Only 3 More Days!!

Somehow, I found about three hours to put together this headband that I LOVE. In fact, i'm wearing it to class in about 5 minutes :-). Thought I would share...hopefully I can make a few more to sell at Saline-O-Ween! It's only 3 days away you should come visit us!!

I Live For Weekends!

Three fabulous things happened this weekend:

First, I got to use my vintage 1965 KitchenAid mixer that my wonderful boyfriend gave me! I made some home made buttercream icing for a cake I was making.

Thanks Joshie!!

My best friend in the whole wide world since Kindergarten, turned 20 last tuesday. SO, I made her a cake. It's a smiley face cake because she loves smiley faces :-) and I love her!!

Happy Birthday Lauren!!

ALSO, my awesome family and I spent yesterday at my new house putting down new flooring. It looks like a different house, I'm not kidding. Here are some before and after pics.

So, now I have to say goodbye to the weekend and fun and freedom...because I have three big tests this week, which is why I can't even go to craft night at church. BOO for church activities on Monday nights. Perhaps I'll find a second to be creative this week, we'll see.

OH MY...

I decided to put my headband and flower together to make a sweet flower headband :-). I can't wait to make it in some more tame colors!

I leave you now to resume The Coffee Table Project. :-)

P.S. We are putting floors down in the house tomorrow!!!

Trying New Things.

So, I sat down today, my first day of this week without homework, and I decided to broaden my crochet horizons. :-) I made a headband, which is really easy because you just make a band and then sew the short ends together. BUT I also learned to make...wait for it...a FLOWER :-))) I am so excited about it. The first one I made was kind of huge. So I found a pattern for a smaller one. Then the pattern didn't work for me. Finally, I just made up my own flower pattern and it turned out really cute. Of course, I just used yarn that was available to me so it isn't all that fashionable BUT if I can do it with crazy yarn, then I can do it with any yarn.

The first flower (like I said kind of huge).

My made up flower :-).

Be crafty and broaden your horizons!

Not much happened today. I mostly did what a good college kid should do today...which was all homework. BUT I did finish my homework for the rest of the week so plenty of time to be crafty.
So, I have three exciting things for you.
1. I finished my history paper!
2. I'm getting flooring put down in my house this weekend!
3. I learned 2 new crochet stitches tonight! (double crochet stitch and treble stitch)

Bonus exciting thing:
10 days until Saline-O-Ween!! :-) it's going to be AWESOME!!

I'll be getting back to The Coffee Table Project this weekend...yay for productive weekends.

Magnificent!

I will post what few pics I took of the concert soon. Bottom line: it was the best concert ever. U2 has the most outrageous stage, it was crazy. I had so much fun. I bought a poster to hang in my house! :-) and my ticket is most definitely being added to the coffee table project.

I'm trying to learn some new crochet stitches this week, but I have some catching up to do since I neglected my schooling during Fall Break. So unfortunately, I'll mostly be doing homework this week...

but just for your own personal enjoyment:
