Swap Package!

Yay My Swap partners package to me arrived today! I squeeed very loudly as I got out of my car and ran to the front door, there is nothing like getting mail that's not a bill! I got all kinds of wonderful stuff from my Wolfie Friend, so good my cold dead heart almost started up again! (I'm on the Coven side ;)) Although there is one thing that kai will laugh at when she opens her box :) So here I have pictures of all the pretty!

I got very pretty hand made stitch markers in lovely vampire colors.
An adorable bag which i will be using lots on the bus to and from the city for my sock projects
Noro Sock yarn which I've always wanted to try (I confess to doing a happy dance when I saw it)
Jaywalker sock pattern! squee so nice!
Vanilla Chai Tea
Kissables (Just ignore the open package :)) a Note book with a sweet message from My Wolfie Buddy)
Small charms for a cell phone in the shape of dinner.... I mean cute animals :)
a Sticky pad in the shape of My vampire first name.
And a really cute to do list that I know I'll use a lot!

Thank you Kai! I love my Package! I hope yours arrives soon!

Twilight Swap Package sent!

Yay! My Wolfie's swap package is in the mail! I made sure to get a tracking number for it, no way that package is getting lost or going anywhere but my swap partner! Hope she likes it. Speaking of Werewolves, last night was full moon and the crazy people came into the store, I mean really they where all crazy! I've got to start taking off on nights of the full moon!

Hmmm not much else to post except I was dumb and left my student ID so I can't check books out of the library ;( sad face.

Alright off I go to find ways to avoid doing my work :)

Hiya people

Wow it's been a long time since I posted! Too long really. But just a quick update I've finished my partners bag for the Twilight Swap and I have most of her goodies, just a few more that I've got to get tonight, and two I have to replace because Bernard thought it would be fun to claw them to death. Cats! The Bag didn't come out like I had hoped it would, but it didn't come out badly either. I just had to improvise a bit on one part. It's drying now and will go in the mail tomorrow morning. I just hope I have enough goodies, I want her to have an awesome package, but now that I'm seeing some of the others kits I'm thinking "Oh I should have done that! What a cool idea!" Oh well hopefully she'll like it. Well I'll update more later, I've got to clean my desk up, it's driving me crazy!

Laters!

Wow I don’t think I quite realized how close Dragon Con was until I saw

belluthien’s flight plans. I’ve got lots of work to do if I want to have stuff to wear. My mother has twice this week shown her coolness in the costume department. Most mothers would freak out if there daughters where once again planning on dressing up in male costumes. When I told mom my plans for my Carlisle costume and how I had been looking for a wig but could not find one I liked and that I thought of trying spray on color (this is for the Twilight book release) she runs downstairs and unearths a wig that will work that she had from a few Halloweens ago. And then asks if she can do the vampire make-up :)

She is also helping me start a diet (and doing it with me) to help me slim into a few of my costumes and to help motivate me make the new ones. She also said she’d help me figure out a budget so that I don’t feel horribly guilty spending money on fabric and costumes. I love her, it so nice to have support for the odd things I do.

That being said I know I’ll make the Spellbinder Costume, which will only take a day or two. I’ll also work on polishing Young Snape I need a new sweater for it and I need to order a patch. This time I will remember to bring my Potions for Dummies book :) those are for sure. Then of course I have the ones from years past. I may try to get in a simplified version of Baldwin’s white robes; it just depends on money and time. I may also bring Carlisle depending on his reception at the release. I’m kind of looking forward to the time crunch, I always get more done.

I’m looking forward to seeing my con friends!

I should never be blond

Hello world,

Not much new going on with me I've had yesterday and today off so it's been nice, mostly I cleaned yesterday and today will be laundry (yuck!) But I need to do it and to hang it all up. (work in a store where rehanging cloths is part of your job for 6 hours out of the day and you'd hate it even more too) Last night I did try putting my twilight costume together. I'm not sure what I think of it yet, part of me says not bad considering I'm a) a girl b) a brunette and c) chubby. The other half thinks I look more like the albino in The Princess Bride.
While I had the make-up on I thought it would be fun to see if I'd make a good Esme (my hair was on it's last leg though so it doesn't look great. would you like to see? This was just a test run so no decisions have been made yet But I'd love to know what you (honestly) think.

re-post from my LJ

Mostly for my swap partner in case she's trying to learn more about me, or or those cool cats who find this from Raverly ;)

I really should update more often, but at least nobody else really is either. I've just been doing the same old same old. My mom's had this last week off from work so it's been nice to have someone around the house. She's mostly been trying to clean up the downstairs which has been a mess from taking everything out of the upstairs for the new carpet. I financial aid got my room back to being a bit more "me". I've got more pictures and posters up. I really need to clean again it's gotten cluttered with laundry and coke cans (no I don't have a drinking problem why do you ask? *shoves empty cans under desk*) I’ve also got everything in for my financial aid. I can't believe the summer is almost up. Squee this time next year I'll be a free women! Probably the most exciting thing going on for me right now is a Knitting Swap I signed up for. It’s kind of like a secret Santa except with yarn. This one is a Twilight themed swap. I've just gotten my partners name and details and I've started making her stuff. (We have to make them stitch markers, a bag, and give them yarn and a pattern and any other goodies we might want to throw in as well as email them) It's been a lot of fun so far. (Ya I know you guys probably think it sounds boring) I've made her stitch markers and they turned out really nice.

Sigh to be honest this post is really just to distract me from the cupcakes downstairs, and it's not working. I went to the store with the intent to get stamps so that I can finally mail the letter I wrote to Ruthanne (last week) but I went to the store and came out without stamps but with 3 one liter bottles of diet coke and pre-sliced cupcakes *hangs head in shame*

Oh I almost forgot until I chose my icon :) I've now got all of the Vicar Of Dibley episodes! Hee anyone want to have a marathon?

I need a better brain

Sigh, I have new respect for knit designers. I've been trying to figure out a way to turn the rod of Aesculapius into a cable that could be used on socks. (I thought it would be a neat cable for a Dr Cullen Sock.) The rod and maybe a knit heart in between each since he is both a doctor and compassionate. But I just can't get my mind wrapped around how to do it. I think I'll just give up on the idea though, I'm not cleaver enough to think of how to to it.
Other then that I haven't done much today, it was nice :) I went shopping with my mom , I was very tempted by a very inexpensive set of Are you Being served? I may yet cave and go and buy it, I don't think I'll see it that cheap again.

I'm really looking forward to the Twilight swap I'm dying to start buying things for it. I hope who ever I get doesn't mind if I sew their bag, i think I would do a better job with a sewn one then trying to knit. (I don't think I could get a knit one finished in time!)

Anyway I'm going to go get a bit of ginger bread and a shower, i may update some more after, although i don't know what about. Maybe a meme of some sort.
