I was in Chicago last weekend for a Packaging Expo with my food packaging class. We had a good time, it was most of those Hokies first time in Chicago so they were pretty impressed. My camera died as soon as we got there, so I apologize for no Chicago pictures. We went to the aquarium on our half day off from the expo, and I wish my camera would have been working then because I would have got some good ones.

So it has been brought to my attention that this website has been checked by a few admiring fans who were hoping for new pictures, and were disappointed when they saw none. I got my camera working once again, so I thought I'd share some pictures of some of the crafty things I've been doing in my spare time.

Up first...the cross stitch. This is the one I worked on over the summer and finally finished once we moved here. It now serves as artwork so that our walls don't seem so bare.


Next, I sewed together this strange little piece of balcony flair. I just wanted to cheer our empty balcony up with something, and this was easy to do, and kind of unique.


Right now I'm teaching myself how to knit. I offered to make this into a scarf for Ian, but he was a little hesitant. We'll see how it turns out.


And how about some delicious chocolate covered red velvet cake balls. I made these over a week ago and they are so rich we still have a lot left. They are good, you just can't eat too many in at once.


So there you go, some pictures to enjoy. I'll make sure my camera is fully charged so we can take all kinds of pictures over Thanksgiving. But check in before then because who knows what we will decide to do this weekend. Miss you all!
