Fabulous Fo's

Well, I finished a couple Fo's since my last posting, so I thought I might share them with you!!   First off, I finished this crocheted clutch.  I saw the pattern somewhere on Ravelry.  Here's the link to my projects if you are interested in trying it out.  It was really fun, and a great way to use up some leftover yarn!

I crocheted this star dishcloth out of this yarn and it was a gift (Easter) for my sister who's in college! 
I knitted this Ribbed Laced Bolero for myself, and It actually turned out really well!!  The color goes with just about everything and it's fun to show off :D! (Like most things!) 

Finally, I made this dishcloth as a mothers day present while I was sick.  My mom loved it!! She said "It was too pretty to use." She agreed to use it as a hot pad :).  It's just some repeating little bears!!  
I also got a new camera for my birthday, finally!!!!  It has 12.1 mega pixels and is really good at focusing on detail.  It's this camera in the pretty blue color from Canon.

I am excited that school is almost over, I am soooo in the need for a break!! My teachers just pile on the homework and projects!!! My sister came home from college for the weekend, which was exciting, but she spent most of her time studying for finals.

ttfn,

Becky

I am still alive

Sorry about kinda falling off the face of the earth, Easter came around and then my birthday, and BIG projects in school, and then I was sick. I did get some crafting done, but I'll post that in a different post.
I am proud to say that I entered track and my mile was 6:43!! That's my personal best!
I am thinking about changing the colors a little bit, what do you think? I am tosing around the idea of like a bright summer, spring color combo.

Feeling a little Pessimistic

Well, today I am feeling a little pessimistic. So I decided to write some positive things that happened in my day today.

1. Spring Break is over, and school has started up again. That means I have something productive to do. (besides crafting in front of the computer)
2. I got to show off my new haircut to everyone (sorry, no pic, mom's rule)
3. I got to show off my new knitted shrug (that I made) and my new beret ( I also made, pics comming soon).
4. I finally had someone to talk to. (Everyone went away to mexico ect.)
5. Lastly, my friend got me a scarf from London when she went there last week (YAY!!)

I should be studying for my 56 WORD VOCAB TEST (WITH SPELLING) for Spanish. (I can't believe my teacher expects us to memorize 56 words and their spelling for tomarrow! I don't even know what's on the test. I know I have to memorize the 56 vocab words, but what about the 20 or so phrases? Screw that, I am just gonna study the vocab words, what can she expect from us anyways? On the bright side, I was able to get a lot crafting done over break, I probably knitted and crocheted like 3 miles of yarn over Spring break. (Pictures next time, I am too, lazy and tired to take any right now.). Of coarse, it has to snow like 10 inches this morning!!! For god's sake, it's April, the snowy weather is over!!! Please, at least grant us with a snow day, if it's gonna snow!!! I'll post some pictures of my FOs in the next couple of days.

ttly,

Guinea Pig Adventures!!

Did I ever tell you I have a guinea pig? Well I do and her name is Nutmeg. Yesturday Spring had finally arived and we had a little adventure outside. I took many pictures!!!

She's like "what ya lookin at?" :)

She's sniffing our magnolia tree. She really likes the shade, as you can tell be this next picture.




She was acting crazy when I took this picture!! She was trying to eat something..... I think.

Running around, enjoying the fresh air, eating the grass.

After I put her back in her cage I ate some lunch, and went back down to make sure she had enough to eat. When I looked in her little housey, she was fast asleep!! I mean ASLEEP! She didn't even wake up when I accidently bumped the cage! I guess this adventure was a lot of fun and energy-consuming!!! I got to go and start my homework!!!! Till next time...
