I Never Write Here

So, I realized today when commenting on someone else's blogger blog, that I never write here anymore. I guess I found my new little blogging community too much fun and left you all here in the dust. Maybe because this blog, like MySpace, had too large of an audience that I knew in real life. And that's not fun. There are only so many things I can write about before pissing real life people off. Of giving more talking points in real life than I care to give. Questions about previous blogs are endless at times.

I'll try to maybe come back, once a week or so, and post something entertaining. I'll try to think about it at least.

But for now, just know that I'm not dead. Just busy leading my life at a new blog and in real life.
Come back in a month or so, maybe by then I'll have a drastic exciting update. :)

Pumpkins

I'm too tired to actually write anything. So... Look what I made!



It's a yarn pumpkin with knitting needles!!! Yay.
That's all. I'm tired.

Las Vegas!

We leave in just 30 minutes for the airport.
How excited am I?

So excited.

I have $20 to spend on gambling. I hope to win it all back, with maybe a little more, and then spend my winnings on yarn, haha. My boss laughed at me when I told him yesterday, "We're going to Vegas. I'm going to play $20 on my favorite arcade game, and then I'll win $150 from that. I will then take the $150, and go buy some yarn. I even have my suit case only half packed, to account for said yarn."

He just laughed and walked away. He thinks I've lost it, I'm sure, but I'm pretty confidant.

So, I'm off. Enjoy the weekend, it's 30 degrees warmer in Vegas that STL... :)

Buttony Progress!!!

Oh snap (or should I say button?) - the body of the sweater is done!!! It's a bit off because of my super-bust, but I like it and am quite happy. It looks like it will button more to the size where my bust is the biggest and then come back a bit after, but I'm okay with that. I may knit in a little extra to compensate, but I feel pretty happy either way. I think that I should have cast it off a little looser, but I wanted it to look clean and OCD. :)

So, with all that said, take a look:


Here is is on my couch - it looks so tiny!!


Here I am stretching it over to show where it will button...


I think this is my favorite picture of it so far - I think that it will be quite flattering when the buttons are in and the sleeves are done. :)

I think when this is done I will make another, but with contrasting raglan sleeves and adjust better for the bust on the other side.

But regardless - TA DA!

Massive Update

This will be mostly pictures because I don't feel like writing. I'm too lazy.
And so...


My awesome cupcake booth that my dad helped me make!


Looking at the resort from HWY 31 in Bay Harbor, Michigan. It rained and was humid the first day we were there, but after that it was the most beautiful place I had ever seen.


Michigan kicked ass. This is the beautiful view from out hotel room. I sat there for a few hours a day and just knitted and took it all in. It was a cool 85 degrees all week (not like the 102 degrees it was in STL today). There was a breeze, and it was just like being on the ocean.



The beach and pseudo-ocean.


The bride and groom! Steve (Scott's brother) was happier than ever. It was so great. Nothing could have been more beautiful.


The most adorable flower girl ever, Hallie, clearly bored to tears while waiting for pictures to be taken. :) She played croquet and her brothers played with the "life size chess set" behind her.


My Scott & I at the reception. It was unreal. Have I said yet how amazing it was there? :)


Another amazing sunset.


And on the way back to the airport, we stopped at the World's Largest Cherry Pie for a photo op! (Side note: Traverse City produces and distributes 75% of the world's cherries and every last one of them are amazing.)


Here we are posing "full of cherry pie" - yummy...



...and, that's all. I have nothing more. I just want to go back to Michigan.

yum.

So today was extremely productive. Well, sort-of.
I woke up (not by choice) at 8:25 am and couldn't go back to sleep.

So, I did some design-y stuff and then went to my parents' house and sanded a dresser/chest thing that I'm bringing to my apartment and made some strong attempts to paint it, but went through 2 cans of spray paint and ran out. Didn't expect to need that much...

So, then I went and got a hair cut and looked at some yarn but was really dissapointed when I finally gound my yarn to find that it didn't have the feel I was hoping for. Life goes on, I guess.

Then I went and had late lunch with my parents and painted a little more on the dresser. 3 cans down. That's all I could take. It's as painted as it's ever going to get.

After that, I went to my sister's house and we made cupcakes! And that is why I'm writing. Because I took beautiful pictures of them on my beautiful cupcake booth that my dad and I made. And so, here are the pictures:


Here's my favorite one alone, the "pink fortune fondant" cake.


A juicy shot of my three favorites. You can see the bench fabric and then my 1950s teal walls. :)


And then, all three again. I drool just looking. :)

Other than that, Scott is in the US!!! EEP! We talked on the phone today - TWICE! So I got about an hour and a half of his voice today. Oh my. Tuesday is sooooo close I can hardly take it.

I have tomorrow and Monday filled, so work on Tuesday had better be damn busy to make it go by fast.
YAY!

Some things.

So, went to the grocery store today to get the staples (milk, bread, diet A&W, sherbet ice cream in raspberry and lime...) and saw something that disturbed me just a little bit:


Makes me wonder what they could have put in here to make them not melt, along with just how good it can be for your system...

Also, Scott's cousin sent me pictures of him and the graduation yarn-erous that I made him. It was very exciting. Here is one of them:


It's very happy.

That's today's update. Oh, and Scott comes home in 5 days! Eep.
