More fun than Homework

So I decided that I wanted to use the purse that I made during the UT v Wyoming game. All I had to do was make the lining in order for it to be finished so after finishing and submitting some homework I did just that. I forgot to sew on the pocket before sewing the lining together and into the purse, so I got to do it all by hand in the end...go me, but other than that no complications. Zipper went in find and works just right ^_^
So here are some pics.

outside, the middle is a shell pattern

And now for a dose of cuteness!
Harley loves helping mommy read-study-do homework, she's the best supervisor! ^_^

Party like it's 20-10

So I can officially post pics of my latest creation, didn't want to ruin the surprise for Heather =p
I made my first clutch complete with a zipper. So here are some pics of it:


Heather's Birthday Extravaganza was fun. We started the night off at Rounders Pizza on 6th. If you have been there you must go, awesome wait staff, awesome pizza and awesome garlic knots! Had the AMAZINGLY good French Toast cake from Sugar Mama's Bakery, complete with bacon garnish, oh yeah you read right, bacon garnish on a cake! Then we went to The Highball, a kind of Chucky-Cheese for grownups, and then hit up 6th for a couple drinks and some always fun dancing. Though there was a VERY awkward and strange guy that tried to pick me up, and not the good kind of picking up the literal - tried to I guess pick me up and throw me over his shoulder caveman style - kind of pick up, while Heather, Brittany and me were dancing. BTW thanks to Chris, Wayne, and Matt for saving me on that one, yall are swell guys, standing there laughing while the guy is going all caveman on me is a class act yo. So here are some pics to document this oh so fun occasion!

Oh sometimes.... .... ...

So I finally finished Katie's blanket and posted pics on facebook (here too, the post before this one =p) She thinks it's gorgeous and can't wait to get it next month, I can't wait to get it out of here and get my other $75 muaha ha ha.
But she was looking at the picture the other day, totally strange, but she messaged me and asked if it was hard to make the individual triangles. I'm completely confused by this question, it's made out of squares like I've told her over and over again. But she keeps asking about these triangles and if it's hard to do them individually and then did I sew them all together, I ask her where she see's triangles, it's squares, she goes 'there are holes in a cross pattern, was that hard to make?' So I go and look at the picture again and try and figure out where she's getting triangles from, and the holes she's seeing in the criss-cross pattern are the holes for the corners and the triangles are made from each corner....I tell her this and she still doesn't understand, but she will sit and argue herself to death trying to tell me I know nothing about crocheting and she knows everything there is to know about it, though she's never seen or done it herself. It does boost my ego a little that she does think that it is so complicated and I can do such an amazing job at something so difficult, but she still annoys me a little with her comments and stuff.

Other news, excited for this weekend. Heather is coming in to celebrate her birthday and we are going to party it up!!
I sewed my first zipper last night, so damn proud of myself for it too :p I now know I can do it for my own purse that I crocheted during the last UT game. I'll be sure to post pics of my latest creations as soon as I can!

IT'S DONE!!!

Finally finished Katie's blanket. It doesn't look too horrible, but I still don't really like it, it reminds me of a little girls blanket, but whatever the girls paying me for it. What are you're thoughts? (I think it would have looked better if I'd done one solid blanket with the rows of color, but hey she wouldn't listen to me, and for some strange ass reason she didn't think I could do something that way. Who knows...whatevs it's done and will be out of here next month! So here are some pics:
