we bag it

"We wrap it, and then we bag it
In a tight little package and there you have it
Or else we sack it, do you wanna sack it?
All right, lets sack it"
lyrics

im working on bracelet bags, a couple of very large granny square bag .knitting a hat . sewing a purse for my mom. and i have to make something for a personal swap to get more caution tape.

toby and I anniversary is coming up 9-11-2004 its wooden. im going to find something for him online so im not sure if it will be her in time im going to order it tommorow

a little down

I got a lot of WIP's out of the way. but now i've started more. i dont have as many going as i used to . which is a little bit of an improvement right

I got an order by email. Two fat bottom bags, and a pair of long fingerless glove. she hasn't replied back with the shade of blue that she wants so i can't start work on that yet.

i have a beret in the works. a barbie dress, but i've only done 2 row out of 100 so that can be put on hold. i'm finishing up a pair of short fingerless gloves. i should have those done if i give my self two hours or so to work on them.

i've been getting really into working with tape and making bags. i did a fused plastic bag which im very proud of. i've made a few other things with tape. mostly because i'm a little afraid of putting so much time and effort into sewing with my machine and it turning out bad like the skirt. but the skirt was my own fault with not mesuring right and then adding more fabric.

i was in Jo-anns today and sewing classes cost 40$ which i guess isn't as bad as i thought it would be. but i don't know i dont want to be the slow on in a class or the one that just doesnt get something. which is also why i still haven't learned to swim yet, and the fact that i freak out when water get in my ears.

I think i have my swap partners box all ready to ship. But just like every time i do a swap i feel like my box just wont measure up to all the others. even though were only supposed to spend 20$ i think that people spend more. but i just need to relize that everyone is great at different things. and maybe my swap partner wont be upset that shes not getting wool, bamboo or silk.

I still need to get around to typing up the letter i wrote or just rewriting it so that she can read it. because much like a blog when i start writing it only makes sense to me.

Toby was supposed to have his name change hearing today . but i guess the newpaper that he puplished the date to is to new. so the courts wouldn't take it. now he is going to have to wait another month or more.

but he did get his name changed at work and told alot of people to start calling him Tobias and use male pronouns. so yay for him.

i've kinda been in a rut about my hair. i've been in whats called a hair challenge.you keep your hair in protected hair styles for months at a time. and its to make and keep your hair healthy. but i got so bored that i was almost about to straighten my hair with a flat iron. but then i said hmm lets see what the curls are looking like i haven't had my hair loose for a while.

I took out the twist washed my hair. and fell in love with my afro again. I went out and brought some new products for curly hair. totally twisted shampoo and condtioner, and mousse. my hair looks amazing im just loving it. i dont want flat lifeless hair. i mean people with straight hair have to use products just to make their hair as full as mines. love what you got i guess.

i don't have to listen to you

so i'm apart of a lot of swaps. on ravelry.com . i'm kinda poor right now so i've been cutting down on them. Im in
swap on a budget i'm not really sure how 20$ is cheap but i like the group so i keep doing it. I would say that my crafting style is not simply or clean. so when they wanted to put together a theme to their swap i knew i was in trouble but i had already signed up.

i put re-use out there as a choice, another good on was from my city/state and then there is color.

i don't even think i have anything all in one color. that seems so boring to me. so limiting, i mean i can try to do it. but it wont be as fun. and before i knew that color had won the vote i got ton of maps and city guides. So i'm still going to use them. and i had all of these cool 3R's ideas. so i'm not going to just not do them. i will just have to try to do it in one color.

i don't have much money. so what i don't have i make up for in crazy handmade items. I really don't know why anyone would want a 20$ ball of yarn of tons of random items. thats not fun right.

~~~~~~~~

oh yea so toby's birthday is coming up so i ask him what kind of cake he wants. and he says he want a donut cake as big as a car donut. well i can't bake that so i ask a lady at work who's second job is baking. 15$ thats a pretty good deal for all the craziness of what he wants.

something like this
