Beatles Fleece hat!

2011-12-06T15:34:00.001-06:00

I made Jude a hat with the left over fabric from the footie pjs. It took about 30 minutes, and would have taken less if I had put the ear flaps on right the first time. I love it! Too bad Jude hates hats.

Beatles Jammies!

2011-12-03T02:21:00.001-06:00

I just finished making something using my very first pattern!
I got some Beatles fleece from fabric.com. Sadly, even though according to the pattern these pjs should fit my baby bear, they're probably about 6 inches too long and basically swallow him alive. I guess we'll have to wait till next winter for him to be able to enjoy them! I put in my first zipper with this, and I must say, it was much easier than I was expecting, even without a zipper foot!
I also whipped up an iPad case, but Jude has already basically destroyed it, good thing I have more batting to make another!

Focus!

2011-11-13T03:57:00.001-06:00

I've been working on this hooded towel for Jude since I started knitting. Literally, this was the whole reason I learned to knit, and this is from my first cast on. So, months later, this is all I have, cause I get so bored with knitting cause it is so much slower than crochet. It just feels so much nicer!
I really need to focus and stop starting new things before I've finished the other things I started.
That yellow scarf? Still incomplete.
That baby blanket my aunt requested? Taking up room on my table.
The giant monkey afghan for my sister in law (which needs to be done by Christmas)? 10 rows in, 72 more to go, plus a giant border. I'm supposed to do two rows a day, but instead I ripped out 2 and put it away cause I was so upset.
I need to focus.

Self drafted sheet dress!

2011-11-07T03:39:00.001-06:00

I swear the bottom of the skirt isn't crooked! I made it from a vintage queen sheet, and I kind of just threw it together and crocheted the strap and belt. I still need to hem the skirt, cause I have trouble with bias tape. It's a full circle skirt, so that should be FUN! I love this dress, and it is definitely my favorite!

Yellow!

2011-10-30T01:52:00.001-05:00

I've been working on a scarf since its finally getting cold here. It's made out of Deborah Norville yarn. I started making some fingerless gloves, but since I'm so ADD I pulled it all out and decided on this instead.
The sheet under it is from a thrift store, and I'm totally going to make a skirt out of it. It's super soft.
I haven't made anything retro and I'm disappointed about that, but I'm trying to focus on Christmas presents and using up my giant yarn stash.
That's all! I'm excited to be blogging again!

Last post in 2008?! Oh yeahhhh!

2011-10-23T12:46:00.002-05:00

Apparently, I haven't posted in like 3 years. Which is a big woah.
Ok, so big changes:
I had a Jude bear. My whole world, and the reason I lose sleep at night. He's going to kill himself before he's two.
I started to crochet.
Then I started to knit.
Then I decided I would weave.
Never finished weaving the first thing.
Hate knitting, but will uuiik do it cause it's nicer than crochet.
THEN I started sewing, and I LOVE IT! I've never sewn from a pattern, it's too hard to find them in my ready to wear 28. (fatty mc fatfatfat) and in 50s style.
I LOVE 50s ish dresses. I've made two, one of which will not be worn. Ever. I rushed through it and turned it into a pile of shit made out of fabric. I'm not done with the second on since it's a circle skirt and I don't want to hem it, and I'm crocheting a halter strap.
I've mad some skirts and I made a top to a dress I'll be making soon.
Super easy way to make a simple shirt too! I think I'll post a tutorial or something one day!
Its my goal to make posts of what I make, so we'll see if it happens. =D that's it!

Pain. (Final post of the year...unless I get bored at home tomorrow)

I'm super frustrated!
Willet is asking me to set up mics on those sheet music stands...which is causing some really bad howl back...and i have to try to be quite, because the peeps are working on something for the fine arts thing...
People think they know so much about theatre, and how things work here...and, well they DON'T!
UGH!!!
They don't get anything...
"Hey let me be in charge of everything...even though I know nothing about anything...when in reality, I'm going to let you run everything and take credit for it..." UGHUGHUGH!
I really don't enjoy this school lately, and I can't wait to get out.
Also, another theatre rant...
VAN JAMES DOESNT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS THEATRE UNLESS ITS SOMETHING HE WANTS TO STEAL!!!
GRRRRRR!!!
But...today WILL be a good day!

Seriously?!

FISH IS BACK!!
YAY!
I'm so very happy!
...so...let me just say what JUST tripped me out!
The sub just came up behind me and touched my shoulder...thats strange. I don't know if I like having a sub touch me...

I've been having a pretty great day today.
I woke up on time...made it to 1st period on time. Then in second period, Evan got a chocolate covered strawberry from Ryen...and SO gave it to me, which makes me happy, since I LOVE those things! I've started writing down my cues for the One Act play, since I finished entering them yesterday, and I hopefully don't have to go to 6th period with coach Whats-her-face, because I'll be taking an English test. And I think I might have gotten the work done for today, although, I'm REALLY lazy, so its possible that I did them completely wrong.
I want to learn how to play an instrument...

Ok, I'm tired of writing about NOTHING relevant.
Peaz.

Lizzy is the Shizzy

so

2008-02-12T14:14:00.003-06:00

I took that whole career thing cuz I was lookin at other peoples blogs and it seemed interesting to me. Heres the results..

so heres the thing...

2008-02-12T13:38:00.000-06:00

So...
yesterday, right after this class...I went to PE (which by the way is a totally pointless class)
but the stupid coach...whats her face-Espinosa...
she threatened to give us all referrals if we kept not doing anything...so we're all up, playing basketball, soccer, tennis, and some people are just walking around.
Everything was going all sorts of great, I was playin basketball and having fun.
I'm minding my own business, dribblin my ball, not paying attention to the universe...
THEN! All of a sudden! I get blindsided by an effin soccerball. RIGHT IN THE FACE!
and that stupid whats-her-face coach didn't even notice.
So I black out...then come to...still standing there holding my basketball...and my face..
I open my mouth and...CRACK! I thought for about two seconds I broke my jaw and what-not...cuz I couldn't feel my face.
I walk out of the gym, still holding my face, right past coach whats-her-face...still she doesn't notice anything. I go to the trainer to get some ice...walk back into the gym (WITH ice on my face) and she still...says nothing...
I go to my next class (cuz the bell rang) Brianna brings up that I might have a concussion...
Well I go home, tell my Gma about what happened...she checked me out...
and the pupil on the side I got hit on, wasn't dialiating right.
So we've determined that I do have a concussion, especially since my eyes still aren't working right.
and my face is all swollen.
and my nose has this weird pressure in it right now...

I just thought I'd tell you what happened yesterday, since it seemed like an interesting story (thats true)

I'm not really going to do anything differently, because I know how to prevent getting Staf infection, and I already do things to prevent that. I had already heard about the breakout in schools. What do people expect? We use hand sanitizers so often that the bacteria living on our bodies build up a resistance, we all naturally carry staf on our bodies. I'm not really worried about it. We could prevent getting staf infection by maintaing good hygene, and keeping wounds clean.
