Preparing for the Show

I picked up about 40 paper bags with handles the other day for use at my show over the weekend, I know I know, I procrastinated. I should have ordered bags from Uline or something, then I could've gotten whole bunches for relatively inexpensive. But hey. College gets in the way of life right now because of finals coming up, papers due, tests back to back, projects, presentations, worrying about grades and registering for next year, what do you expect?

But I digress, I got some bags and then decided that I would decorate them so that my customers and other individuals at the show could easily see where the carrier had been shopping :) What do you think?

Just Don't Know What To Do!

Oy. So summer is coming up soon (Yay!) and I still don't know what I'm doing for it. I could potentially stay here in this little, rinky dink, dusty, hot college town or I could go up to Denver. Either way, I will be taking classes, the classes I will take varies depending on which school I attend, but there will be more credits on my transcript by the end.

Both would be beneficial for me. With option A I would get to retake a few classes that I did poorly in last year, this time with some friends and motivation. I would keep the job I have now and keep the apartment I have now. I would get to help out a lot more with starting up the Chi Omega chapter we are trying to get going and get to hang out with some females for once.

With option B I would get to take classes up there that would transfer down here and that I absolutely need to get my degree and only the credits would transfer so I wouldn't have to worry so much about the overall grade received. I would get to live in Denver again for the summer (like I did last summer). It would be refreshing and always fun. I called their admissions office today to see if I got accepted as I haven't recieved any mail about it and they said that I had but they hadn't gotten my NMT transcript yet, whattheheck. I sent it in a few weeks ago, or, rather, I had the office here send it in weeks ago. I'm gonna have to see what's going on with that. Also, if I go to Denver I would HAVE TO be eligible for the WUE program otherwise I just simply can't afford to go. So....my heading up there is contingent on those two things, evidently.

*Sigh*

All this worry on top of all my worry about finals and finishing up the semester with all passing grades has got me all overwhelmed and stressed out. To offset this stress, here's a pretty picture:

Pretty Flowers

I took and edited this photo myself, I'm quite pleased with it :)
For some reason, it makes me want to go on a road trip...back to the 60s and 70s in a big VW Bus with my friends and dog :)

Window Shopping

I was just doing a little "window shopping" on Etsy just now and totally came up with the cutest little outfit that would totally fit me if I had the cash. This adorable little black dress from 13bees and these ohsocute shoes from Thrush. What's not to love? Totally chic, sophisticated, cute.

I'm Seein' Spots

This past weekend I got a new pair of sunglasses! Now, you see, I'm not really a sunglass kind of person, I have a smaller head so I can rarely find some that fit, look decent, don't hurt my ears (they have piercings that make glasses difficult to wear sometimes), and don't give me headaches. But then I found these!

Super fun, cute, they go with everything :) Or at least, I like to pretend they do, since they are so awesome. Here's my friend Zita wearing them, I think she looks like she should be in Paris, walking a black poodle with an espresso or something

Matt's Birthday

This weekend was Matt's birthday! Woohoo!

I got him a custom tshirt from precisionengraving on Etsy, and I made him a beanie out of a wool/llama blend in a gorgeous deep brown with accents in orange. I also made him a delicious, vegetarian lasagna from scratch (except for the noodles), and homemade bread.

Less Than Two Weeks!

My show is coming up so quickly, less than two weeks to go! I have been working on quite a few different things for it, more hackysacks, beanies, and pouches, I knit up a large, stretchy, cotton market tote, another one in the works...wanna see what I've been up to knit-wise?
