Wool socks in June

I've finished another pair of socks for James. Summer has just began but James finds they are perfectly wearable regardless. Plus they go well with his new boat shoes.

happiness and cheer




I made this pom pom wreath using Miss James's tutorial



I've very much been in the Christmas spirit. I love listening to the old Christmas classics like Bing Crosby but I must say my favorite Christmas songs are those sang by Harry Connick Jr.

Being envious of the wikstenmade office (they're listening to Christmas music - how cozy)

life

Between school and work (two jobs now) I have barely managed to have a life. My apartment has been a complete mess and I am desperate to see some close friends that I have sadly neglected in the chaos.

Let me tell you, I have harbored some animosity in regards to school and it's takeover of my life. However, this morning I was suprised to find myself enjoying a quiet little moment at the Student Union with a cup of coffee and I nice view of midtown.


Speaking of school, here are some photos I took for my photography class. I developed the negatives and enlarged the prints myself. A new skill I'm learning and really enjoying.

C41

Still enjoying the joys of film. This time I used Kodak B&W 400 C41 film. These are pictures from my uncle's 40th birthday party.

Also found this picture via DAYDREAM LILY. I want to grow my hair out to look like the girl on the left. My hair is similar to that but only a couple inches past my shoulders. I'd need it to grow 4 more!

experimenting with film

I've always been afraid to use film cameras because in the past every time I tried to load film I wouldn't do it right and the film would end up getting exposed. Well I decided that instead of living in fear I'd take a photography class at UMKC.

My friend Colin graciously allowed me to borrow his Nikon hard body camera. Not sure about model. There are a lot of problems with these but at least they aren't all terrible!

I also drew/painted/collaged something on the remains of a pizza box for my friends Sarah and Colin who recently moved into an apartment together and requested some art work. it still needs to be cropped down to a smaller size.
