screen printed canvas yardage, made last semester

its over, martha stewart inc cancelled blueprint.
why does martha stewart always do this to her publicaitons?
i read in a press release last year that msinc wants to put more emphasis on the wedding sector of their magazine.
but why ruin such a good publication?

i went to see juno with my mom sunday night and i thought it was absolutely hilarious.
i have to buy it on dvd when it comes out.
on top of having on par humor for a subject that could easily become touchy, kimya dawson wrote alot of the songs on an already killer soundtrack. who knew the moldy peaches would be used as sound track music?
psh.
i started the gemma beret and i already think i have to frog it. i think now im going to knit it with two strands to give it a little heft, because the mohair blend is not cutting it on the thickness factor. man oh man. im excited for this, but ive forgotten how little give mohair has. bleck. well, at least the beret will be pretty when its done.
also, i have plans to make a double pointed needle case because my mom bought be a whole set practically of double points for christmas to add to my already sizable needle stash.

i went antiquing with my parents today. i love antiquing at good antique malls with them.
i got a super cute red plastic owl keychain that pops apart, a blue train case for my knitting needles and two pyrex princess mixing bowls that are PINK

there is what they look like.
i also bought some new yarn today. the knitting store didnt have the beroco alpaca wool blend i was looking for in the teal i wanted, so i bought some balls of a kid mohair blend in like a dark dove gray. im using a free pattern from rowan for a gemma beret. im excited!

I'm working like crazy to finish my finals by next week.
I also have 15 bags to sew from my printed cotton canvas by Wednesday.
Other than that I need to
+ print my last pattern for advanced screen printing
+ compile an entire, really nice looking political zine from contributions I have yet to recieve
+ write a 4 page paper about the place of zines in current society
+ write a 5 page paper on urban theory and re-read urban theorist to prepare for the short answer portion of my urbanism final
+ write a 3 page paper critically comparing two pieces of modern art- though I have yet to be assigned my image choices
+ pen an in-class paper on the film theory and criticism of horror movies
+ compile a fou press release packet of my work and other material for career development class

all that is due at various stages before the 17th... I fly home on the 18th, only to start working at the kitchen store again on the 21st... man, constant work.

oh yeah!
and im screen printing 8-10 t-shirts for christmas presents before i leave.
gosh. nose to the grindstone.
