I have finally taken a picture of my OSW, though I'm afraid it doesn't show it off very well since I was playing with my new (somewhat silly) hat. I generally like hats, but always feel weird wearing them. Especially this one. I need to be more adventurous, methinks. So here goes:
During my office hours (always painfully long and boring), I have been working on a little bird. I am stitching him onto an American Apparel T shirt. I have never done this before, so I'm not entirely sure how it will come out. I was planning on using one of the Sublime Stitches iron ons, but I thought this looked cuter. I think that stitching through the stabilizer will make it a bit looser, but since it is on a stretchy T anyhow, hopefully that will be ok. We'll see... Hopefully I can finish it at work tonight.
I got all those sparkly little beads in the mail the other day and so, last night, I made this little set. I really dig the red and aqua together. There was also another pair of earrings that I sold to Bree! She is my first customer since my 6th grade friendship bracelet making business, Friendship Inc. Neat-O!! I hope she likes them very very much and wears them until they fuse with her skin and she can never take them off again. Wouldn't that be cool? I thought so. So again, thanks Bree!
Also, I finally finished an Xmas sweater for my mom. She is always cold, even in Virginia, so I made it from extra-bulky wool from Handpainted Wool. I have a little left over, so maybe I'll make a hat or a neckwarmer or both. The color is really gorgeous. Also, pagoda and shells . Pink/brown and blue/brown are hot on my color list right now. Also, why is it called Pagoda? How mysterious.
Thursdays are my days off, so today I got lots of stuff done: housework, homework, Kingdom of Loathing, as well as a new (and fantastic!) yoga video. I feel more limber already! I do have to go into work for a measly 2.25 hours tonight. Oh well, not like I had any plans. Tomorrow there is a talk by a prospective hire in the department. It looks pretty interesting. She does lots of work on music videos, and the talk is on Eternal Sunshine. Maybe we'll even go out for drinks afterwards. I wonder if Loring still has their 1/2 price deal for students...

Love the HAT. I love wearing hats, but feel strange as well. I feel everyone is staring at me, and they probably are.
The new beaded set is beautiful, as the sweater for your mom is as well.
Love your site.
