So I just got tagged lol. This seems like fun... now I just have to think of 8 random facts about me... oh gee...

1. I was born in Winnipeg Manitoba (sorry, that's boring haha)
2. My favourite video game EVER is Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic.
3. I LOVE to knit.
4. I read. A LOT. And my favourite books to read are old old old classics like Dante's Divine Comedy, Ovid's Metamorphoses, etc.
5. I'm 22 and I still haven't finished high school .
6. I am really interested in Chinese culture and hope to visit China someday.
7. I play the bass guitar.
8. When I was in high school, I taught myself sign language from a book. I still remember most of what I learned....

Well, I guess that wasn't so hard .

So I am super excited because I just got my new ring order . I now have a whole bunch of colours of enamelled copper and some more silver. I just don't know what to do with it now! lol. I made a bracelet for my mom, but that's it so far. I am ALMOST finished the Christmas presents I'm making for my family. I knitted them all scarves, and now I have to do the tedious task of sewing in all the loose ends. I hate doing that, so I've left it til the very last minute lol.

This morning, my mom and I watched White Christmas and had tomato soup and it was so great! White Christmas is absolutely positively my FAVOURITE Christmas movie ever, but I haven't seen it in a few years, so it put me in such a good mood for the rest of the day. Tomato soup isn't really a Christmas thing, but I haven't had that in years either, so it was just really good! I love the Christmasy, wintry feeling.

Well, I don't get on here much these days. Truth be told, I haven't had a lot of time for making my usual chainmail either. I tend to be one of those people who has a bazillion hobbies and jumps from one to another depending on the season lol. As of late I have been knitting. A LOT. I have been a knitter since before I can even remember. My grandmother was a knitter, and my mom is a knitter, therefore I learned at a very young age. I haven't really done it in a while, but about a year ago I picked up some needles and yarn to knit a sweater for the nephew I was expecting. And since then I've been addicted... again! Just this past month, I knit seven scarves, a purse and a hat. I'm also working on another scarf, a wall hanging and am waiting for my size 8 needles to be freed up so I can start knitting a hat my sister has commissioned me to make! I've also managed to spark my sister's interest in knitting and she has already made herself a scarf and is onto another one!

I just got a new bust for displaying necklaces. I'm pretty excited about this, since I've been looking EVERYWHERE for them. Turns out NOWHERE in my area sells them (unless there is some obscure craft shop I don't know about) and I had to go all the way to Toronto to get one!! So now I've been going a bit camera happy and taking many snaps of old things I'd never even taken pictures of before. The pictures aren't the greatest yet. I've just been dinkin around. I've yet to figure out the perfect time, place and lighting for the best quality pictures I can take. But now that I've got the new bust, I'm on my way to perfect pictures .
