Just wanted to pop in for a lil bit. Right now the camera’s being fixed, so I can’t upload the small things I finished.
But today the sewing machine is supposed to be coming, and there are two crochet projects that need lining. 😉 Can’t wait to experiment with it.
For those of you who have played.. April 15, 2007

Just submitted my final portfolio and did my presentation! Now just gotta pray everything’s okay grade-wise and then impatiently wait for graduation in 2 weeks. 🙂 Btw, I finally got an e-mail from the school district saying that I would be getting an invite to the job fair!
To celebrate, I rushed over to Joanns (like a 5min drive from the campus) after the presentations were over, and bought a couple of goodies. Namely, enough yarn to finish the pink afghan, TLC Essentials in Sandstone (like a butterscotch color) to try another FBB, and a skein of Fisherman’s wool yarn. I picked up some kool-aid in cherry and orange (:D!) and headed home.
So…either tonight or tomorrow I’ll try dying my own wool.. 😀 Can’t wait.
Heart Shaped Pillow April 12, 2007
Posted by hesper in Crochet.1 comment so far
Yay, done! This has been a WIP for a couple weeks, doing one semicircle here, 1 square there.. And finally everything’s sewn together, stuffed, and done. I added in the flower after seeing a wonderfully done pillow on the ville with a flower in the center.. Was a nice lil touch.
Yarns used were Simply Soft in cream (It’s my first stuffed crochet project, and I was afraid of the polyfill showing through if I used another color)..Simply Soft in green, Perfect Match in lavender, and some old baby yarn in yellow. I’m kinda happy about the yellow center of the flower, I just made that up on my own to get rid of the hole in the center of the flower.
The heart pillow pattern came from CrochetMe
The flower’s from Dot’s Website
And the leaves from CrochetDoilies

I’ve been finding little bits of time to get my new WIP done (not the afghan, lol). It should be completed either tonight or sometime tomorrow 😀 Can’t wait to get it done.
On Friday, when I’m at the uni, I’ll be making a short stop to Joanns (Ok, wait, maybe a longer stop. It’s hard to pull oneself out of that place) to pick up a couple more skeins for the afghan. It’s a slight pain in the butt to have the afghan yarn available at a Joann’s about 1 hour away, but oh well.
While working on this presentation, my mind keeps slipping to the weekend and…yes, freedom. No more portfolio, no big presentation, no lesson plans.. I’m kinda eyeing that striped SWS bag (pic below) to finish, as well as making an attempt at this shrug, and yes the pink afghan that’s been pushed aside.
Ok, back to work.. See you!

My grandfather passed away at midnight on April 9th, from a viral infection, from what I understand. He lived a long life, being 83. I’ll miss you a lot, Grandpa, but I know you’re up with Grandma now and the pain’s over.
I really wish I could go to the funeral, however it seems the only affordable flights are available on Thursday night. Being that Senior Seminar’s IIP presentations are on Friday, I can’t make it up to Philly. 
Tan Fat Bottom Bag April 5, 2007
Posted by hesper in Crochet.3 comments
Okay. I just finished this last night at midnight. This bag was a present for my cooperating teacher, who took me in as an intern and let me do a full-takeover of her class. The bag took about 3 days to do, done in Caron Perfect Match in Lace.
I gave it to her at the end of the day, during the class’s spring party and the food/drinks were already distributed. She absolutely loved it, and went around showing the bag and the lining to the students, lol.
I’m sooooo proud of this, it’s my first fat bottom bag as well as first time lining something. It was a super-easy and fast pattern. The only part I hated was the first couple rows of the handle flaps, since I hate decreasing with a passion. But, damn, as I was finishing it up, part of me wanted to keep it. Oh well, haha, my cooperating teacher really deserved it. 🙂
Carnelian Necklace April 5, 2007

Ok, now onto the ‘best’ stuff, saved for last. 😉 This is my favorite necklace thus far, I just love the colors and the individual beads. It’s gotten a lot of nice comments too. The necklace is made of Carnelian nugget & 6mm rounds, as well as some glass beads thrown in. The pendant was a lucky find from Joann’s.

This went to my mom for Christmas. It’s basically pink glass beads with some clear glass and clear Swarovski crystals.
