Some of my Xmas Gifts

I'm usually pretty nice, save some of my naughty moments, all year so Santa, aka Mommy and Daddy (yes, at 27 years of age, I still call my parents Mommy and Daddy. What's it to ya? LOL.), hooks a sista up. I'm probably spoiled but I'm a good daughter and they'll probably be Santa till my husband comes along and can take over spoiling me rotten. :D

My mom got me this book b/c one, I pimped her into getting it for me when we were in Jo-Ann Fabrics Etc. on Christmas Eve and two, because she knew I was teaching myself to knit and that I dig neck cowls; they are the epitome of mixing effortless chic and functionality in my opinion. I'm excited to knit a cowl from this book when I get good enough. They have some great designs in there; all shown on the cover.




This book I had been Jonesin for for a while. I saw it back when I went home for Thanksgiving and was with my mom at Jo-Ann's. My mother and I spend a lot of time bonding at Jo-Ann's, Michael's, any craft related or fabric store, really when I'm home to visit. So imagine my surprise when I unwrapped this beauty under the Xmas tree. Can't wait to make some of the clothes in it. I've been inspired lately to bust out my sewing machine and do some thangs. Watch me work.








Off topic thought....... I'm thinking of adding some cool print aprons (full ones and short ones) to my shop: http://www.sofysticatedphunk.etsy.com/ (It's bare bones in there now b/c I'm working on new items to add). What do you all think? I think it's cute and dig aprons but maybe the general public thinks differently. Let me know! When I make mine, I'll share it and maybe even do a giveaway for it. Who knows!

Diggin my books I got? Check em out here:

I think aprons would be great...and maybe knit some potholders too.
