weird

This is freaky and cool. I kind of want to have some of this artwork, but where would you put it?

Meredith is awesome

So I was looking at my Mer Bear's blog and found this awesome site! It builds your vocabulary and feeds people! How cool!!!!!!

So I have no idea how this got to be sideways, and I don't know how to fix it...it just won't work.
But anyway, I made a cute wall decoration for my friend who is preggers. She doesn't know the gender of the baby so I thought this project would be cute and gender neutral.
I did do it a little differently. Instead of painting on the animals, I cut them out of scrap book paper, and I put them in crappy frames because I'm cheap. But I think they will look nice on the wall, though I found out she wants to decorate in bright colors :( Maybe if I make her a quilt I will do it in bright colors, though I may have just lost her in my roommate divorce(she is better friends with my roommate and I don't know if sides are going to be drawn, we will see soon).

It was fun to make and relatively easy, though only one of them I fit the entire writing section on there, the other two i just kind of trailed off...whoops!

quilting future

So in my obsession to begin the new hobby of quilting, I've been thinking about making a quilt for Alexis's baby. Maybe this one would be good. And it would be super easy. She mentioned the colors of the caterpillar book for the nursery. I can totally do blue, red and green(and yellow? I can't remember)

I totally want to make coasters!!! I don't know what colors I would do, but I do always love pink, orange and green together.....


If only I had brought some ribbon to class, I might be able to pay attention to my astronomy professor and make ribbon coasters at the same time.

My new life goal

So I've recently stumbled onto a couple of short stories involving babysitting. One from fiftytwostories.com and one by Raymond Carver in Cathedral. But the Raymond Carver one got me to thinking about how to seduce a single father...which might be fun, as long as the kids behave well.
Just a thought for my future. I need to start babysitting more.

Potential quilt

So I really want to make a quilt! I think I will have time as soon as classes are over, and then I can bring it with me to Chicago!
Amy Butler has some ridiculously cute quilt patterns. I especially like this one.
With some cute Jessica Jones fabric, it could be super cute! Also, Amy Butler makes some cute fabric too. However, I have no money to purchase fabric with :( especially since I won't be making it for a while.
I also need quilting tools...or at least some of them.
Then I will be ready to go!
