...So Updating...
Gosh things have been busy lately! I am between my two jobs right now so it is probably update time.
Matt and I are going to Chicago in hmmm...3 days? I so can't wait!! We are staying at this super cool looking hotel and will probably hit up a few museums since they have some free days when we are going. But mainly we are going there to go to Lush and spend my $50 gift card from Matt. I am just excited to be able to have 3 days to spend with him, since lately it is mostly that we see each other for a little, then one of us has to go to work.
So other than that nothing much fun or exciting is going on!
I finished up most of my crafting for the current craftster swap I'm in. It all looks so good!!! I'll post photos on the craft blog and try to cross post them here too. **Spoiler alert for my swap partner!!! (if you read this don't scroll down!!)***
For the swap, which is reading themed, I made these ultra cool book ends using old mystery novels (the covers are so cool looking!!), and also made a Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy blinged out booklight. It is amazing. I also knit my partner a cute tote bag for hauling around library books, and made a little reusable list thing so she can store her library card with her current books to read list.
So, it seems like I've really done a good job on this one, it makes me really happy!!! Although I am sad to say goodbye to the bookends, because I really like how they turned out!!! But that means my partner will probably love them too.
Well, I should be going to Barnes soon, so that's about it!
