Ah man did I have a great couple of days. On Wednesday Paula e-mailed me a "hey, hey, what's up, you should come to this thing and we should meet." I glanced at Ali's post earlier this week, but didn't think much of it, because you know, I'm too scared to go anywhere alone. Turns out Sue shared my feelings and we headed south. I had so much fun. It was super low key, fun, and hey I made something!
Based on Ali's idea (oh and I see she put it up on her blog so check it out). I'll show you more when I finish it up. I bought another kit while I was there (a coco daisy kit) I think the October kit and used that too. I totally need to shave my choices down when I'm working on a project because it was so much easier to get going with less to choose from. But I don't know if that declaration is going to get me to stop buying pattern paper. Me loves the pattern paper. Oh and also fabric. I want to order this (and fifty million others). But I digress.
I went to Portland to pick up these:
Remember back in November when I got the prescription? I finally found plastic frames that fit me. Although that is not an allusion, they had to seriously bend them because the space from my temple to ear is so short. Mariko at Super Eggplant was right, A Couple of Eyes was the perfect place to look. The asian styles fit my face so much better. These are by a Japanese designer called Kio Yamato. 
Oh and I finished my top down hat (from my handspun), so easy. Still made it too big, I really doubted the pattern and didn't think there were enough increases, I was wrong and hope that Bj will wear this. I'll have another go at it. Oh and remember:
It's a secret that I wear glasses!!!
Hmm I went to Portland, so I had to see V!
She likes the jacket. Well after we showed her the mirror and said, "you're so pretty, ohhhh so fancy, so pretty, look at your pretty jacket." Then she stopped squirming and wore it for the day. Well she didn't stop squirming
But she forgot about the sweater.
Favorite shot of the day:
Such a lucky girl, with such happy loving parents. So glad I get to be a part of her life. I love my wee little god-daughter. Even though she grows out of everything in a couple of days!
P.S. I miss Bones. Maybe random, but a repeat came on tonight and I wanted to cry, we still have months to wait, boo hoo.
