Hell Week!

Wow one week to my Junior recital... and a little more than a week to L'Enfant, then a week later and it's finals. So I'm taking a break from my projects until after the opera. I'm excited for it all but at the same time I can't wait for it to be over.

New look!

Wow thanks to Blogger's new set up with the templates I've managed to make this thing look pretty sweet! I like the color combination a lot.
Today is the last day of Spring Break, and I'm sitting here at the desk, kind of sad that I did not get into any shenanigans over the break... That aside, I slept so much I think I made up for all the sleep I didn't get during the semester. I'm so sad to go back to school though! That week of glorious freedom from responsibility is over. Now to get ready for my junior recital and finals. I wish I could just skip all this and have summer break already!
I've found an apartment that I think will be perfect as long as I can get a washer dryer in there. I'm just waiting to talk to my other roommates, I want to sign the lease and get this place!

Here's my latest creation, I think it'll be the first thing I put in my Etsy shop once I get some better pictures of it. Mostly not a picture of my guy friends b.s.-ing around, flippin' the bird. It's a heart barrette! yay!

A mountain of projects!

Here's my latest project! A baby hat! My very first baby item, and I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out. This is for my friend Mo's cousin who is going to have a baby boy soon. We are hoping that it will have red hair! Wouldn't that be great with the blue?
I've got a few other projects going on now, the legwarmers which I feel like I've been dragging around forever and Meatwad from Aqua Teen Hungerforce. I have to figure out how I'm going to do the face.
The Big Daddy from Bioshock still has yet to happen, I've been trying to figure out exactly how I'm going to do it. I'm determined for it to be cool. Also on my queue are Kitten Mittons.



As you can see there would be a HUGE market for these as Charlie is the most savvy entrepreneur IN THE WORLD. So yeah, I'm gonna make them and test them out on my friend's cat. We'll see how it goes.

Goodness me!

This week has been particularly stressful! I have had to reschedule my Junior recital about 5 times and move it to a new venue. Trying to pick one date that works for me, the venue, my voice teacher, and my family has been a nightmare. I think it is finally over though... I hope. Now I have a full month more to prepare and get everything together for this recital. Honestly I thought it was going to be pretty horrible if I kept the original date, March 21, but almost luckily my parents had not even bought plane tickets yet so I was able to move the date without complicating any travel plans that they had.

On the crochet front I have been particularly busy! My mother also sent me a bunch of knitting needles and my Stitch n Bitch books. I haven't decided to tackle it yet but I've got a bunch of knitted stuff on my queue on Ravelry!

For now I'm crocheting some legwarmers! Which would have been great if I had started them a few weeks ago... It's starting to get kinda warm here in New Orleans.

Time to write more music history papers... T_T

Where did February go?

I was on duty in Biever tonight, it's odd to work somewhere other than Buddig. I don't know where anything is and the residents don't show their IDs. I got quite a bit done though, I have a big music history midterm on Monday as well as my German diction midterm. I'm pretty nervous about both. Tomorrow I have to really sit down and cram.
I made a flower and a clover tonight, I'm planning on making some more clovers for St. Patricks day. I can't believe it's March so soon. My recital is fast approaching, which is really stressing me out.
I am starting a new main project, A Big Daddy from Bioshock, my boyfriend though it would be a cool thing to make. I'm pretty excited about making an amigurumi Big Daddy. I'm going off the design from the first game, I thought it was cooler looking.

Sorry, I have two left hands!

Wow! I never thought it would happen to me, but in my latest endeavor I made two left oven mitts... Not that it's really horrible to have two left mitts, but it gave me a good laugh... I'm pretty pleased with the way they came out!



The stars came out more like flowers which I love! I got the pattern from the Lily Sugar n Cream website.

I'm starting pilates today! I'm super excited, one of my friends is an instructor and she's teaching classes on campus! I'm planning on crocheting a bag for my yoga mat! I found a neat pattern so I'm gonna start on it as soon as I can. Now I've got to get ready for my first class!

Another weekend rolled past me

There's my panda! I put some rice in the feet since it was oddly balanced... he looks so sweet sitting on top of the tv! My dishcloth of doom is almost done, can't wait for that! I need to stop procrastinating... I have an essay due in my 8:30am class tomorrow and I haven't started at all. I just don't feel like doing work! I want to crochet and go to bed! School is lame! I also think I'm getting a cold. Boo. Brian took me to P.F. Changs for dinner tonight. It was delicious! I was so full! Their hot and sour soup is awesome. Well, I'm off to doing homework and tomorrow I'm going to start on my oven mitts!
