Saturday Projects, Doodles & Floral Sneakers

I picked up a few materials for a new knit project today that I've had in my head for quite some time now. I love updating plain shirts and such with yarn! The possibilities are endless. While shopping for supplies at Target I got distracted by the shoes section when I found these adorable floral sneakers! In my size too! That is always the tricky part...am I right tall girls? ;-) I've always wanted a pair of floral sneakers. Does that make me sound like an old lady? Yes. Yes it does.

I worked on the knit project a little bit this afternoon. I will have it ready to share next week! Fun! It is perfect for my fellow knitters who are forced to knit in inhumanely hot temperatures this summer like myself. I also took a little doodle break this afternoon. It feels a little weird to only doodle in a notebook now that I don't have any boring lecture notes to scribble on. That is a strange group of objects, huh? Glasses, a latte, a phone, a slice of cake, a shirt, and ice cream. Believe me, it all makes sense in my mind. I think. Haha. At least we all know what the strawberry doodle means. I checked the strawberry yarn bomb again today and it is STILL there! A whole week! I can't believe it.

Now we are getting ready to go out to dinner for an early Father's Day celebration! My dad picked the restaurant, of course. He is the best! :)

What fun, crafty things did you do today? Do you have any plans to celebrate your dad this weekend?

Happy Saturday!

  5. Sounds like a great Saturday to me. For the record, I love the floral 'granny' shoes. If that is granny chic, then count me in!

    I can't believe your yarn bomb is still there!!! How long do they usually stay in place? It would be so cool if you could track them and see who eventually picks them up and carries them home....

    Enjoy your dinner with your dad! :)
