Failed projects and Slippers

Saturday I had a brilliant idea:

I was going to make a skirt.
I had a whole outfit planned out,
but none of my current skirts fit the image I wanted.

I had not actually made a skirt in a very long time, and I had not made a skirt with any sort of design ever. But I had luck recently winging it when crafting, so I thought it would be a great idea to spend an hour or two of my Saturday cutting up perfectly good material for my soon to favorite skirt.

It was not my favorite skirt.
Not even close.
It sucked.
I wore jeans out instead.

So, Saturday's failure, combined with Sunday's failure (Super Bowl. Patriots lost. Don't want to talk about it.), I really needed to have something go well today. So I thought I would take up my crochet hook and just start making slippers. And what do you know? I made slippers! There are not perfect, not as warm as I had hoped, and not as cute as I had desired, but they do not suck completely and they are finished!! :)

I love this yarn. It's so soft and cozy.

Can you tell I just took my socks off? Not to self for future slipper crochet planning: when using your own foot as a measure, take your socks off first so that the slipper isn't super baggy on your bare feet. That's all. And patterns can be all that bad, right?

Side view. Yes, I am standing on my awesome finished tshirt shag rug. I love it.



I also made this amazing banana "ice cream" tonight.
I added cocoa powder and it tasted scrumptious.
New favorite use for my food processor.
