End!

I finished my purple fabri-knit purse. I got really bored at grandmas and had too. I'll post a picture as soon as possible. I realized that constant I-cording is boring.

In other news:
My house was robbed and we lost Christmas. Damn grinches who stole Christmas!

My Eyes!

I have been concentrating on reading some fluffy bunny articles. I just hope that I never sounded like that years ago. I've been working on my website. I learned how to do image maps. Go me. After I had it up on the page and everything, I realized, I should've did that last because I'll be adding more too it. I'll figure it all out later. David keeps harassing me about using Blender. I just opened it and I don't understand it! Sure, 3-D models are cool but only if you can use them! Maybe I'll do a complete site overall...*thinks*....hmm...and this version won't suck as bad.

I finished another I-cord today. At this rate, I won't have it done till Febuary! *screams* Although, I saw some hairfalls that cost $50, so I am saving money! Another Saturaday not attending the Stitch 'N Bitch cause of David. I wanted to go and he didn't.

David is snoring.

Fatigue

This week has been draining. Oh, so draining. I skipped school once this week and overslept another day. I rarely do my work in psy. and sociology. I need sleep to function and I ain't funtioning right now. I feel bad that David suffers beside me because he can't sleep without me near. I think I need to I-cord my hair falls a little longer. I'll do an experimental hair fall the first half of grandmas or something. I'll figure it out. I could just do different lengths and see what I get. Night. Night to bed I go....

Christmas, 4-H and Speeches

First, what I am getting everyone for Christmas.
Virginia: Hot pink Yarn ball with needles, Tips
Charlie: Green Yarn ball with needles, Tips
Emily: A Yarn ball with needles, Tips
Desha: Purple Yarn ball with needles, Tips
Heather O.: A neon purple/neon green Yarn ball, Knit.1(for that knitted corset that I hope she'll love), Tips
For everyone else who does not knit(how sad for them!):
A cookie tin with Brikkle and a card:
Heather O.
Brian(or is Brain?)
Krista
Crystal
Tiffany
Rodrigo(is that spelled right?)
That is everyone!
I'll of course have brikkle and cards for the people who get gifts. I need to send cards to: Ms. Carver, the 9 state officers, the 4-H Teen council, Cathy, Abby, Mirissa, Lisa A. from District, my teachers, Helen and Grace, my delegation leader, Mrs. Zabilka for trying so hard to get me into French I and Spanish III, And I cannot think of anyone else.


Today, I had my speech run-off. There were only three rooms. Why is public speaking such a fear? I find it ridiculous. I wouldn't be a state officer if it wasn't for 4-H public speaking skills. Virginia said I was barely making my seven minute limit. She was signalling me like crazy so I would know. Of course, I didn't see it. What was my speech about? Knitting. I only practiced it once. I just used things I read about over and over again(because I love to reread the begining of knitting books while I knit). Jan Carman was in the room to watch her kids give their fab-tab-u-lous speeches. Afterworlds, I was to wear something knitted in my hair(since I like to wear ties in my hair), practice, and relax. Maybe I should knit during my speech! That wouldn't flow well. While I was filling out my regional papers, Jan Carman asked if I could help her with the class. I was so happy she asked. That makes everything better. Mom was happy, too.

I have two Lindor chocolates left.

4-H and Knitting

Last November, I talked to Cathy about starting a knitting club or project that I could lead. Cathy said talk to her about it when the begining of the year starts. Virginia finally finished her scarf. In the Jess. Co. 4-H, there is a family that rules. That family is the Carmans. Anna Carman asks if I made Virginia's scarf. She of course explained it was hers. Well, Anna said how she was thinking of starting a knitting club. Virginia told her Cathy was saying I could start one. Well, you see, Anna didn't even know what stitches made garter. I read alot of knitting books from all across the world and no place calls garter something different. *looks around* On Saturday, I got a letter about the 4-H Knitting Project lead by Jan Carman. I felt hurt and betrayed. Yet another award goes to the Carmans. Ugh is all I have to say. Today I teach Virginia how to seed stitch.

What I Want for Christmas, Santa

Dear Santa,

I've been very good this year. I would like the following for Christmas.
  • Swift
  • Yarn and ooddles of it. I need some in bulky size to make this half sweater and some more Wool of the Andes.
  • Double pointed needles--any size will do!
  • Circulars, especially size 8 16" inches. I love hats in a round.
  • Pattern books...like Loop-D-Loop.
  • Pattern-A-Day Calender
  • Drop spindle
  • Straight needles(you can't have too many when you loose and bend them like me)
  • That strip cutter thing that Sara Beth was a talking about.
  • Fabric glue
  • Will power to finish some projects.

Hair Falls

I love my hair. I believe it is a canvas. I rememeber tying ribbon togther and sticking it into my hair. It was a nine year olds fevered imagination that seems to predate my sudden intreast in hair falls. I think the encouraging thing that makes me go, 'hairfalls now!' is the fact I cannot dye my hair. Yes, at first seeing my natural hair color seemed exciting...now, it doesn't. Maybe it is after Cathy said I am not blonde. Maybe it is the lack of art in my life or how everyone is dying their hair. I'm sorry, but I was one of the few who dyed hair in this school since 9th grade. I was "Blue's Clues" and now, lots of people are colored up. Maybe it is just the inclination of goth and punk being chic. I don't know what it is. Maybe I pathed their way to being dyed.
Now, I am getting pretty antsy to dye my hair. Those silly pictures of me in purple, red, and blue did it! Argh! Well, on vampirefreaks.com, they have a cool group of girls who do crafts. They love hair falls. I've seen them on a girl at Rocky Horror. So, studying them, I realize what I am going to do. I am going to I-cord me some hairfalls, then felt them. It will cover my horrible I-cordiness. I hope it works and a great way to dig into my wool yarn stash. Yay. Then, I shall be cool. I have one done so far. In lets say it was two hours of work? Maybe I can have them done by January. I could have them knitted by Christmas but felted who knows when?
