Worst Week... Ever.

This week has got to be the worst week of my life. 

First, I'm tired. It's Wednesday and I'm just chillin' and I'm hungry and I have to get ready to go to the dentist in 5min. I'm sitting in a recliner (I think you can call it that. More like a death trap). I had just gotten off my laptop and put it beside me on the floor. I try to sit the chair up and it turns out the corner of my laptop is stopping it from moving and the foot-thingy-part is pushing it down. I move my laptop. When I open it, I seen that I can barely see the screen and it now looks like this:


I am currently looking for a replacement screen with my mother. I didn't know you could just replace laptop screens. 

Like I said I had to go to the dentist. I absolutely hate the dentist. I hate all doctors when I'm the patient, but I was going to the dentist, not all of the different types of doctors. 

Today, I had to go to the dentist AGAIN. Like I said, I hate going to the dentist, but this wasn't any ordinary dentist. I had to go to the orthodontist. The dentist two times in one week? I had to get a bracket   replaced  and now I'm off of my bands because the wire is weak. I have a slight cut in my mouth where some thing is scratching it. I didn't know it was there until we left. 

The real pluses for my week was that I went to the top of the Washington Monument on Tuesday, I found out that I can get my laptop screen replaced, And I watched the rest of the first season of my favoritest show on the planet right now. I cannot share the title because I feel as though it is only meant for me to watch.

I hate everything, especially going outside.

I am nearly done my crochet bag that I never said anything about previously. This is NOT a purse. I don't carry purses. If show you a picture, but I don't want you to strain you eyes by looking at a picture with horrible lighting. The bag isn't even fully assembled yet, but I'm getting there. 

Ciao!

So I started another project...

On Monday, I started a new project. I really wanted to start fresh after working hard on things that I felt annoyed with working on. I'm making my own Neapolitan blanket. Sure, a gazillion other people have done it, same stitch too, but I don't care. My mom picked out the colors and the pattern. I am SO excited for this.

(When I first started it)

(As of July 12th)



I'm using Loops & Threads Impeccable yarn, my favorite! I can't get crazy with telling you colors because I don't have the labels by me at the moment, but here are the colors:



As you can see, I'm working hard. I plan on it being an awesome, warm blanket. 

I'm working on creating an Etsy, if I hadn't already said so in my last post. I can't wait to get my shop set up. I still have orders to fulfill, I can't wait to get those out of the way so I can put my time and effort into creating my shop.

Ciao

2014 Projects... So far

Hey, guys, I'm back! However, I plan on staying here for as long as I can, hopefully for good.

Instead of just doing June projects, since I've been gone so long, how about all of the projects I've started/finished so far?

**PICTURES WILL COME ONCE I HAVE THE TIME. Sorry.


Here is my 2014 projects so far:

Pink, tante pose (sp? Word order?) beanie (Complete)

Black <Whatever it's going to be called) Hat (Complete)

Black Ribbed Beanie w/ Slight Slouch (Complete)

Dolls (What they are is a secret, still.) (Incomplete)

Blue (Turqua, it sounds stupid) Neck-warmer (Incomplete)

Black Sneaker Styled Slippers (Incomplete)

Laptop Case (Incomplete)

Basic All-Knit Scarves [2] (Complete)

SM Baby Beanies for Girl Scouts (Incomplete)

Multicolored Neckwarmer (Complete)



This is pretty much all that I've worked on so far this 2014.

*Note: I make my dolls with the guide of  "amiguruME" by Allison Hoffman. I love the book and has taught me a lot. I would totally recommend it to anyone who wants to make dolls or want to add a little more realism to them, this is definitely the route to go. It may just solve some of your problems because that's what happened to me.

My next post will be a social media post/update. I'll inform you of where you can contact me if you want to order something, you can just follow me, or anything else.

Ciao!
