Changing Priorities...

It's crazy how you move through time, your priorities change, the things you enjoy and dislike change. Beginning of university, I remember it was days of minimal studying and in the pub every night with my mates spending my student loan, and of course living with my dad.

Moving through the university years, spending less time drinking and more time studying, getting engaged to my boyfriend, moving in with my fiancé...

Now graduating, looking for PhDs and I rarely go out for drinks.

I am in my mid twenties almost, never thought of the day where I would be saying that and now I am thinking about having babies in my late twenties.....but I want to get married first, be a bit traditional.

Since it wont be long until I am in my late twenties, I figured I would start doing some planning now...I must say I am feeling really excited, even though the list of responsibilities with it seem to mounting up along with the budget....but bring it on!

Time to become bridezilla!

Graduation Celebrations

Photographs showing various bits through my day, which was wonderful but very exhausting. It's strange to think I am now finished and I actually have a degree, now onwards to the next...hopefully a PhD! Ready! Set! Go!

Knit-A-Square - First Package to Post

Feeling excited now, I have my first package to go to South Africa and it contains my two knitted squares and a crocheted square with a personal note saying that I made them.

I am also knitting a square vest as well, as you can make them hats, socks....anything that will keep them warm :)

Knit-A-Square

Knitted two squares for Knit-A-Square charity.



I am now learning to crochet, so that I can crochet a square using these instructions.

You should knit a square too! They need 175,000 squares to make blankets and keep children warm....the squares are only 8 x 8" in size, so it doesn't take long to knit at all!

For more information, if you do want to help, visit their Knit-A-Square site and my previous blog post where you will find more details :)

Knitting Squares

Sitting last night, thinking what could I do with my time, yes I am still on this situation.

Something for charity, I could do something for charity.

Typed in knitting for charity and I got this Knit A Square website, where you can knit or crochet 8 x 8" squares in any colour or in any pattern...This is ideal for me to practice knitting while helping little babies keep warm at the same time!

Can't wait to get started!!

This is a little boy with a completed blanket using all the squares that people knit and send to them.
