"diiirrrty souff"

Yeah, the dirty south! New Orleans, Louisiana here I come!! well in like 4 months. I have never been to the south of the US. I have been to the following states: California (duh, I live here), Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Utah, Montana, Arizona, Minnesota, Michigan, Indiana, Virginia, Maryland, Washington D.C., Hawaii, Illinois, and I think Ohio? So this coming November, I will have a layover in Texas (I count those states) and then spending the weekend in New Orleans for the ASHA Convention.


I am just excited to travel! I go between San Jose and San Diego all the time, but I haven't left the state in a while. I have more cross-stitching ideas and embroidery patterns. I really need to get a project done for my grandpa. I should get on that!

Time to stop procrastninating and get my homework done. Until next time...

Another subversive inspiration!

Alright, so I should be preparing for clinic. Instead, I made this:

I was inspired by the phrase "I fudged it up" and by the movie The Hangover in which Alan states, "I fudged up guys" in reference to accidentally drugging his friends. Whoops!

I just love the Popsicle, I designed the pattern myself!!! Down to the little droplet of melting fudge. Yum.

Now what should I do with it? Too weird a shape for a frame, bookmark maybe?

Homemade Subversive Cross-Stitch

I told you I had a project in the works that might be, well...kinda gross! It makes me giggle every time I look at it. I was inspired by Subversive Cross-stitches blog/flickr account. I love looking at the absurd, rude and creative things that people make into cross-stitch! I had to make one!

Here is it:
Step 1. Find an amusing quote. This is a quote from SouthPark that my boyfriend and his friends say all the time. It never ceases to make me laugh.
Step 2. Design your pattern. Yes, I designed this pattern myself by piecing bits of designs I liked together. Here it is in the beginning stages:

3. Finish your cross-stitch while laughing because you have made something totally ridiculous. At at first glance, it looks pretty, but once you read it's not soo pretty after all! I made the butt design all by myself! :) So proud. HA! HA!

lightbulb!

Oh the "freedom" of summer has finally inspired me! I put "freedom" in quotes only because I am still in school :( But luckily only one class :)

So, I have been wanting to submit something to Subversive Cross-stitch's Flickr for a long time. But I wanted to come up with someone orignal. That site can be kinda dirty, vulgar, and inappropriate. That's why I love it, it's not what you would typically expect from home made crafts.

So what is this genious idea? Well I am not telling you yet. Here is a hint: My boyfriend and his friends got it from a comedian (i believe) they say it ALL the time. It could be hung on the door of your bathroom. Hahah.

It's going to be a quick and easy craft. Yet disgusting. I am soo sending to him when I am done. LOL's

Back in Action

Well hello! I am offically in summer mode! Although I am still enrolled in school, my unit load is only 3 for the summer! Hooray!

Here are some things I promised:
1>) I went down to San Diego, twice! I actually really enjoyed myself! I went to a wedding on the beach

2) My mom's artichokes are in bloom! I just had to test out my camera's zoom skills. I would say pretty good! I have a version of this as my wallpaper!

3.) Zach's birthday! I made this cake that is my all time favorite cake (and i typically really don't like cake) It's like a brownie cake! made with lots of chocolate!!!

4.) Crafting! I actually got some embroidery in! I bought a duvet cover for Zach's comforter and embroidered his initials!

As summer school settles down I should be crafting more! And I have a brand new camera, so I at least I can post pictures! Keep coming back!

Latest crafts

1) The very hungry clincian book I made for class-soon be uploaded
2) A gift for someone
3) That car I have been working on for like 2 years, well I am making a vow to finish it by fathers day so I can give it to my grandpa! let's see if I can do it!!

Crafting Epiphany

Finaly! I am crafty again! The best part is, it's homework! My professor informed our class that we had to make a visual of the assessment process for a client. My mom suggested an idea, and I totally ran with it! So far it's adorable and I am putting in far too much work on this for what it's worth. But does that really matter if I am having a blast doing it!? And I don't feel guilty spending lots of time because it is school related.

I am going to scan my project in once I am done...exciting!
