Knitting by Niki for Younger Cousins

I made some headbands for my little cousins ages four and three. Knitting flowers is really simple. Begin by casting on four or five stiches, depending on how big you want each petal. Knit a couple of rows and then cast off one. Knit one row and cast off one again. Repeat this step until you have completely cast off. Then start over until you have the number of petals you desire for your flower.

Knitting gifts does take time, but it is very inexpensive. You can make great presents for friends and family that are reflective of their personality. You can add knitted flowers or sew on buttons to accessorize the scarf or headband.

 

Inexpensive Christmas Gifts for Her

Western Ring- $3

Native American Inspired Necklace - $7

Night Out on the Beach Necklace - $7

I just went shopping at Fashion Fair looking for affordable gifts for my closest girlfriends. Sounds suicidal with it only two days until Christmas but it wasn't that busy. Each present was seven dollars or less and were all found at forever 21.

Small Town Life

Kingsburg, California. Population: 11,259.
One high school.
One newspaper.
Lots of churches.
One Kmart.
One Savemart.
Nothing to do.

Post grad life takes me back to the little swedish village only to be bored out of my mind once more.
Due to school loans and lack of opportunity for work else where I'm back into this bubble of boredom.

That's why I'm going to find ways for people to have fun in the Central Valley's "Pleasantville".

I'm going to explore what's available through entertainment. For example, find different crafts to do, hobbies, music, fashion, restaurants, exercises, events, and so on.

Keep tuned in with my "Breaking the Boredom Bubble Blog" to find out how to survive small town life.
