: explore my local area !  This is important to many of my above goals!  By exploring I will find new local merchants, friends and areas that I can green!  Plus I would really like to see more of Ontario! and my local area!

10.  To Keep crafting – to learn some new Crafts

11.  More to come…

I, Little Miss, pledge to honour my goals and post along the way!  I hope you all will help me along this journey!

Little Miss has moved…

Phyiscally… not the Blog…

Last week I moved into the city!  I have moved into Toronto so I am looking forward to going to the Toronto Knitters Guild.  They had Laura talking 2 weeks ago.  Also I am planning to evolved my crafting.  I would like to go find the Knit Cafe and Lettuce Knit.

I will have some more posts about the past few weeks.  I am just visiting some family right now.

Please if your a Toronto blogger leave me a comment! I am looking for some fun knit stuff to do.

*Tear*

I am so bored… Right now I am jobless and stressed out. All my knitting (and well all of my stuff) is in a 10×10 storage container. I really want to get it all out! I want my stuff back! I really just want a job!!

Knitting a scarf is getting SUPER boring… and I currently have one set of US5 needles and a ball of Vanna’s Choice yarn in green. It works as a Project Spectrum item, yet I am bored!! HELP ME I AM DIEING OF BOREDOM!!

Suggestions Welcome!

Ultimate Blog Party 2009

Come and Join all of us from March 20th to the 27th!

Getting back to Me

Well for those who have read there has been a lot of change that was supposed to happen.  I was supposed to move and start a new chapter; well that didnt work.  There were also a lot of personal issues and choices that I have taken to ensure my happiness.  I have decided to get back to the basics and do things that make me happy.  I am getting back into CRAFTMODE…

First order of craftyness is *drumroll*

Seeking Direction with 2009 Project Spectrum!

I have decided that this would be a good project since I get to do it over the next few months and I am going to learn some stuff along the way.  Thank you Lolly for setting this up again!

I am also wanting to learn french… I taught myself how to knit and crochet. I can learn french.  So if there is a random posting in french or about it that is why.  Plus I am going to explore France (via the net and library) as a Country and in their food.  I am really branching out.  Enjoy

Knitting Update:  Still working on my scarf – Picture updates soon.  The rest of my knitting is in a storage container.

Blizzard!

So today there is a crazy blizzard outside.  I must say it is very pretty all the snow covering the trees!  Yet this is all kind of unwanted since I am moivng in 3 days!  *sigh* I totally hate packing and moving.

On the Knitting front I have made some more head way with my green scarf.  Yet all my other projects are packed away to be safely taken to there new home.  I am super excited to move, and I will have my own little craft nook set up.  An area where I am going to have all my knitting, crochet, sewing and more.  I may actually get to sew some stuff now (since i have more space).

This is the idea that I have for my closet… There is a long 12′ section that  I can set up all this closet stuff in.

I should get the keys today or tomorrow *fingers crossed* and I will post some pictures.  If you have any suggestions I am all ears!

Burr Its Cold

Well when not at work I have been bundled up… I did get out my scarf project and I have been working on it.  There is a few inches more than in the picture.  I am going to visit the family this weekend so I hope to have it finished by Sunday!

Other than the scarf I am not doing an other knitting just because I am moving and it is packed… I will be back in the swing soon!

As an aside, I am also thinking about starting my own cooking business.  I want to be a personal chef.  I am doing a lot of research about it!

If you know anyone in the field please send me a email or leave a comment!!

Miss me?

I didn’t think so… well there have been a monument of changes that have occurred in my life… Since September my man and I are no longer together (we weren’t married) yet it was hard.  I have started a new creative path in the sense I went back to school and started taking culinary!  Yes I do cook and cook well ;o).  I have changed a lot in 2008.  I had made some resolutions back in 2008 to do with my craftiness and well they subsided due to the ever changing of my life.  I do hope to fulfill more of those this year.

On the needles currently:

- Green Scarf

- Earth tone cowl (which was going to be a hat but is way too big)

- Knitty Fetching gloves

Those are my current projects… I am also trying to spin.  More to come on that since I have been reading some posts on it .

Just an aside for those I am MOVING… ) still in the same city but from an apartment to a house! I am excited.  It has a pool! Which will be wicked!

So far with my scarf

MIA

Well I know I have been MIA… althought the weather is getting colder and that mean Little Miss is back in the knitting mood.

I have made some plans to pick up my sticks… so I will show you how that goes…
