Finished Project @ MindSay

Yay!  I finally finished my sweater that I have been working on for about 3-4 years.   To bad I can't wear it due to the temperatures being in the upper 80's :-p

Since I have finished that I started on an armwarmer project.  I'm already almost done with the first one and should hopefully have it done by this evening. I've always wanted a pair like this but had no idea on how to do it and could never find a pattern, well, I found one and I'm so happy.  My husband even gave me the idea of making a matching collar and socks as well! 

Ok I have finished and handed in one project.

I took my only final test (and I think I did alright)

And now I am working on my last project and endeavor of this semester. I have been working on it for about 6 hours straight and I am just doing finishing touches now. So that may be a few more hours. and then the process book. I may get some sleep and do that part in the morning. Or I will just stay up and do it. The project that I am doing is for my Flash class. We had to create an interactive collection. I chose my huge-ass family to be my collection. The project is made to show relationships between people, also it conveys the last time I saw a person. Also, if i couldn't remember someone's name, instead of finding out what their name is, I would make up a name for them by how I know them or remember them. So it is a collection that kind of says something about my family and how often I see people and stuff. yeah.

anywho, I went to the used book store the other day and got this great little book called "happiness is a warm puppy" by charles schultes. It is copyrighted 1962 so the paper is kind of yellowed and the typography is this really cool old fonts and stuff. I love it because I grew up reading Peanuts and it has all the peanuts characters.
for example
"Happiness is a chain of paper clips."
"Happiness is being able to reach the doorknob."
"Happiness is some black, orange, yellow, white, and pink jelly beans, but no green ones."

I ran out to the fabric store to get interfacing for the Sophia bag, and found flannel Disney fabric for Cars and Toy Story - the kid's two most favorite movies. So I bought some and figured I'd make him some pajama pants.

Once he saw them, he was super-excited, and made the decision that he wanted one leg of each rather than one pair the same.

In order to tell the front from the back, he suggested that we put in a tag, so there is a small green fleece "tag" in each. They are a little long, but he'll grow into them.

Super easy pattern. I think cutting and marking the pieces took longer than sewing them together.

PS:  You can also see he's standing on the completed guitar quilt.
