Busy Busy Busy!

I know i haven't been on much been working 11 hours days 7 days a week so i haven't had much time for anything lately.  i start a new job today yea!  in honor of my segregate grandma's birthday i made this cute little pillow!

i also made this for my best friend's daughter Serenity's first birthday since the party was hello kitty themed. 

and finally i got some dissolvable canvas for stitching on fabric to try it out i made this for my mom.  its a pattern I've been wanting to do for years but never got around to.  unfortunately the black fabric bled on the thread when i put it in the water to dissolve. so be warned!  well till next time!



marathan museum run

yesterday my research team and i went to the colored cowboy museum here in fort worth. when we arrived the owner told us it was his birthday and that he had to give us a short version so he could get to his party.  he was incredibly nice and the 7 minute tour was great.  the museum featured native American, African American, Hispanic and Asian cowboys through the years.  he was telling us about how they plan to expand next year too.  he then invited us to his birthday party/ mixer at the fancy hotel downtown.  we were reluctant to attend but agreed to follow him so we could see the museum near by.  he thought it closed at 6 but as it would have it it closed at 5 so we had 5 minutes to view the exhibits. the paintings (i regret to say i didn't get the artist names we were so rushed) we of cowboys and native Americans.  you could feel the fire from the paintings and the cold harsh snow in others.  i was grateful to get to see them.  after the museum closed we went to his birthday party and met the city commissioner of fort worth. he was very nice and was telling us about how he wanted to move the archives to a more accessible location.  i hope your day was as eventful as my 30 minutes was!  after we left the party we went to a fort worth tradition t.j. Garcia's for dinner the food was excellent even though they only have 2 menu items.  the mariachi band was great and the gardens were amazing i highly recommend it!.

scarriest trip ever

so we flew to fort worth today on united airline.  when we got to the Pensacola airport we stopped to get a drink i looked out and the plane had tape on the nose cone i able had a panic attack.  the power went off twice at the airport before we boarded and the ride was bumpy.  then we got to Houston for our flight change and almost missed the flight even though we were sitting right there because we couldn't hear the announcements.   we were at the back and you could smell the bathroom and the plane fumes it was hot too so Chelsey and i got air sick.  then it took two hours to get our rental car.  when we finally arrived at the hotel (very nice by the way) we got in the elevator and it would go up a few feet then drop back down (we are still air sick at this point not helping that) we finally got it to stop and rushed out carrying Chelsey's luggage up the stairs.  lol i was never so glad to see solid ground.

so this recently i got a second job as an archivist :) we have been traveling everywhere lately this week we are in auburn and i was driving by with the team when i saw this...

 how cool is that? You know I'm an anime geek so i totally geeked out when i saw this lol.

on another point i recently have been reading katie macalister's books i highly recommend them.  i read "its all Greek to me" last week on my trip to Birmingham and it was awesome.  i loved it so much i got "you slay me" for this trip i like it so far.  she has such a great sense of humor.  i also have been watching "Love Rain" it is a Korean drama staring Jang Geun Suk (love him!!!!)  he plays the dad in the 1970's and the son in 2012 the female star is from girls generation.  i love this show i cant wait for the rest of it!

till next time

charms, keychains, resin oh my!

So lately my friend rachel and i have been crafting (she makes awesome felties just saying :). I have been working on bottle cap and resin jewelry and cell phone charms. i think they turned out great for a first try! my resin jewelry had bubbles so i will have to work on that but that seemed to be the only real problem with them so go me!

well hello!

Its been a while but i have had that crud that has been going around since mardi gras.  i have been working on my gaara cross stitch pattern from naruto but i need a better camera to pick up the color differences in the piece.  I also started watching two need Korean dramas.

 The first is called Flower Boy Ramyun Shop.  it was really cute and very funny.  The main character eunbi who is 25 fell for a gorgeous guy named Cha Chi Soo she met in the women's bathroom.  she later finds out that he is 6 years younger then her and she is an intern at his school so she backs off.  then enters Choi Kang Hyuk who is 6 years older then her claiming to be her husband.  all kinds of hilarity ensues.  i highly recommend it.

the second was Shut Up! Flower Boy Band.  it is still airing and i have seen 8 eps so far.  It is about a group of 6 rockers called Eye Candy.   Kwon Ji Hyuk is the secondary leader of the band after thier leader dies tragically.  they are sent to a new school and begin a rivalry with the band strawberry fields led by the richest boy in school Yoo Seung Hoon who is courting the deceased leaders muse Im Soo Ah. 

this is a very awesome drama.  i only started watching it for the main actor who was in lie to me and the deceased leader who was in i really really like you and L from infinite.  lol I'm so shallow when it comes to picking dramas :)

Happy New Year!

     Well a new year has begun (yes i know i'm a bit late :p) and with it i am learning to sew from my mom!  Between fighting with the machine to get the bottom threaded and stitching a straight line the my butt is getting kicked by an inanimate object *sigh*.  oh well you can't win them all on the first try :).  Here is my first attempt at finishing a project.  i still have to add the tassel but i'll tackle that once i'm done licking my wounds from the sewing machine.  I got the fabric at hancocks a while back.  i think it goes well with the theme.  I will either use a green or gold tassel i haven't decided yet.   I hope everyone one has a great new year ahead of them!
