I got a new Guide Shirt today when mom and I went to the Guide Shop. I bought the badges that the girls needed because we have been busy, that's for sure. I then tried on a couple shirts. I decided on the short sleeved version rather than the long sleeve version because I have my Area hoodie that I always wear, and when I wont be wearing it, it will be the summer, hence, I need cool. Made sense to me. Problem was, I tried on the 8 and it was tight in the shoulders and a little short. They only had a ten in the long sleeve, which fit well (and was even long enough in the arms for me) but it was long sleeve. I tried on the 12 in the short sleeve, and even though it was a bit baggy on me, I got it because my last shirt (a short sleeved polo) shrank to pretty much nothingness. It's now far too short to be worn alone, and I can't always get away with wearing a shirt underneath it. I hope that this new shirt will shrink widthwise rather than lengthwise because the length is great, but the width is a little much. I'm happy with it though, it looks teh awesome.

I'm taking the elastic out of my Guide pants waist, because although the pants themselves have about a 32 inch waste, the elastic is only about 18 inches when unstretched. This makes them fairly uncomfortable. Here's the deal. The elastic is serged into hem of the waste. I have to take it all out, remove the elastic, and sew it all up again. That's okay, that's what sewing machines were made for, right?

62. She's Stuffed

I stuffed the Hedgehog today. I need to get out and buy some more fun fur or eyelash yarn. I never EVER thought I'd say that. I want to make more of these guys. I showed both mom and dad, and you know that something is good when my dad starts giggling. Ever watched Mythbusters? You know when Jamie starts giggling is awesome. Well, it goes the same for my dad. He even has the mustache to boot. Mom tried to keep her until I said that it was my cousin's birthday present. Oh, and the party, is a Tap Dancing party at one of the local dance studios. The guys are supposed to wear white shirts, and the girls are to wear "clickety-clackety shoes". I'm actually kind of excited. Last year we had it at a day care where they have an indoor climbing gym. Think about your favorite school yard playground, but INSIDE. It was awesome. That was also when I decided to jump through hoops: Hoola Hoops.

The weather was quite gross today, so I stayed home (for the most part) and caught up on my laundry. I did two loads, putting the hedgehog in with both of them and also doing some hand felting between loads. It didn't felt up as nice as I would have liked, but it's a good solid fabric, and there are (barely) any holes. Just a couple where I was picking up stitches, it wont take much to close them though. I do still need to pick up eyes and a nose for him, but I might be able to do that on Friday... I hope.

-Cheers folks.

60. But when will I finish?

I picked up a pattern from The Loop for Fiber Trends' Huggable Hedgehogs a while back, but I hadn't cast on..... until yesterday. Well I finished it today, it just needs to be felted now. I'll be doing a load of laundry tomorrow, so I should felt it then, but whether or not I'll remember is another story all together. I think it's going to be cute, it will end up being my little cousin's birthday present. She'll be 4, and she loves pink, so I figure this will be a good gift.

I'm trying to find music for the latest episode of Lime & Violet and I'm having no luck whatsoever. It's killing me. I'll either find something that is promising, but then the vocals come in and I hate it, or I find something pretty good but the quality is horrible. Argh, I usually don't have this problem. -Wait.... I think I found something. Wewt!

-Cheers folks.

Amendment

So, I posted a while ago on 50. My Job that isn't a job that we had about 5000 listeners, well I was WRONG. I just got a voicemail from MissViolet (long story about the voice mail, I'll get into it later when I don't have a BILLION things I'm supposed to be doing other than blogging), we have 28,945 listeners. I was wrong. But ZOMG WTF. *blink blink*

Awesome. LOVE.

-Cheers folks!
