I made this (there's an in depth post over on the <a href="http://thehelloladies.blogspot.com/2012/03/project-baby-month-2.html">Hello Ladies blog</a>) for Project Baby! Working on an owl project inspired me....</div>

It's an iPhone/iPod cover :-). I made up the pattern on a whim and of course, I didn't write it down. I'm sure I can remember it though. I'm trying to compile all of the patterns that I have made up. My goal is to one day publish a fun pattern book! :-) With lots of pictures, original patterns, and fun stories and tips.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Similar to this book, which I love!!</div>

Perry the Platypus Project!!!Well, I've done another project! Which I am really excited about....So I'm going to get right down to it.<br />
<br />
First of all, I found <a href="http://www.crochetpatterncentral.com/directory/amigurumi.php">this awesome site</a> that has TONS of free patterns...and as I was perusing I found this Perry the Platypus pattern!!! Confession time: I love Phineas and Ferb. My roomie Mandy introduced me to it about 3 years ago when we first lived in a dorm room together, and I llllllove it so much.<br />
<br />
This was my first attempt at amigurumi, I'm practicing for another project for Hello Ladies that you will probably see soon on Project Baby! :-)<br />
<br />
Here's the <a href="http://my-crocheted-world.blogspot.com/2011/11/perry-platypus-free-crochet-pattern.html">link to the pattern I used for Perry</a>.<br />
<br />
It was very easy to follow, which I enjoyed because often times I can't follow patterns written by others.<br />
<br />
<br />

So this is basically all you need, other than your hook. OH! and you will definitely need something to help you keep up with what row you're on. I use a paper clip :-)<br />

Here he is! Perry the Platypus! :-)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Somehow, I didn't take any pics of his eyes before I attached them, but they are the easiest part.</div>
Also, I didn't add the feet because that was the only part of the pattern that I didn't understand. Honestly, if it hadn't been 1:00am and I wasn't feeling lazy, I could have figured it out. It definitely was operator error and not the pattern.<br />
<br />
The pattern also has instructions for his hat! I will be making that sometime soon. I really just wanted to get Perry done and have my first frankenstein amigurumi under my belt.<br />
<br />
Now that I made this for my roomie Mandy, I know I'll have to make one for sister Mandy haha because she also has a fierce love of Phineas and Ferb!<br />
<br />
yay! I made my first amigurumi and I love it! I'll be making lots more I think :-)<br />
<br />
Also, I finished another project, that I posted on the HL blog as a part of Project Baby! It's a cute baby beanie! Go check it out.<br />

I've been working on several cool projects at church and I was 1st A.D. on my friends film a couple of weekends ago. AND my birthday was in there somewhere hehe (on Valentine's Day). :-)<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So, I'm working on some projects and I have finished a couple that still have to be photographed. BUT FIRST congratulations are in order...</div>

because my future sis is PREGNANT! I'm so excited, they are going to be awesome parents and this child is going to be adorable. Needless to say, I am really loving the year 2012 I get to become a wifey and an auntie!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So...this brings us to my progress on my 100 projects in one year. I have finished a couple that have yet to be photographed. They're both hats! I'll post pictures of those by next week. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But in honor of this very exciting news, I'm going to show you a project that isn't quite finished yet! :-)</div>
<div>
Just one of many baby related projects I'll be posting, I'm sure.</div>

I've decided to challenge myself to do 100 crafty projects in a year. I've basically skipped the month of January...but I think I'll still be able to pull it off. Here goes Week 1.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Week 1: bleach pen shirt<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was SO EASY! Seriously, like children (very careful ones) could even do this. Here is what you need.</div>
<div>
1. a shirt that's not white (mine was $3.88 at target)</div>
<div>
2. a bleach pen for whites (pretty cheap only about 5 or 6 bucks)</div>
<div>
3. some plastic bags (or a piece of cardboard)</div>
<div>
4. an old wash rag that you don't mind getting bleach on</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I decided to cover my entire shirt with lyrics from Bullet Soul by Switchfoot. Some tutorials you read will tell you to draw the design in chalk first, I didn't do that. I was brave and went straight to work. The gel will bleed into the shirt a little bit so factor that into your design. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Okay, step one: Put something (I used plastic bags) between the front and back of the shirt so that the bleach doesn't bleed through. Card board, wax paper, or plastic bags will do the trick.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Step two: Draw or write whatever you want on your shirt. Let the bleach sit for a while. You can see the fabric changing colors, so whenever you like what you see it's time for step three</div>
<div>
.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mine looked like this after I finished writing the lyrics:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step three: Take the shirt to the sink or the bathtub and wash the gel off. I just put mine under the bathtub faucet and rubbed the gel off with my fingers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Step four: Then I threw it in the washer with a few towels and hung it up to dry. Putting it in the dryer won't hurt your bleach artwork at all... I just didn't want my shirt to shrink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily, it's really warm for January and I'm going to wear it tomorrow! YAY I love warm weather.</div>

Really, the possibilities are endless. I still have some bleach left in the pen so I'm going to be experimenting with it some more. If you try it, I'd love to see what you do! Link to it in the comments!</div>

Honestly, now that I am graduated and still job hunting I really should be better about blogging consistently. So I'm just going to jump back into it today!<br />
<br />
My aunt gave me a 1951 Singer Sewing Machine! It is beautiful. I'm really excited to make stuff with it. (Which is a big deal for me, because generally I steer clear of any kind of sew that involves a machine.)<br />

I started making a really simple and cute wallet...of course the bobbin got messed up and I am currently waiting on my mom to fix it because I tried everything I could think of.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I wasn't exactly feeling good. So I spent the day cutting up old tshirts and made this necklace that I kinda LOVE! It did take me all day, but I wasn't feeling good and I was just making it up as I went along. There are tons of tutorials for similar necklaces on Pinterest that wouldn't take very long at all. So if you have old tshirts laying around this would be a super cute way to recycle them!<br />

I really love it. I can't wait to go to my parents and find some more tshirts that I never wear :-).<br />
<br />
Other than that, I've been looking for work and planning my wedding. It's a crazy wonderful life.<br />

Instead of spilling all of my craftiness into one post I think I'll share one project at a time.<br />
<br />
We recently had a "Big Day" at my church here in Conway and Mandy and I worked really hard to get the Children's church area decorated with so much cuteness people would just fall in love with it. :-)<br />
<br />
We decided that in the crib area of the baby room we needed something on the wall...and since the whole room has a woodland theme, I painted some woodland animals. Now, I am no painter by any stretch of the imagination...but I dabble. And I think these little woodland creatures actually turned out kind of adorable.<br />

I started out with 4 canvases, but the orange turned out to be a little too orange...so I narrowed it down to the snail, owl, and bird<br />

I taped off the background with scotch tape and just painted over it and around my animals to create these patterns. The chevron isn't perfect because I didn't measure it off, but I wanted it to look just a bit hodge podge and homey so it worked perfectly.<br />

And there you have it, my attempt at cute woodland animal paintings. Not too shabby for an amateur and I doubt the babies sleeping in their crib will judge me too harshly hehe<br />

Let's see if I can just get back into the groove one post at a time. How about concerts?<br />
<br />
I blogged about being super excited to go to Keith Urban and Journey concerts in August and September...well they were AMAZING!<br />
<br />
Keith Urban came waaaay up into the cheap seats and was actually like 4 rows away from us when he gave away a guitar. (Josh was super jealous!)<br />

I didn't get to take that many pictures at this concert because my phone was almost dead. BUT it was one of the best concerts I've been to. It was so cool, the atmosphere was just completely different than any other concert I've been to. It felt like we were all just hanging out.<br />
<br />
Then we went to the Journey concert in Memphis. Can I just say that being a fan of Journey is like a life choice for me...it's not a casual thing, and this concert was incredible! Even though is wasn't Steve Perry it was still phenomenal. It was just icing on the cake that we got to see them in Memphis. We showed up early and had some BBQ on Beale Street before the show.<br />

Blues City Cafe is by far the best BBQ I have ever tasted. It's right across the street from B.B. King's place, which is also good...but not this good (in my humble opinion). If you ever visit Beale Street you MUST try it...you'll thank me later.<br />
<br />
The concert was a blast! They sang all of the classics and a few new songs. It was great. Josh had such a good time in awe of their guitarist...because he is so good. Josh recorded most of the leads on his phone...and we listen to them all the time haha.<br />

BIGBIGBIG thanks to my bubba who decided he would pay for all three of our tickets AND drive us there. We don't have any pictures with him...because he's elusive like that, but he is pretty much the best Big Bro on the planet.<br />

I'll be back soon with some crafty updates. You won't believe how productive I've been lately!<br />

Also, I make baby hats.My History/Film class is actually pretty fun! We have a blogging assignment and our professor just started what he calls the "postie awards" to the best posts of the week. I'm proud to say I got a Postie this week for my stellar analysis of 3D technology. haha<br />
<br />
I didn't finish all of my homework last night...so I'm still working on some tonight. UGH! I am ready for the next 3 months and 3 days to fly by...not that I'm counting down to graduation or anything. hehe I will hopefully get to turn in my graduation application on Thursday or Friday and everything will be official! Now, I just need to find a job.... If I can just be honest, I'm a little nervous. But still confident and optimistic.<br />
<br />
Also, while we're sort of on the subject of countdowns...<br />
I'm getting married in 297 days! Practically 296 at this point.<br />

<br />
hehe...I just thought I'd share one of the many reasons I love him...we have really weird, hilarious conversations. Just for the record, this conversation was inspired by a lady's sparkly fingernails; we don't actually talk about glitter all the time.<br />
<br />
Guess what...I'm going to see Journey in concert in two -- count em 1.....2.....days! We're leaving Wednesday afternoon, hopefully get there early enough to eat some BBQ, and then have our faces rocked off by Journey, Foreigner, and Night Ranger. WOW! Can't wait!!!<br />

<br />
Some people aren't that excited because it isn't Steve Perry - Journey. I affectionately call them Filipino Journey because the new guy is from the Philippines. And I don't think anyone can be as awesome as Steve Perry, however, I think this is as close as it gets! So I'm still really excited!<br />
<br />
Now, I have to go finish my homework for the week so I can enjoy this concert and not have school business bringing me down :-).<br />
<br />
Have any of you ever seen Journey live? Steve Perry or Arnel Pineda?<br />
<br />

Oh my!Well, I interviewed my Gram last weekend and we got a lot of good stuff. She was having trouble putting her thoughts in order, but that's perfectly understandable when trying to recall things that happened 75 years ago!<br />
<br />
I'm heading to Pine Bluff tomorrow to look for any records that would tell us anything about her family's past before she set out on her journey. I'm pretty excited to see what I can find. Dad's going to join me, he's a pro at this stuff...so we should have a lot of fun!<br />
<br />
If anyone is interested...I have also blogged on the wedding blog and my film/history blog...I rant about 3D - it's interesting.<br />
<br />
ALSO, I have made some cute baby beanies...unfortunately I'm having trouble getting the pictures up on the blog. I'll post them as soon as I work out the kinks! I'm getting super excited about the upcoming craft season!!! Lots of goodies to see and sell! :-)<br />
<br />
Ok, now I need to go eat something! I can't keep going all day without food haha<br />

<br />
Just in case your interested, my first post for this "blogging experiment" in my American History through Film class was posted today. The topic was "what is your favorite movie and why" ...and he gives us a word count - which was 500. <---wowza! I usually would never write that much for a blog but oh well.<br />
<br />
ALSO! Did I mention earlier that I'm doing an independent study about my grandmother and a tiny piece of her incredible life? I went to visit her today and set up a camera to capture her retelling the stories. She's an extremely mature lady (in her 90's) and she was getting a little frustrated today when she couldn't remember specifics. However, she told me a lot! Annnnnnnd I got to go through her pictures and I found several that were taken during their travels that I will be able to use in the documentary. :-) exciting!! I can't wait to meet with my professor again next week and go over the material. I'm also pretty excited because we discussed the idea of allowing me to write this in the form of a script, which I am waaaay more comfortable with than a historical research paper.<br />
<br />
Background info:<br />
In 1937, my gram - 18, her younger sister - 14, and her older brother - 21, left their family in Arkansas and travelled across the country (most of the way without a car) to California, Washington, and Oregon. They went until they ran out of money, then they would stop and find work until they had enough to keep traveling. Ultimately, my gram decided to come home and her brother and sister ended up staying in Oregon. How crazy is that? She is a seriously cool lady, and she has definitely lived her life.<br />
<br />
If I can take a moment and be completely honest about my dreams for this project...<br />
I would love to do all of this research and get lots of great footage of my gram right now through this independent study and then find some sort of sponsorship to actually go and retrace her steps. If I'm feeling extremely adventurous I might even try to do some of the things that she and her siblings did. Honest opinion, that would be cool right? I think it would be an intimate look into the depression era. Not just another, "hey everyone was poor, lots of people left home because they had nothing" story, but a personal story with characters. I'm excited about it even if no one else is :-)!<br />
<br />
I'm off to enjoy my 4 day weekend! Have a happy Labor Day!<br />

I have already finished an assignment like 3 days late. And my professor sent me two snarky emails, thanks but you don't scare me that much I practically live in the film department where everyone acts like that.<br />
The assignment actually has the potential to be really cool. We had to start a film blog for the class. I don't know how many free writing posts we'll have or how many he will tell us what we have to write about but it should be interesting! It took me a while because I temporarily misplaced the 14, yes you can count them 14 pages he passed out in class. AND my school email was reset and no longer forwarded to my actual email account so I wasn't even receiving his snarky emails. hehe...I have fixed the problem. here's the link to <a href="http://historythrufilm.wordpress.com/">my history through film blog</a>..in case you're interested :-)<br />
<br />
Also, my production management class is so intense! We have to shoot 10 weekends in a row. It's only 5 hours per weekend...and I'm hoping that we're all friends in the class and we work around everyone's schedule. Because I don't want to be missing important things. It's my last semester of college....I just want to get it over with. I just wanted it to be easy! Doesn't look like that wish is going to come true.<br />
<br />
Oh well. I'll survive.<br />
<br />
love,<br />

Wow...that is possibly a first. </div><div>This semester I'm taking Arkansas History, American History through film, an independent study history class, production management, and social problems. So it's lots of history...but I think I'll be ok.</div><div><br />
</div><div>My independent study is going to be really fun I hope. I'm researching a journey that my grandmother took during the great depression when she was 15-16. She travelled with her brother and younger sister from Arkansas all the way up to Oregon and then back to Arkansas. Her brother and sister ended up settling in Oregon and now we have a little pocket of family up there. How neat right?? I'm excited to research it out because I could possibly turn it into a documentary one day. And if I do, I'll already have a lot of research done! :-)</div><div><br />
</div><div>I'm also extremely excited about American History through Film! How awesome does that sound?? I think I'm going to love it because I'm totally in love with movies AND history and I usually find a way to relate them in almost every paper I have to write in either film classes or history classes. Last semester I did a film and literature class that was a lot of fun, so I'm hoping this is similar.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The rest of my classes I'm pretty much taking just to fulfill my degree requirements...Oh I can't wait to graduate. I am going to get started on my graduation application like RIGHT AWAY! The deadline to apply is September 23. So I need to get busy!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Tomorrow is my first last day of school. I'm super excited! ANNNND the fiancé and I are going to a Keith Urban concert! It's gonna be a good day!!! :-)</div><div><br />

It's a 4 strand braid! and the picture was a did bit hard for me to follow but eventually I figured out the pattern.<br />

</div>I think it will make super cute bracelets or necklaces. I'm also thinking of incorporating in into some shirts.<br />
<br />
Yay, I learned something new today! ANNNND if you'll notice the pictures...I am blogging from my new macbook pro!! YAY I am so excited. I love it. Also, I finished my summer class today double YAY! On the downside...my hot water heater is broken and I'm stuck taking cold showers until we replace it this weekend. I'm choosing to focus on the positives - classes done, new computer, 4 strand braid.<br />
<br />
smooches,<br />

I have lots of planning to do and I want to share it with everyone but I don't want to totally overload this blog with nothing but wedding wishes. :-). I want to keep this blog mostly devoted to my adventures in crafting and filmmaking. SO, if you want to keep up with my rollercoaster season of wedding planning <a href="http://kracklegettinhitched.blogspot.com/">check it out</a>!<br />
<br />
In other equally exciting news, I'm wrapping up my last week of Spanish...and my last semester of college is fast approaching! WOW...I'll graduate in December and start looking for a job. It seems a little crazy. And with all of these important dates swimming around my head all I can think of right now is the fact that the boy and I are about to have some pretty awesome concert adventures! First Keith Urban this month, then possibly Journey with Foreigner in September! It's going to be a talent overload. eeek! I'm pretty excited.<br />
<br />
And afghan update: I'm officially more than halfway through with all the squares! It's a long process but it doesn't seem quite as daunting anymore.<br />
<br />
Sorry this post is a little heavy on words and light on pretty pictures...eventually, I will have a camera again.<br />
<br />
xoxo,<br />

<br />
It was one of my favorite cakes to make because I had so much help. Josh was amazing and of course my roomie Mandy and my BFF (best filmmaker friend) Kyla were like the best help ever.<br />

I've just finished my internship...it was a whirlwind for sure. I had a lot of fun and learned so much. Next week I'm starting a summer class...and then in the fall I start my last semester of college. WHOA! Life is coming at me so fast. I'm pretty excited about it I think...:-)<br />
<br />
I have tried to keep my creative juices flowing even though it's been crazy busy in my life. So here's a list of a few projects I'm working on.<br />
<br />
1. crochet flower bouquet (yes...I'm still working on that. don't judge me.)<br />
<br />
2. baby afghan<br />
<br />
3. laptop sweater<br />
<br />
Tomorrow, Mandy and I are going to get together and find inspiration and do some serious crafting! I'm so excited :-)<br />
<br />
Pictures to come I promise!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />

Let me tell you this semester has been a roller coaster. So many fun awesome things happened and so much stress haha. I am so glad to have it done. My movie premeired last week and our lead actress won "Best Actress" and yours truly won an award for "Best Producing." I also made probably the best cake (other than Char's wedding cake) of my life for the Filmmakers' Ball. I'll show you pictures soon!<br />
My summer break only lasts a little while though because I am starting an Internship that I am super excited about on the 16th! I can't wait. All the people are really fun and laid back I think I'm going to have a good time and get some good experience out of it. I would love for them to hire me after I graduate but even if they don't just interning with them will look great on my resume. Life is so exciting right now because the future is unclear and undecided. I'm sure in 5 minutes I'll be thinking it's something less than exciting but for now it'll do.<br />
Can't wait to get in a regular blogging routine again. The end of the semester always feels like a weight has been lifted!<br />
<br />
xoxo<br />
happy end of finals week to everyone!<br />
