crazy crafty

i'll be posting pictures in the next couple days of the crazy craftiness that went into the gtbg blogiversary goodies. for those receiving them, i just want to say that even though we are heading into summer, the pink snowman of my blog header made it's way into the theme of my goodies :) i think it has become my blog mascot!

tonight i was checking up on all my favorite blogs, when i ran across the link to knit the classics via stacey at sheep in the city. this couldn't be more perfect for me, although i think i am going to have a busy summer! i think i may be making variation on a frill from the spring knitty. megan over at pensive frog made it. i saw it in person and it is beautiful. i would never have thought to knit it until i saw it in person. but we will see, i have 5 gifts i need to knit in the next month and a half. however, the reading part will probably be easy to squeeze in, i like to read before bed to get all the crafty thoughts out of my head.

happy friday all, and happy long weekend. if you are feeling nostalgic you can read my first ever post here. and fyi, the birch never made it past the 2nd row :)

p.s. for those fans of alias out there, who is this man????? yikes!

Dearest Amy...that handsom hunk of a man is Michael Vartan (also seen in Never been kissed with Drew Barrymore, he was the hottie teacher). He's almost as lushious as Josh Lucas (Sweet Home Alabama, her "ex husband"). :) have a great day!

Oh yes, he is a hottie. Hard to resist a face like that huh? If I had less control over myself I might even be drooling over that picture right now!

he is a hottie... I have not watched Alias, but I did see him in that Drew Barrymore flick a few years ago. mmmm...

Love the snowman theme--I remember when you made the snowman last year! :)

Hope you have a LOVELY weekend, Amy girl!

Amy! Do you watch Alias?!?! I am freaking devastated! I litterally jumpped off my couch and almost (I said almost) peed my pants when they got hit! He's a bad guy??? No freaking way!!!!!!!!!!! (But I would still do him in a heartbeat!)

Oh my gawd! I almost had a heart attack at the end of the show! How can they do that to us? So, "my name is not Michael Vaughn....blamo!" That's the way that they leave us. That's either the best cliff hanger ever (since who shot JR?) or the worst one, because seriously I screamed! I've heard a vicious rumor that he might not be back for long next season, which would suck big time, but I'm hoping for the best. I love his character, and I can't imagine what the big secret is? Do you know?

Have a great weekend!!! Happy one year blogging anniversary!!! I'm glad to know you!!

Oh, and sad that there are people out there that don't watch Alias...but it was sweet for them to let you know that his name was Michael Vartan. :)

I'm so sorry I missed your blog-versary, especially the gifty part! I guess that's what I get for going on vacation. Congrats on your new job! You deserve it!

yes, yes, i freaked out too!! i was just thinking how boring it was for an alias finale when bam! i screamed. the way they filmed the crash was nutty and i mean him not being vaughn? what? huh? oh no!! i love me some vaughn. i have a great idea though, since jg is prego by the ben in bennifer, let vaughn take the lead for awhile. i certainly wouldn't mind. and jg isn't going to be able to do so much of the action.

now, i also am not sure that vaughn and the darkside wouldn't be a very hot combo :)

I'm with you on the hot baddie...ummm, I had a serious crush on Sark. Who am I kidding, I still do! There's just something about a good looking bad boy!

OK, I just got home and got your blogiversary gift...thank you!!!! Everything is adorable!! You're one crafty chica!

And to add more to the Alias drama...I heard that everyone is coming back next Fall even Syd. But if they need a Sydney stand-in, I will be willing to take her place kicking ass and becoming Mrs. "My name isn't Michael Vaughn" Mmmmmmm (OK, I'm done now)

I almost jumped out of my chair when he said that and they crashed! I'm glad I didn't try and knit while watching! Cannot wait to see what JJ has in store for next season.
