The Search is Over!

I finally found an apartment! *Jumps around and giggles.* Actually, I guess saying "finally" is a bit too much, considering I've only been looking for a couple weeks. Angela and I were looking to move into a place by the 1st of October, though I didn't realize how close that really was until we were told we could move in on Monday. 'Oly crap. This place was actually the first one we put a finished application in for, and we got it the next day. It's so beautiful and wonderful, I'm going to post plenty of pictures on tuesday before I put all my junk in it. It's seriously my dream apartment, hardwood floors and original tile, pale mint green walls and white trim, you'll just have to see it, very very soon. Thanks again for all the support guys!

    It's so lovely, I can't wait to get in there and take pictures for everyone! It's got plenty of light and space, and Angela and I have decided to turn the living room into an art studio, she's a fantastic painter. Tuesday's move-in day, hopefully we'll have some pics soon after (and some internet with which to post them, lol)!

    sorry I didn't give your blog a better description. I wrote your description first so it took me a while to warm up. writing is not my strong point if you haven't noticed. thought I would mention this incase you were wondering

    did you get my email about a week ago, I think? I'm asking because the first one I sent out came back to me for some reason

Crocheted Produce Bag

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern. I am sure there are way better ones out there, but most of them end up decreasing at the end to get a smaller opening, but I wanted mine large so leafy stuff that I buy in multiple little bunches could poke out, like baby broccoli or bok choy. So here is the pattern, just in case you want to make a couple as well. Materials: 1 skein Lion Brand Organic Cotton Yarn (#680), or similar worsted weight yarn Size I-9 Crochet Hook Little scrap of fabric (optional) Rnd 1: Begin with an adjustable loop , and crochet 12 double crochet (dc) into the loop and pull tight. Rnd 2: *Chain 7, skip 1 dc and slip stitch in next dc.* Repeat around. It should look like a little flower: Rnd 3: Chain 7, Slip stitch (slst) into 4th chain (ch) of round 2. You will ch 7 and attach it to the center of every little petal of the flower you created in round 2. At the end of the round ch 3 and slst into the 4th

I Love Lamp!

First of all, this is my 100th post which is some sort of milestone, so yay! And secondly, I've got another tutorial for a parasol light fixture to share! Today Michael and I were working on getting some light fixtures put up, which has been on my to-do list for a rediculously long time now. Endless gratitude for Michael making me get my butt in gear! So he helped me hang this nifty lotus flower-shaped lamp from Ikea over my sewing table. (I've always wanted one!) I finally have enough light to see what I'm doing, so maybe I'll actually start making things again! So anywho, on to the tutroial... Remember my idea for turning a parasol into a light fixture? Well with Michael's help I finally did it! We had a lot of technical issues to work out, so hopefully if anyone out there wants to make one this tutorial should save you a lot of time. As far as materials, you only need a hacksaw, a parasol, and some wire. Start by cutting the handle off of the paraso
