Miso Monday

Man, I missed two Miso Mondays! I'm hoping I'll be better about posting, but life and holidays happened and blogging got placed on the back burner. But stay tuned, I have some fun posts planned for this week!

Miso Monday

I've been playing around with Muj's big fancy camera. I must confess I've pretty much only take pictures of Miso (are you surprised? Look at my blog...) Anyways, check out this mid-yawn shot of Miso. I love those kitty yawns.

Happy Monday!

A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. 

Habibi

I recently finished reading this graphic novel by Craig Thompson. It was incredible. I started it on afternoon and couldn't put it down. I ended up finishing it that very night. I was really impressed and surprised at how the author shows the similarities in Christianity and Islam. I never realize how similar their stories are, and the way he weaves it into the story is amazing.  The illustrations are astonishing, each page is a piece of art. I just looked at the Amazon page and saw that a large majority of it is available in the "Look Inside" section when you click the image. Seriously, check out a couple pages, and read it if it sounds at all interesting. You won't be sorry.

Happy Halloween!

Crochet Inspiration

We had a Craft Club a couple weeks ago and I brought along my crochet bag that I haven't touched in well over a year. I was very fortunate to be surrounded by knowledgeable crocheters/knitters so they could remind me how to do it. I just recently finished crocheting these.

I think Miso likes them. I'm pretty proud of how these turned out, crochet wise. This is some of the best crochet I've ever done, though I'm not sure I like how they fit, probably due to my improvising on the pattern I used (because I still don't really understand how to read patterns, or finish it off, so I do my best).

Now that I finally finished this project and just inherited a ton of knitting needles, I'm itching to start something new, and fantasizing about the future when I'm super awesome and can crochet and knit anything I want (a girl can dream, right?) Here are a few off my list of "Someday Projects":

    

 

I better get busy!
