Wow...hi. It's been over one whole year since I posted! I have definitely done some crafty things since two Novembers ago, but I guess no crochet?
Quick catch up: last March my husband moved to Portland, Oregon, and I came a month later. It has not been the easiest transition for me so I put blogging on the back-burner to prioritize figuring out my new city.&Katiebeanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07838680460438180840noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428754473997009509.post-7056086937557868242012-11-25T18:00:00.003-08:002012-11-26T05:48:43.005-08:00Speech Bubbles and the Last 2 WeeksHi!

Hello! Sorry I have been away. I have been hanging out a lot with my sister while she is working here for the fall! Plus, in case you didn't catch that dangling crane on the news, a hurricane hit the NYC recently. So things have been a little crazy, but I did manage to do some crocheting.
You may remember I was on a quest to make a cute Santa hat for our Katiebeanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07838680460438180840noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428754473997009509.post-64749712848762838112012-10-19T07:41:00.001-07:002012-10-19T10:04:42.209-07:00WIP FridaySo I downloaded the Blogger app to try to get some more posts going, but I am not really satisfied with it so far. Still, here are some quick snaps of the Santa hat project I am working on! OMG I cannot even handle how sexy I am in that picture.

I haven't been back to the blog as soon as I thought I would be, which means that unfortunately I have not made any of the crochet ideas in a recent post. I am a married chick now, though! Sweet! And six years ago today is the day I met my hubso! High five!
Anyways, a few crochet things.
First, I want to make at least two cute Santa hats for me and my sis to wear in the Katiebeanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07838680460438180840noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428754473997009509.post-85551345500415375872012-08-27T19:56:00.004-07:002012-08-30T07:58:58.114-07:00Womb Mates

Just nod if you can hear me. Is there anyone home?
The weather has been comfortably numb comfortable and cooler lately, which always makes me feel the impending cozy crochet time of year: Fall! Project Runway, beers, piles of yarn, shooing cats away. And the best part is that I will officially be Mrs. Iron Martin this time around!

Ever since CrochetPatternCentral.com posted some of my patterns, traffic to TeaBeans has skyrocketed (by TeaBeans-standards haha!). So, for all the newbie visitors from around the country, here is a snapshot of what you missed the last six years! It was hard to choose, but these are my favs from each year (my options for 2012 were kind of limited...).

Hopefully she wasn't lying because I decided to make her one for Christmas to go with the floves she asked for. Welllllllll.... this scarf takes forever to make. I thought maybe the first time it was just because of the yarn I was using, but nope.

I hurt my knee pretty bad a few weeks ago so I haven't been able to train for my upcoming race. I have a few pics and projects to post tomorrow; but since I won't be working out tonight, this is what I will be doing.

I have been a little blog MIA due to a horrid stomach virus I got over Thanksgiving. I was out for 2 weeks cold, so it's been tough catching up. This is the busiest time of year for me at work, I am wedding planning, I am dealing with adopting a new cat, plus I haven't done any holiday shopping! Anyways, here are some crafty scenes while I work on new projects.
