Stuffs.

Ok, so I know I said my next post was going to be PS tutorial, but since I do not yet have internet in my home, I am not able to do that yet. But I do have two ideas on what to write about, so I think I'll just end up doing 2 tuts in the near future instead of deciding which one would be better.

Personal life: I have lost 13.8 pounds in the last 3 weeks! How awesome is that?! Just gonna keep truckin' along and see where that takes me now. :)

What have I been working on, you ask? (Ok maybe you didn't ask, but I'm still going to tell ya!) I have been making baby shower invitations for my sister-in-law and other various cards. So - that is what I am going to share today. By no means am I super awesome at doing things like this, but I really love getting to learn and be creative in more that just photography (and crocheting) so I do my best. Hope y'all enjoy!

Tah-dah! :)

The Happening

Ok, so seriously that was a horrible movie...granted I never actually watched it, but why would I waste time I can't get back?

Anyway - there has been a lot that has gone down since my last post and am going to take a brief hiatus from posting for a little while to get my life back on track (not that it was off, but I have some prioritizing to do). In that time I will be working on a Photoshop tut for I don't know what, but I will have it nonetheless. I know there's a lot out there, but I figure one more little how-to can't hurt, right? Hopefully...

1. Looking for a part time job kinda stinks, especially with what hours I have at the full time - I work here when most people would want to go to their second jobs. (No complaints though, I thoroughly enjoy where I work {and who I work with} it just means I have to wake up WAY early.)

2. I don't have puppies anymore. They've gone off to live with the person they're meant to be with and I'm babysitting (puppysitting) this cute little affenpinscher that I have named Gidget. She was either lost or dumped - no one has claimed her so far...and if I wasn't looking for another job she'd be mine to take. But! Since I am looking and no one has claimed her, we have a couple of hopeful homes for her. She deserves it, the litlle furball. She's taken a hold of my heart. All puppies do that...

3. I've moved! My place will shortly be girly-fied (by shortly I mean when I have money). And now I can bake and cook and do whatever I want. Huzzah! (That includes falling asleep watching FotC and Arrested Development)

4. For some reason I've put crocheting on hold - I have several things I need to add to the store, but I feel a little less passionate about it than I was 2 weeks ago. Like I said - major changes happened, and its just a matter now of getting back into it all.

5. I found my library card in the move - too bad I don't like the smell and idea of library books anymore...all those greasy hands touching them - germs everywhere. No thank you. Borders or B&N any day over that...what? I can't help it!

6. I'm too old to stay out late anymore. I mean, I am only 25 - but that crap is ok for college...I'm just not feelin' it anymore to be out past 10:30 or 11...that's my bedtime. Rather, that's the time I lay in bed and read for an hour or watch aforementioned television shows (on DVD, mind you).

7. I am vowing to take a vacation. Soon! Austin City Limits with me, anyone? Anyone??

That's all for now - like I said, next post is going to be a tutorial. Suggestions? Leave me a comment. :)

First Attempt: Amigurumi

So I've never done this before, and I'm also making something (the surprise for the new nephew/niece - we find out for sure this week) but it is quite a bit larger than the typical amigurumi you see. I have, at the moment, 1 leg and both ears left to make (oh and the tail). And since I didn't have the eyes for it, I just used some black yarn. I don't think it looks too bad, but tell me what ya think! Oh yeah, its an elephant. :)
