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!
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!
So Karen absolutely LOVED her purse, which makes me super happy. Marcy seemed to like it but she was more excited about the Winnie the Pooh in the cap and gown I got her because well, she loves Winnie the Pooh. I would have put a Winnie the Pooh lining in, but all the Winnie the Pooh fabrics look so baby-ish, which I guess would be normal, but still! The party was fun too, we played Scene It 2nd Edition, I got it at Ross for like $5 LOVE that store!! Then we tried to play Dirty Minds, but it was too complicated for our inebriated minds, then as the grad finally we played taboo, which is always fun to play when your sober or drunk, most of us were sober by the end of the game so we could drive home.
Last night went over to Chris's apartment to play video games, we played the new FIFA World Cup game for Xbox 360, that game is so fun! Makes me even more excited for the World Cup next month!
Just in case YOU aren't ready and excited for the World Cup next month, watch this commercial that Nike made and you should be ready, it's so amazingly awesome!!
Other news? My job interview on Friday went well, I think. I will know by Monday evening if I made it to the second round of interviews or if I'm still jobless, if anything I hope that JC Penny calls me and I can work there again this summer, it's not an ideal job with ideal pay, but it's a job that comes with a steady paycheck and I know what I'm doing already and I know most of the people there already. After my interview I went and checked on the status of my maintenance request that I put in on Tuesday. It won't be happening anytime soon I guess. The overhead light in my kitchen has gone out, well it's kicking the bucket, but it still makes me have to cook by the stove light...which isn't very bright and it makes washing dishes fairly difficult, but apparently a lot of people in the complex are having problems with their AC's, and here in Texas AC trumps lights. Though I don't know how long it would take them to just come in and unscrew the evil light and put in a new one? 5 mins maybe? I would do it but I'm short, I can move the plastic cover to the light, but actually reaching the light just isn't possible without me standing on something, which doesn't super appeal to me because all I have is my office chair, with wheels, or barstools that aren't super easy to stand on. So I guess I'll choose to cook by stove light than kill myself changing a light =p
Well amigos and amigas!
XOXO

PS Mrs Dana, I fb messaged you about the purse ^_^
