"How Many Bugs Did They Test?"

The whole conversation between Daddy & my cousin, Nathan:



Daddy: Hey Nathan, you won't believe this, but sciencist have figured out what the last things is that goes throughs a bug's mind when he hits a windshield!

Nathan: NO way! What is it?!

Daddy: His butt.

Nathan: Really? How many bugs did they test?



That made us laugh, so, so, so hard.


Yeah, we had a lot of fun. Here's some pictures of the beach!









There was a surfing dude when I was taking the first round of pictures, so I just had to snap some shots of him surfing!

I'll do another post about our vacation in a bit.

Finally, Something Worth Blogging ABout

I've been in such an inspiration funk lately that, for the past few days, I was accutally waiting for th UPS guy. Around here, they can come as late as 5 PM. But it was worth it.


I ordered five books off of Amazon, but strangely, the order got messed up, and I only received three, while the other two haven't even shipped yet. And when they do get shipped, it will be with some of Daddy's stuff.


A really hilarious book. Full of stuff about being a crocheting and yarn.


Really interesting, though it doesn't say about the pattern if you want to, oh, say, do something Bavarian with only one color.


This one is hugely cool. I'll might just break out some regular yarn and work some of the tablecloths into beautiful blankets.

:~:+:~:

Well, while we're at the beach, I'm gonna be teaching my Aunt to crochet!

Her interest peaked when I gave her a crocheted blanket for Christmas.

It was a beautiful varied dusty red, tan, and brown granny squared blanket. It was a first-time blanket for me, since I sc'd it together instead of my wonky whipstitch. And, it was also my first time ever making flowers, which I made and sewed onto every other blanket. The flowers were an off-white-nearly-tan, and then I made smaller flowers with leftover yarn and sewed them onto the white-ish flowers. I seriously hope that you have a mental picture of it, since I don't have an accual picture of it! XD


Ever since I gave her the blanket, she's been wanting to learn, and finally we have a chance! So, I'm gonna try my best to be a lot better of a teacher than I was when I was teaching my Wed. nite class. It's only one person, so it should be easier, right??

Well, I hope that I can post soon.

I think I'll might actually start something with regular yarn in the thread book. I've got my eye on a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L tablecloth.

Second-Best

Okay, so I haven't felt sand between my toes yet..


But, I sat beside the pool yesterday, listened to the jet run, and dipped my toes in.

Funny thing is, we run a salt-system to chlorinate our pool, and we added too much salt, so our pool is nearly as salty as the ocean! Only without the critters, of course.


~+~



I saw this picture on Facebook today..

It was taken by the creator of iCarly, Dan Schneider.



Happy Father's Day.

TapTapTapTapTap... Sigh

Nope, still haven't done a thing.


I'll might not post until July, since we're heading to the beach next week. Hopefully, having the sand between my toes and the wave's rush in my ear will give me some kind of inspiration.


Talk to you soon.

Pacing the Floor

I can't think of anything to do lately.

Well, more like I feel like doing nothing.

Not crocheting, reading, writing, play my guitar;


ANYTHING.




Gah.




I'll post again when something more exciting happens or I finally touch a crochet hook.

Already a Week?!?!

Boy, a week sure does fly by!

I've crocheting, cleaning, and most importantly, reading!


Last week, I told you about a book dare I decided to go on. I really liked the Harry Potter book, so I decided to read the WHOLE series....

I just finished Deathly Hallows last night, and the series is juts flat-out awesome!!!!
It's ready to go back to the library, with Goblet of Fire and Half-Blood Prince!



But, let's get on with other things...

Last weekend, I went with Momma, my Uncle and Aunt to check out some of the antique shops in Asheboro. I saw some cool crocheted stuff, but one thing caught my eye:


This picture just doesn't do it any justice... it may be plastic, but I think it's beautiful! And a deal, I bought it for only $4.50!


I've been working on a new blanket, as to use up this yarn that was originally for a poncho!



And, yet still, more books!!!



Last night, IRT newest season premiered, and I have to say... Lisa looks awesome as a red-head! I wish that they had a picture of her with her new hair, but there isn't. =(




Well, talk to y'all soon.

Put Down That Book!!

That's what Momma said to me earlier...


So, I've been going to the library for a couple(probably more) weeks in row now, and I decided to go on a book dare, reading the first book of series I've been knocking;



Twilight and Harry Potter


The first Twilight book was bareable, though I hated just how much Bella thought of Edward. DISGUSTING.

Harry Potter, though, was really, really interesting. So, I'm reading the whole series now. Turns out, in my library, where the HP books are in hardback ONLY, the books get bigger and bigger with each installment.




....




YESH!!!!!



So, no crocheting has happened, though I've tried a bit of knitting.

It's waaaay too hot to work outside any. 90 degrees and predicted thunderstorm everyday this week, too.

Buuuuuut......

I got my EOG's doneee!

In thirty minutes, I might add.

It would take me a whole week in regular school. I love Homeschooling!

Talk to y'all soon.

Not Much Corcheting Lately

My crochet hook has been laying around lately while I read and work in the yard. Hopefully, I'll be able to show you pictures soon of our flower beds!

But, for now, you'll have to settle for some old photography.





(This one is my new desktop!)

Hello!

I did finish my other mysterious project!!!








Oh, you want to know what it is? Why didn't you say so!!!


This isn't quite a good picture, but It's a bathing suit cover.

Most expensive project I've ever done.



When I needed that extra ball of yarn, I decided to buy it online. And I was impatient, so I bought 2-day shipping. The shipping cost me $15. The whole thing totaled to about $30. Garh.


Lesson well learned.

My NEW Lamp

I finally finished my mystery project last week!

A cover for my new lampp!!

I think it looks great.

That's what the new thread was for. I also dug out some old 'bead jewels' that I used to collect.


And I'm working on a new project, too. It's being made with cotton yarn, and I believe that I'm out of yarn for the rest of the project...

ORDERING TIIIIIMEEEE!!!!

Today, Daddy & I watched some "Mystery Science Theater 3000" on Netflix. IT's HILARIOUS. I'm wondering why they took it off air. We watched the one when they did the commentary on the 'horror' movie called "The Killer Shrews". HILARIOUS.

Well, I better go dig out $20 and order some yarn. =)
