Go West Young Woman

so it's definite, i'm going to california. on a positive note, i was just given friday off as well. i could stay the extra day, but i really need to get back to work on the apartment.

this weekend was a busy one. i finally finished the va-va-voom tank. i had a hell of a time with the straps and the cross over thingy. i made the mistake of not reading all of the instructions through in detail right from the beginning so i ended up having to frog twice. i still need to steam it and sew the yarn ends in a little better. then it'll be ready to go. i'm not crazy about the strappy things, on the other hand, without the straps i think it's a pretty good basic v-neck tank design.

i did finally receive my charlotte's web a few days ago. the colors are a little more muted in person than they are in the picture and i'm still trying to figure out how i should order the colors. i read over the instructions thoroughly and practiced the lace pattern with scrap yarn, so i think i'm ready to go. did anyone else have trouble understanding the instructions? i thought they were a little wonky.

i did a little shopping too. i went to Target and bought a pair of fake birkenstocks for 12.98. they're actually cute in an ugly sort of way. i may have to get real pair when these wear out. i have to say though, that i'm always psyched when i find a pair of cheap shoes that fit my big ass feet.

ok this post is officially boring. i really need to start posting pictures up again.
