Back from Louisiana

Hey Everyone!

I got back from Louisiana yesterday. It was a good trip, and now I can say I've been there. To bad I wasn't near New Orleans. I really want to go there! My boss and I went to Blue Dog Cafe...they had an amazing cajun crawfish alfredo pasta. It was sooooo good. I would love to go back to Louisiana for that!

Onto other stuff. I'm starting another corner to corner blanket. It's going to be a baby blanket. The colors are going to be purple with white stripes. I'm planning on selling it when it's done. My goal is get my etsy store back up and running again. Hopefully I'll be able to sell some stuff to make some extra money. All the money is going to be going to my macbook pro that I am saving up for. I can't wait to get a new laptop. At least this laptop is still doing pretty good, so I have time to save up :-).

Well gonna go and start the blanket. Maybe I'll take a few pictures of it tonight and see how far I get tonight!

Bye everyone!

I FINISHED!

Well, I finished my sister's blanket finally yesterday. It looks really good. I am hoping to weave in the ends tomorrow and then it will be ready to ship to her!

In the pictures you can kinda see my new comforter set. I will be taking better pictures of my apartment when I get back from Louisiana. I've actually been unpacking the rest of my stuff that was in my walk in closet...FINALLY. Now my walk in closet will actually be functional.

Onto other random things, my sister is adopting Jenn's dog Shadow. I will be driving Shadow down to Atlanta next Thursday. She is being flown through Pet Airways. The planes are for dogs/cats only. It's really cool. I just wish they had more flights than just the one on Thursday. But at least Danielle will be getting her dog.

I'm gonna end this post for now. I'm currently working on a market/beach bag. I'm planning on selling it on my etsy store. I've really let my etsy store go, but I am working on putting some new stuff on there and hopefully some things will sell. I'll post some pictures of bags as I finish them. They take roughly 3 hours to make, so they are quick and easy projects. I might take a couple skeins of yarn with me to Louisiana to pass the time during my layover and at night when I'm bored in the hotel.

I guess that's all for now!

I need to stop shopping!

Well this weekend I went up to see my best friend Milan! Oh how I love it when I see her. Last night Milan, Ashley and I went to SilverSpoon Cafe. I love that place, but of course I forgot my leftovers on the table! Go figure.

So today, Milan and I had a girls day out and went shopping. I spent way too much money! I originally was going to buy a dresser, but of course it's too heavy for me to even think about putting it in my car. I bought a comforter set, 2nd nightstand and bookcase for the bedroom. It's gonna look awesome once it's all put together.

I'm planning on cleaning my apartment and cleaning my walk in closet to make it more functional than it is right now. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to take some pictures of my apartment with it looking really good :-)

Well that's all for now, let's just hope I don't have too much trouble putting together the nightstand and the bookcase!

Bye everyone!

Crazy 2 Days

Hey everyone...so yeah I've had a crazy two days...so insane I've barely been able to work on my sister's blanket. I woke up yesterday to check my bank account only to find out that they had locked it because someone else was trying to use my information...All I can say is that I love Wachovia caught it...but I really didn't need the hassle plus I don't know when my paycheck will show up in the new account! Oh the fun! I'm suppose to go up to Knoxville to visit Milan and to finally see Eclipse. I'm so excited for that, so my check better be in my account!

About 2 hours ago, I finally sat down to work on my sister's blanket, it's getting there. I have about 40 rows left. To put it into perspective for people, the blanket is going to be roughly 160 rows once it's complete...it's HUGE! Once I get to under 20 rows, each row will go by super fast. But anyways, I wanted to take a little break. Now back to watching Holmes on Homes and crocheting!

Have a good night everyone!

I'm not done yet :-(

Well I definitely misjudged how long it would take me to finish the blanket :-p. But that's ok. Now I'm on the easy part. Every row will be getting smaller so it will get faster as I go along.

This is an updated picture

As you can see it's definitely almost as big as my queen bed. I can't wait for my sister to get it. :-)

Onto other stuff that is going on. Next week I get to go to Louisiana with work. Granted I will be there for only 1 full day, but it should be fun. I've never been to Louisiana before. I wish I was going to New Orleans, but the company is based out of Lafayette. Well that's all for now, I will update again soon :-) Hopefully i'll have my blanket completely done!

Sister's Welcome Home Gift

Well my little sister just got her first apartment. I wanted to do something nice for her and make her a blanket for her couch or bed. I decided to do a new pattern that I found through Ashley. It starts in one corner, gets bigger then smaller. It's an easy and fun pattern and it might be my favorite one that I've done in a LONG time.

She got most of her decorations from our Auntie Pam, so her colors are going to be mainly black, white and teal. I figured I would make the blanket mainly black with stripes of teal running through it. It's simple and not overdone. I hope she likes it. It's almost halfway done. Might even be able to finish it this weekend! *crosses fingers*
