Back this spring, I made the dolls to this video! It's finally found a place on the internet, so, give it a look-see and tell me what you think!

Eco-Craftiness
I've been getting ready to go back to college... I can't believe that RIT is only 4 days away!
Anyway, I had a list of things I wanted a mile long, which doesn't really jive for me at the end of summer. At school, I have two jobs along with being a full-time student, so I don't have to worry about money (unless my Dad forgets to pay the tuition bill!)
Item number one: A magazine file. I desperately wanted something to put my knitting mags in. Last year I had a ton of problems with piles of magazines. The problem with buying a magazine file? A decent, interesting-looking one sells for over ten bucks!
So what's a teacher's daughter to do? I made my own out of a cardboard box I was going to recycle, water, flour, and a magazine that I saved from the RIT library's junk pile.
I think for my next file, I'm going to invest in a roll of duct tape to hold it all together at first. It's a little fragile, but I'm sure that'll clear up after it dries.
I also made some pretty sweet baskets out of old food boxes, fabric, and ribbon. Oh, and I covered jars that were going to be thrown away with scrap fabric so they can be used for storage. And I used some old cans to grow lavender and mint for my dorm room.
I'm excited to have a crafty dorm room! I'm also excited to be traveling with less.
I took the day off from my job today to go through my worldly possessions and decide what to take and what to leave behind. Now that it's my second year, I'm a little wiser to what I'll need in the Brick City. Four different jackets? No. Hydrocortozone cream and Tums? Yes, please!

Oh Hey, I Do This Thing Called Knitting Sometimes.
I am proud to present to you my first finished summer project. Potentially, it's my only finished summer project.
Today is the day of my boyfriend's driver's test, so everyone say a prayer, ok!? Not because only prayer can help him now, but because he gets so nervous. Thankfully these socks will be waiting for him, regardless of whether he passes or not.
Oh and they look big because they're not made for my feet. Duh.
Insomnia = Things get done.
