scarf

I have been wanting to make one of these scarfs for awhile now and since I have plans to go north this coming Friday it is now time that I will need one. I started with 1/3 yard of black fleece. {I had looked at more interesting colors/patterns, but my jacket is white, with some red and black...decided black was my best choice. Discovered that there are so many shades of red.} I cut it in half and laid the 2 pieces on top of each other and sewed down the middle. This was nerve wracking for me to make sure that it stayed straight but it was actually quite simple.













Now onto a half inch from the middle on the right.













1/2 inch from the middle on the left.

I then laid it out and cut every 2 inches on each side.

Here it is all completed sporting it with my coat.

Welcome 2010

We went over to a friend's house for dinner and game playing New Year's Eve, but we left about 11:40 p.m. Reason being Eric was falling asleep and I really don't like being on the roads after midnight. Once we got home the kids were wired and ready for some sparklers so we hung out in the driveway and counted down to the new year with sparklers. Once the sparklers were done we went out in the backyard and watched the fireworks that neighbors were setting off. We were all in bed and asleep by 12:30 a.m.

The above picture is my favorite...just wish that Tyler's sparklers would have stayed little just a little bit longer. (It is not easy getting pictures of 2 boys together with sparklers, but a mom sure does try.)

Oh and while all of the sparkler fun was going on Dad sat behind us and kept yawning BIG yawns.
