Here it is! Please excuse the ridiculousness of the pictures...
Not gonna lie- altering the pattern to make it two-tone was a pain in the butt.
I'm pretty happy with it. :)

Time to Update!
Here come multiple short posts about my life lately. I hope you enjoy.
#1: The Elora Blanket.
I made this blanket for my friend's baby girl, Elora Jane. She came to this world and left on the same day; a perfect, beautiful little girl. This blanket was made in honor of her, and I'm really only posting this because my mom and sister wanted to see it. It's my first "real" (not tied) quilt; it looks good, but I definitely need more practice.

Catch-up Day! What I've Been Up To
Hello my long-lost blog-reading friends!
I haven't posted in so long that I will try to use lots of short paragraphs so as not to overwhelm you with text.
In the end of August I got a second job working at JoAnn's. As you may have read, I was sometimes working up to 55 hours a week, and thought I was going to die. After wondering whether I should quit one of my jobs, and trying to decide which would go, I ended up telling my boss at JoAnn's that I can't work more than 8 hours a week.
That way I get to stay with my friends at Allen's, but also get to keep my foot in the door at JoAnn's- and get to keep my discount, which is a huge plus.
In my new-found less busy schedule (it was only super busy for about a month, but it was killer), I have been doing some more crafts!
I made an adorable (if I may say so myself) shirt for my littlest niece for Halloween... pictures to come once my sister sends me one. I can't believe I forgot to take one!
I also made this blanket for my friend's baby, due to come any day now! She's a complete Texas cowgirl, and his nursery is western-themed, so I thought the horses fit. (Remember that fabric, Jessie? Thanks!)
I also made this necklace for my little sister for her birthday. I haven't given it to her yet, so she might find out about it from this. Oh well. Happy birthday Leah!!
I think I'm going to make more in all different shapes, and sell them.
Also, I've been reading again. Always love me some Dean Koontz, and I'm currently in Deerskin by Robin McKinley. It's the retelling of an old french fairytale (thanks, Wiki) that never made it to Disney due to its somewhat disturbing content. :) But I recommend it.
Last night Nate and I joined with the wardies to watch the old Audrey Hepburn movie "Wait Until Dark." It's SO good! I saw it years ago with some girlfriends, and have been wanting to see it again since. If you need a suspenseful-and-not-actually-really-scary movie for Halloween, watch it!

You have GOT to be kidding me.

I do not approve.
In other news, I finished one of my projects!

Being Crafty
Since I'm done with school... I've decided to use some of my free time to work on my domestic skills. The first thing I did was go get some supplies to make something Spring-y for my little house. It rained/sleeted all through the end of April, and I wanted something to remind me that it would be sunny again soon! (Unfortunately it's still rainy, and it's May! Time for some warmth, Utah!)
I spent way too long searching for things at Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft (gotta love her, right?), digging through the fake flowers, trying to find bright colors and varied sizes that would look good together, all the while trying not to spend too much on a simple decoration. Thank goodness for 50% off deals!

I decided to make a wreath. My mom used to make them all the time, and I wanted to do a small one for our front door. But then I found a nifty half-sphere Styrofoam thing that was cheaper than a wreath, so I went with that instead. I'll spare the details, cause it's pretty straight forward and I didn't take any in-progress pics, but here is what I came up with- I really like it!
I'm working on a couple other projects too, here's a sneak peek:
