Halloween 2011

I'm not sure if I posted any photos from Halloween 2011 so here's some cute ones!

Three Amineko

So sleepy!

Boundary Bay Moustache Marathon

I ran in the Boundary Bay Moustache Marathon this morning and this is the medal I got for finishing! It was my first official 5k run and I came in under 35 minutes which is really good. I'm very proud of myself and am going to start training for 10k next...

Toast (1993-2011)

Toast, my kitty living with my parents, passed away on October 31. All in all, it's been quite a week of loss.

Ricky (200-2011)

We recently lost our dog, Ricky, to a medical issue. We are sad and we miss him.

Bulldog Hat

And here's the dog hat that was commissioned for a Christmas present that was found just a little early by a snooping child...

Frog Hat

This is my best frog hat ever! It's a custom order for a new friend and I'm looking forward to seeing her reaction to it. I hope her son likes it!

Canucks Practice Game

Our neighbour gave us four tickets to the Canucks practice. It was fun! Thanks, Theo!

An Amineko for Amina

Early this week, while cooking Violetts favourite food, macaroni and cheese, there came a knock on the door. I looked out the window to see Farhad, a co-worker of Scotts. He had come bearing an invitation to his daughters third birthday party for this Saturday.

As you may or may not know I refuse to buy gifts for children if I can make one instead. What to do with less than a week?

Luckily I had a head and a body finished in the Amineko pattern, but had put off making the rest because using a 2.25 mm crochet hook is a little on the tough side considering it's very small.

I buckled down and got to work and here he is in lovely shades of the ocean. I'm very happy that he turned out the way he did and that he was finished with plenty of time to spare. Yay!
