New Coat

I got a new coat! I've been wanting a nice one for when its really cold out and I love it. Thanks to Sarah for helping me pick it out. <3 It is awesome! :D

Feathers all around.

These are the feather earrings I made for my friend Kendall and her mom. And the bottom two are what I made for Miss Liz. :) I think they turned out well. I still have a ton of feathers left, so you'll probably see some more feather earrings in the future. 

White Elephant

Made a Christmas card for my family in Connecticut. This year we made a White Elephant game out of our gifts. I think it's fun and cute!
I also printed out 12 red ornaments with numbers on them for them to draw out of a hat. :)

Excited...duh!

I HAVE A JOB! WOO! :D

The colors Duke!

La de da...

I needed to make flowers today...so that's what I did. :)

Lots of hoping...

*crosses fingers*

Flowers Galore

Finally a new pattern. Colors galore.

Hello Sunshine!

Hello! I have been healing and forcing myself to relax. :) How the mind races while the body lies and waits! I'm still healing but I'm hear to say I'm getting back to work. I'm going to get a part-time job to have while I search for my "dream job." *le sigh*

Also, I set up my other blog. Inspired by Jennery, I created a 'one word' blog. I plan to do one when they update, but hopefully will do one almost everyday or whenever I feel like it. I'm making a list of fun words to pull out of a jar; please feel free to make a list of suggestions and comment. I want to work on my writing and I'm debating joining NaNoWriMo. I'm not sure yet......I've always enjoyed writing as well as making art. Why not do a little of both? Hmmm. We'll see.

Ok, hopefully I'll have something new up here in the next day or two. :D

Oh, that tiles were not slippery!

Opps....I slipped and fell yesterday morning and in the process sprained my ankle. Won't be doing that again any time soon! Thankfully my parents and Miss Sarah were there to help me and I am very grateful to them for taking me (crying) to the ER.

Sarah took some pics, and I did too. Here is my pitiful face in the waiting room. :P

Here you have a lovely shot of my iced ankle and bags o' stuff.

Me in a better mood. Thankfully friends and family can make me laugh when I'm sad.

A close up!

My hospital bracelets.....some how they thought I was 45. That is my mother's birthday, not mine. I am 22 years old. I don't look that old, do I?

Sarah, looking sad for me. Thanks Sarah!

My mother filling out papers for me. Joey, my stepdad, had already left to go back to work.

The Box. That nurse in there hit my right leg twice and my left once (that being the injured foot) trying to wheel me in there.

Well, that was an eventful day. I do recommend not spraining your ankle. I felt so stupid, but very grateful that I had help. It will be a day or two before I post again. I'll be resting today, but I don't plan to let this defer me from working on my portfolio. Thankfully one only has to sit to work on a computer. :) Man, I'm clumsy! lol.

Miss Sarah's Tote Bag

This tote bag is for Miss Sarah. I hope her Mac Air will fit in here. It is just adorable. Brown with blue polka dots, blue lining, and blue handles. I bet it would be cute with some kind of trim at the top too, but this is what I have to work with. :) It is just too cute! I am a great admirer of tote bags, and bags in general. A collector too. You can never have too many bags to carry your yarn around in. So I hope this comes in handy for Miss Sarah.

P.S. This one only took me between 2 and 3 hours this time. :)

I had to buy this fabric....

Wouldn't you buy this lovely fabric too. I just had to have it, and then naturally make a tote bag out of it. I did much better this time, only messing up a little. I also did not mess up the handles this time. A bit smaller, but a definite success. :D

I am a sewing goddess!

I haven't made any new patterns since Thursday because I found my mother's brand spanking new sewing machine. Its been lost in her garage for over two years. Oh, I was soooo excited! Sarah and I made some things, but I must say my first bag is a disgrace compared to the beauty I made last night. I followed instructions, as best as I could, from a sewing book my mother recently got me. I made this awesome tote bag!

I messed up on the inside, but fixed it well. The only other mess up was the handles, which I'd sewn on the wrong way, but I went ahead and cut and fixed them. I think my next tote bag will be much more beautiful, but I must say I'm rather attached to this one. Thankfully I had fabric I bought from Hobby Lobby, way back when I worked there! Anyways, la!

Falling Flowers

This pattern was fun. I had to get all the flowers to fit together without touching. I wish ya'll could click on the photos, but there's still some kind of problem. If they've fixed it and you can then yay! I really like the blue one. More to come!

Neat 1

I made my first Neat Pattern, shown here in a variety of colors. I think these would be cute on some P.J.s. Those kind with the boxy texture. :)

Bird Flop

I finally scanned in all my newly drawn sketch pages and I really wanted to do a pattern with the bird I drew. I like the way both of these turned out. The blue being my favorite. I started both in Illustrator and thankfully layers can be dragged to a different file in Photoshop, which is where I finished them.

New Sketch Pages!

Here are the 8 new sketch pages I drew. Yay! New patterns will be posted shortly!
