I Broked My Car

Given that my commute to work has lengthened considerably, I have become on very good terms with my car's cruise control. It's a marvelous thing, it really is, to just switch it on, set the speed and let the car take care of at least that small portion of driving. 

Imagine my surprise, however, when I pushed on the little lever to set the speed....and the entire thing just snapped!
(Please ignore the condition of the floor boards. Please.)
The wires were all still attached, so technically it would still work, only I wouldn't be able to control anything using the lever. Plus, it flopped around on the steering wheel anytime I had to turn, and was really annoying.

 

Yep. I broked my car. 

So I did what any normal (HA!) person would do. I busted out some Krazy Glue... 
 
Because I'm kraazy!
  And I glued my car back together.

Ta Da! (Also, holy dusty, Batman!)
 

I do plan on having it repaired properly as soon as possible, mind. I don't really intend to drive around with a glued together cruise control knob for an extended period of time. This is just a temporary fix to keep myself sane until I can get it fixed. Having it just dangling there just wasn't going to cut it.   

I was sorely tempted to use some ducktape to repair the damage, but I exercised some considerable restraint and did not.  I'm not really sure if Krazy Glue was any better of an option, but hey, it worked.

Also, I know I say this a lot, but I do have some new ideas for posts that I hope to have up fairly soon. I'm trying to work my way back into blogging regularly again. Until then! :)

Bofur Inspired Hat Pattern

 (Check out this handy dandy Pinterest ready graphic I made!) In The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, one of the dwarves (Bofur) wore this really, really awesome hat.  I fell in love with it, and decided to see if I could crochet my own version of it.  Well, first I scoured the internet, hoping for a pattern, and when I didn't find one THEN I decided to make my own.  And since I know there are others out there who would love to have this pattern, I'm posting it here! PLEASE NOTE: You may make items and sell them using this pattern, but PLEASE link back to the pattern and credit me as the source.

As Seen on Pinterest - The Retirement Survival Kit

One of my co-workers recently retired. I'm happy for her, because she really deserves it and everything...but I hate that she's leaving me!  I tried to bribe her into staying. I even threatened to lock her in the office and refuse to let her go.  Oddly, she didn't like that suggestion.  Since she was set on this notion of retirement, I immediately began scouring Pinterest for some sort of cute retirement gift for her. I knew I'd find something there, and I was not disappointed! Fairly soon after beginning my search, I came across the 'Retirement Survival Kit'.  (Photo from Pinterest - original pin link ) The pin was a link to an eBay auction, but of course my first thought on seeing it was "I can do that!". So I did.   I really should have taken a better photo of it. But this is all I managed to get. So, uh, ta da! I changed a few of the items around (the original link was from the UK, so some of the items weren't available)...

Spidey Warmers

At long last, here is the pattern for the Spidey Warmers! I ended up not being able to get them to the boys til last week-ish, and I had to get their sister to take photos for me to post here. So thanks Jaimie!! Aren't they adorable? As you can see, I made two sets in different colors for them, but the pattern is for the red with blue trim. To make the others, just swap out the colors. Easy as pie! First off: much thanks and credit to the creativeyarn blog, as I used her free pattern as a basis for mine. Thank you!!!!!
