Project: Day 4-ish

Well, I skipped a couple of days and then I did one shape for a day or two, but yesterday I worked on it for a while and it deserved it's own post. So this is an estimated day of work.

I'm excited for the next couple of days because it soon will have a more finished look. I'll sew in all the yarns and put a border on. I'll need to go pick up some more yarn for it but it's coming together. (haha I made a pun and didn't even realize it)

Martian Child

I've been taking a break from my Project lately and doing things that I really love. This would be stalking craftster.org. I came across this today and decided to make one of my own. I walked out the door went to Walmart and bought two dollar fabric. I came back home stuck in Martian Child and started to cut and sew.

It is a convertible dress, sometimes called an infinity dress. It is basically a circle skirt with two long straps that you can tie any way you want.

This is me in the dress and I'm wearing it crisscrossed in the front. (Martian Child is on the TV in the background)

One of the ways to tie it. Yeah, I kinda got that 90's floral feeling too.

New Project: Day 3

Well, it's day 3 of the days that I've decided to work on it.
I took two days off to go home and celebrate Jesus's resurrection on Easter.

Here is the progress. I'm not sure how I feel about it anymore.


It'll probably look better with all of them having the white outline and then a border of white around the whole thing.

New Projet: Day Two

Ok here was day 2 you know what it is?

Gee, what are all of these shapes?


TaDa!

New Project: Day 1

I'm starting a new crochet project. I want to see how long it takes me to finish it. You can see it come together, if you want.

I'm sure you all really care about crocheting. I know, my life is soo exciting, but I like it so OH Well.

Here was day 1.

Can you tell what I'm making?

I'm pretty sure you'll get it by tomorrow.

The Great Flood of 2008

The water has arrived.
I don't know where you have been, but in the midwest it has been raining and raining hard constantly for the last few days. Many of the local schools were canceled because the country roads were closed due to road closings.
I have a friend who's apartment is essentially in a basement and he had 5 inches of standing water and moved out and found a new place to live!
Our basement flooded and now the whole house STINKS.

So anyways, I went to the river to get a look.

In Cape Girardeau we have this pretty neat levy system. (I think it is a levy) It is basically a big cement wall.

(This is a picture I took standing right next to the river in November 07)
Water was all the way up to the wall today.

The City of Cape Girardeau closed the gates at the big wall because the river is soo high!
Here are the pictures to prove it.

On the other side of that wall is where the picture above was taken.



This picture shows that there is 60 feet of space from the water to the bridge.

Failure!

Oh man trying to make that sock monkey was a total failure.

Here is me trying..



It looked like I could do it but it would have taken some time to make it look good.
Another problem was that I tried to make it out of a hane's tube sock.

Oh, well. I ended up crocheting a blanket to give to my cousin at her baby shower.
If only I had a picture of that, that turned out beautifully.

Valuable Information

I just started to blog and I was writing in Hindi, didn't know I could do that!

Anyways, back to the point. I just found something great that I will be using in the close future, meaning later today.

I'll show you how mine turns out.

Here is the most valuable thing I've found on the internet in the last month with the exception of google reader.
