New Stuff.

I told you I got a new plush from MyPaperCrane! It is this adorable little guy, he is a sleepy mountain man...



he is yawning and adorable...

I did work on some new toys! They are fairies. They have wings on their backs too...



and



I like their little heart noses!

I am sad today because Ryan has decided to stop speaking to me. That is a good thing for both of us I am sure, but it still makes me sad. He was my best friend and the person who knew me best for a long time and I think it is unfortunate that we can't talk anymore. I do think it will be productive and also help healing. I hope he feels in the future that he can come to me and talk to me as friends.

Today I am doing a "working interview" with the company I am trying to work for. I am excited, it should be fun. I also have another interview before I find out if I will get hired. Tonight I am hoping to work a little on something secret. :D

I just want to Party all of the time...

Oh goodness...

I am up really early today, I am going to work! Temporarily that is.

Just today and tomorrow.

I am really looking forward to this weekend, a party Friday night, a trip to Gettysburg to see Heidi Kenney, and hopefully a bunch of goodtimes :D

Tonight, maybe just hanging out and some sewing if I get a chance, we will see.

Yesterday was good, I hung out with my best friends and got some cute ideas for something special. We will see how it turns out :P

Crazy sick..

Mini Lion for my shop, originally uploaded by laurensmashtoys.

So I am just getting over some sort of weird super bug. I am glad to be done with it. Sunday, I spent time over my friend's house and didn't watch the superbowl. It was nice. But right as I was leaving, her daughter told everyone individually that she puked. Then my friend said she wasn't feeling good either. Hmm weird, I said to myself.

Until the next day, when I was out and started to feel like total shit. I rushed home and when I got there I started to vomit every ten minutes for like 3 hours. It sucked. Then it was like every 1/2 hour until I finally fell asleep. All yesterday I felt super drained and horrible and achey but I managed to keep all the liquid I was drinking down. I slept all the day away hardly getting up out of the chair I had situated myself in. The night ended with me wanting ice cream and forcing myself in snow boots, pajama pants and a sweater to get in my car and drive to Dairy Queen for a Banana cream pie blizzard. It totally made me feel better. I listen to my body when it tells me it wants something. It mostly makes me feel better.

I will say that Monday before I vomited my guts out, I had a burrito(my previous sick craving) and I promise you that it will be a *long* time before I have another burrito. That is sad for so many reasons, but trust me, I don't want one for a long time.

Today I think I will attempt food and actually do something! Yay. :D

Ulitimate weekend productivity, originally uploaded by laurensmashtoys.

I totally rocked my sewing machine this weekend. I made a bunch of fun stuff for the shop and all that jazz. I am super excited.

Today is going to be fun, I am going to a show and also to try and get a job...I can't wait. really.

I am probably going to come home and sew some more, I have a few little things in mind right now. I am really loving the mini lions. They are less expensive and so sweet and little!

I am also going to make another tote and pouch combo, I have this tan courderoy, like a million yards I am going to use. I really love courderoy for some reason. It is the noise it makes I think.

I was also thinking about going to this yarn shop near here and getting some chunky yarn to make a scarf out of, I am really loving scarves right now. We'll see how it goes!!

Sugar isn't gross....Sugar is GREAT!!

Ahh...this weekend was definitely ULTIMATE. I had a super great wonderful time. Saturday was filled with great stuff:

Juno(I loved it for sure. It was super cute and touching),Driving around C-town, reading thrasher and slap(good old J-Fish), a little hair cut(a super good one I might add...Just look at that rad bang-style), hanging out at JoAnns(I learned the use of many fabrics that I hadn't thought of and also have been inspired to have jeans with gold thread for Cedar Point), margaritas and enchiladas, some crazy bands in Kent (at the old Screwy Louies, oh my god) and even French Toast(the best french toast ever). For real. Super awesome-ness.

Today I spent a bunch of time with my family of best friends. I learned that sugar is great and that Jackson is 6. (Jackson is Sydney's imaginary friend that lives at Africa in a blue house. He has a sister named Fagion)

I have some fun planned for tomorrow, good old appointment with a temp agency. This week is bound to be exciting and fun.

I made myself something...

my new tote bag, originally uploaded by laurensmashtoys.

I have been a crazy sweatshop lately. I really seem to be in a pretty good groove. My crazy Friday night last night involved me, the Alkaline Trio, and my sewing machine. It was seriously party time.

I made this bag for me the other day, I love being able to just whip up stuff when I need it. I really love this fabric, it is definitely my favorite. I need to get some more soon. It totally makes me want to make more stuff out of it. I also had some tree fabric and last night I made another bag out of it, a pouch to match it, a pouch out of super cute apple fabric, 2 dogs and a mini lion. The mini lion came out really great and I love it. I will put pictures up later. Right now all I want to do is make stuff. It makes me feel good. I know I keep saying that but whatever.

Right now I am looking forward to seeing Juno finally today, and next weekend I am going to make the haul out to Heidi Kenney's(my paper crane) show in Gettysburg. I am super stoked about this. I love being so close to stuff that I can just drive places whenever I want to. It is exciting.
