The Untimely Snatch

LoL.. I sewed up these shorts for my son cause he wanted something to sleep in. Apparently he didn't mind the color of which was the lining to my halter I just made. The fact that it was super soft and felt like "nothing" was the important part. I had him try them on real quick for size. He wouldn't take them off! When i said I need to put another line of stitching on the elastic he snatched them up told me he wasn't giving them back and wore them for like what seemed like two days. lol.. Maybe not I do recall him taking a shower. But now that they're dirty I might get a chance to finish them up. hehe :) At least I know he think's their comfortable despite the hidiocity. lol :) They're just pajamas.. they can be hidious. hehe Believe it or not.. which I'm pretty sure it's easy to believe considering the construction.. LOL... this was my first clothing article that I sewed together. Dang.. I'm on a roll!

Project Flowerbed

Ok so I didn't write in here for a few days. I did go to the store and buy some lining for my halter. And pretty much spent all day yesterday and today sewing by hand. And also making tassels. The tassels were actually fairly easy to make. Today ventured to the dollar store to buy some beads for the finnishing touch to the halter. Yay my halter is finally done! :) I lined the inside and everything. Looks fantastic. Also makes my chest look gianormous!! Whoa! Haha Anyway I'm excited and can't wait to wear it to belly dance class on monday. :D Now I need to make the matching hip scarf.

For my next projects I think I'll start with a simple sock ... and possibly make some shorts out of the matterial I got for the lining. Maybe a skirt lining for my see through black skirt. All these plus of course starting on the hip scarf. :) I'm happy with the results of my very first clothing project in crochet or any needle weilding thing!

Hah Craft that!

So finally I finished the both the ties of the halter part this morning. I tried it on and it looks fairly good. So now I will sew in the lining and make the tassels. I think I'll go to the store and buy those inserts just to try out. I think it might help cause the halter seems a bit too open in the front for me to wear just by it's self. I will experiment. And since my kid is asleep and my boyfriend is playing Tony Hawk on the xbox, I'll steal away to do a little shopping at the craft store. :)

So Cool!

Wow talk about fast action... I complained that the dishes weren't being washed cause it was too hot to do anything... and guess what I got not two hours later.. hehe

Voila Ambrosia Salad!!

Well almost anyway, still isn't that cold in here but 79 is better than 89 degrees.

Ah... well decided to take a small break from knitting... as well I had an interesting week so far.

So hot!

OK.. this is getting ridiculous. We have no air conditioner and it's 97 degrees out ... I'm cooking! And nothing good to eat either. I'm hoping to find someone giving away an old air conditioner that they aren't using only requirement is that it works!

*sigh*

I did a little crocheting today with the Josephine Halter. And when I say little well ... that's what I mean. My day at work was quite busy and lots of patients shoved into one day so I was pretty tired when I got home also coupled with the extreme heat.... I sat down and did 16 stitches to start the straps part and I was out like a light. I think I'll do more on it tonight. I need to get the inside lined still but I was thinking about getting those padded cups from the craft store Micheal's to fill the inside and cover them with the lining material. I don't know I think it will give it more lift. I'll try it out anyway. If not then I'll just make it with t-shirt lining like it suggests. :D

Dark night

Went to see the Dark Knight. I thought it was really good. I couldn't help to cry afterwards... because Heath Ledger will never be able to play that character again. I was of course saddened for his family as well. He was by far a very intense and dedicated actor. He was so good I feel he stole the show away from Christian Bale who played Batman. But the story and content of the movie was very well done. All the actors were excellent. One of the best movies I have seen in a long time. Anyway just wanted to say I feel that much more sad knowing that such a great actor is no longer with us. ~ RIP Heath ~

I can relax now :)

Aaahhhh! Relaxation!

I have the best friend ever!

She gave me some pointers on how to get past my halt. I want to get back to it quick.
I'm not feeling good today and have been sneezing the last few days. Possible cold or sinus thing.

Voted most likely to be Halted lol... because I get so confused. Well besides the fact that the cup sizes aren't the same ... uh it looks ok I guess. I have confusion with the bottom part of this pattern cause I'm not sure what it's talking about. Should have stuck with squares n scarfs!!! arrrgh!

Ok this one I also finished last year using simple purl with size 9 needles. Used Lion's Brand Fancy Fur in color Purple Passion. I'm such a beginner at this it's really not even funny but.. lol you have to laugh anyway. Here's a picture of the yarn and finished product! Wow huh hehe.

My first project - Small Dish Towel Square

Small Dish Towel Square
(yes it's just yarn for now until
I can find the darn thing but
this was the yarn I used for it)

This project was created in my best friend's living room while watching episodes of the L word. LOL hmm Anyway it was quite fun to make and very simple. One of the only things probably I made with little or no fuss. So for a first project I think "hell yeah" I did it! I shall of course post some nice photos when I find my project. But don't be too surprised to see the ends curling up. After all it was my first project. lol Okay! I was recently told by my best friend and about this subject I shouldn't be so negative!! In time hopefully I'll even out my stitches and get some real momentum going. (that's better I hope!) This blog is to help me keep track and encourage myself. :)
