Nyan Cat, meow

So, I am officially starting Melissa's Nyan Cat blanket today. In case you aren't familiar with the Nyan, check it out here. Yeah, I don't get it either, but this is what she has requested of me. Gotta keep my woman happy.

I'm using this as a guide. Hopefully I'll have it finished by Christmas.

I think I'm going to need more yarn...

The Blanket

Well, I finally finished this monster project! It is now enjoying its new home: my bed.

Next up:

Nyan Cat blanket, for Melissa

An afghan

The best thing about making blankets of any kind - whether crochet, knit, quilting, whatever - is that you get to cover up and stay warm while you work! 

Fall and winter is my favorite time to work on beautiful pieces like this. 

This summer:

I know it has been a while *coughcough3monthscough* since I posted anything crochet related or otherwise, but trust me, I have not been completely unproductive! Since finishing baby Maier's blanket:

Made more coasters...A LOT more coasters. I mean, I went coaster CRAZY! 

They are all for sale in my Etsy shop

Christian and I went to Electric Forest in Rothbury, MI. Day 1:

Classes started back up about 5 weeks ago:

We ran the Warrior Dash in Mt. Morris, MI. I sprained my ankle :(

Christian and I went to Mackinaw City, MI, and visited the UP for my birthday!

I made this afghan. Thanks to ladysprite for the color idea!

And Christian got me the best t-shirt in the world from this (PG13) Epic Meal Time video!

Projects old and new!

Will gang, it's been a month since my last post, and this is what I've been up to:

Finally finished baby Emmet's blanket!

 

Started working on these little guys for a friend,

 

Penguin helped.

  

Made a few summer coasters for myself and Etsy

 

 

And discovered my new favorite dessert in the world. 

Chocolate Shakeology banana ice cream. (Recipe below)

 

4 small bananas (sliced and frozen)

about 1/2 cup almond milk

1 scoop/packet chocolate Shakeology

Mix frozen bananas in food processor until finely chopped, then slowly add in milk until creamy. Just the bananas is delicious, but I then added a packet of my chocolate Shakeology, and it turned magical!
