Plans, Projects, and Pretending Pregnancy
Oh my goodness, I am absolutely horrendous at keeping this blog up to date. This is me apologizing.
Well, last weekend I went to visit my sister and brother and it was absolutely amazing. It is so nice to get out of the city (even though we went right into a bigger one) and visit family. It gives you a brighter outlook on life, it really does. I gave my sister her afghan and the toque I made with the extra skein. I will post a picture this weekend. I also gave my sister-in-law the bag I made during the make-a-long. Also, I gave my brother the piranha plant scarf, as well as a baby piranha plant scarf! The baby scarf is actually for a 10 month old and is absolutely adorable! Again, photos will eventually be posted.
Right now, I am finishing up some dishcloths for my Mom. Then, the ONLY crochetting project that I will let my self start is purplej3nn’s scarf. Holy crap, it is taking me too long to get to it! This weekend, I need to finish some partially started projects. I made my first fabric art this weekend, and I need to make a couple more to finish off the wall. Then, I need to sew my new curtains with the fabric I got from Ikea. If I have time, I will hem up the old curtains and move them to the bedroom. I also have a bunch of dishclothes and a scarf that I need to weave the ends in (I HATE WEAVING IN ENDS!!) and then put them away. I also need to put together and hang my new mirror and make little paper birds and leaves for the horrendous speaker wires going down our walls. Then, to Michaels to get some fake grass (cross fingers that there will actually be some in) to line the bottom of the mirror. I also hope to find some really old, beat up, small hardcover books to add to it as well.
And then on top of all that, I have plans to go out for drinks with old friends that I haven’t seen in a few months to a few years! Also, every year, a section of the city has a community garage sale. Barbeques and pancake breakfasts included! I have also made plans to hit that up. Duh, because how COULDN’T I?! I will have to keep my spending to a minimum. Only a set amount of cash and then THAT IS IT! I see myself failing at this already.
Oh, and I need to start making up official tags for my handmade goods. I figured I should do that now so that I will always have some on hand. That means I need to find some good templates online and see what I can do with them. Which isn’t much, because, well, we all know how techno-skilled I am. Super skilled. Lots. *cough*
Wow, I have alot to do this weekend. Oh and did I mention that damned wedding cross stitch?! Can you tell I am putting it off? You know I am procrastinating when I start planning to weave in ends on dishcloths and the most irritating scarf I have ever made. Ugh.
Also, I feel the need to tell the world this. I have recently bought clothes from a maternity store. Lots of them. Now, before you get your “oooo” and your “eeee”s going, I am most certainly not pregnant. I just love their tops. They fit so damn well!! So much room for my hips, it is absolutely amazing. YOu have no idea how hard of a time I have finding a shirt that fits across my small-medium sized shoulders and chest and waist and then flares out enough to fit my damned large hips. Well, I found the secret. And if faking interest in nursing and baby strollers it what it takes, well then ladies, these hips DO lie.
