So wow...it's one of those deep questions. Is a blog really a blog if the blogger doesnt frequently post blogs? Will have to think on that one for a bit.
The last post was written in February...with snow on the ground and cold, cold misery in the air. But, temperatures have warmed, and life is now good! Except for that humidity. But whatevs, i'll take this weather any day over snow & chattery teeth.
The spring semester wound to a close in early May, thank goodness! Now we can put microbiology behind us & concentrate on getting into a good school. Hopefully one of them will take me...or both! Should know by the end of july/first week of august...any & all good vibes sent this way would be stellar!
Not long after the semester wound down, I met my mom, grandma & aunts & cousins in Rocheport for a girls weekend. It was SO much fun! We all had a great time, and while I knew I was related to amazing women, this weekend just reinforced that feeling. We rented a house & while we were there went walking on the Katy trail, went antiquing around town, took a cooking class, and had a tasting & dinner at the winery up the road. I HIGHLY recommend such a trip. We had a great time. You know, except for that a/c that broke. Details, details.
Hmm...what else? Weeelll...I've been thoroughly enjoying my summer break from school by being as crafty as i can! So far I have made NINE reversible aprons from this pattern. Here they are being modeled by some very lovely women...well, you can sort of see them...but everyone got a different apron made from some very cute cotton fabric (if i do say so myself!). Can you see me being a cheeseball in the background? Guess this is what a night of making aprons with zero sleep will turn a person into. :)

About a week ago we hosted a baby/bridal shower at our apartment for some girls I work with (one was getting married, a different one having a baby), and I promptly got to work on a baby afghan after finishing up the supercute aprons.
Unfortunately I'm a fun hater & have no pictures for you of the afghan...but it was pink & brown & white, and just all around soft & cushy & wonderful. It even had baby pink fleece binding on the sides to cover up the color changes. CUTE! Aside from the recipient being a July baby & thus not so much in need of warmth, I'm hoping it will be a keepsake for her.
After finishing up the baby afghan, i decided to make a SECOND baby afghan! Crazy, right? Nah. So this one is pink & light green & white. Supercute too. I dont have a picture for you yet b/c my camera is dead, but I will post one soon. And by soon I mean sooner than Halloween. :) And btw...this second baby afghan is NOT for me. Or for an offspring of mine (which i have none). Or for an offspring which we are expecting (which we are NOT). While I do have baby fever & readily admit to it...the sometimes blogger of this here blog is not about to be a babymomma just yet. :) Side story...this weekend i was showing my grandma my progress on the afghan & she asked me with a twinkle in her eye in ever just so the right tone of voice..."and...so who might this blanket be for?" Hehe...sorry, not so fast...unless than whole nursing school thing doesnt pan out. Then maybe. Ask JN.
So ANYway. I guess I've been going through craft withdrawal b/c i have crammed more craftiness into the last month and a half than even martha stewart herself could shake a beautifully hand-painted self carved stick at. Oh yeah, i forgot...i altered some clothes in there too. Details.
So...if anyone is out there still reading...please tell me i'm not the only crafty crafterson out there...what are you working on for your summer projects?
smooches!
