Curls

I just curled my hair because I want to do it tomorrow, but that means I have to get up earlier so I wanted to see if I could do it tonight. And I love my curls so I felt like posting a picture of my curls from last summer and my curls from tonight. =D

TICKETS!!!!!

I got my tickets for Sunday today!!!!! And since I'm pretty sure I haven't mentioned anything about it.....I'm going on a trip with TROUPE on Sunday to go see Eurydice and Legally Blonde the Musical. YAY! I'm extremely excited!!! Anyway the point is I got my tickets today and I'm simply bursting with joy!!! Also even though I certainly love the music from 50's/60's more I have been working on a 80's piece with my voice teacher, it's called "Lost in Your Eyes" by Debbie Gibson. I don't like a lot of music from the 80's, but this song is really sweet. (I would suggest going here if you have any interest in seeing/listening to it 'cause it's totally awesome)

Red, Red and More Red (or Happy Valentines Day)

Well it just so happens that my last three knitting projects are all red, so I think it's kinda neat to post them all on Valentines Day. I made some slippers when I was staying at my parent's friend's house, I also made a hat I finished about half of it during Comedy Tonight, and then yesterday I finished some little baby booties for some people at my church who are having a baby. (there's going to be a small baby shower tomorrow) On the subject of the baby booties yesterday I went to see a show at TROUPE called "Frankly Sinatra" so it was a collection of Frank Sinatra's songs. I wasn't in the show because the only people in the show were TROUPE's director and a friend of his. Anyway the way it related to the baby booties is that I finished the second one while I was watching the show. Then more on the baby booties today I went shopping for baby shower presents while some of the girls from my church and I picked out this adorably CUTE duck. Do you know the stuffed animals where you can learn to tie bows, button and un-button stuff, fasten belts, etc. well that was the type of toy my duck was. I just love when stuffed animals are wearing raincoats and so that's why I picked it out when I realized it was also what it is that just made it cooler. (and that duck is wearing the booties I made, cute right?)

Comedy Tonight

I had my last performance of "Comedy Tonight" tonight (wow that sounds repetitive). "Comedy Tonight" was a bunch of random funny scenes, some musical parody and some improv scenes all together in one show. What was really awesome about this show was the kids got to direct, costume and handle props for all the scenes! I costumed two scenes "A Peculiar Bridge Game" (old lady costumes) and "Slightly Exaggerated" (fancy dresses). I started with two parts and then a girl named Kierstin quit and I got a part as a British lady. What was bad about this show is everyone dropped like flies. At least half the cast got the flu! So, during intermission yesterday a girl named Susie got sick and left, so I ended up going on stage for "Slightly Exaggerated" with my script in hand and in one of my other costumes. Well today Susie was still sick, luckily I had memorized all the lines for that part and when I got there I picked out a fancy dress for my costume (I was the costumer for this scene). So I ended up with four parts (more parts than anyone else =D ). So clearly this show was CRAZY!!! I did have fun though. =D Well here's some pictures of me and my friends. =)

My Awesomely Cute Outfit!

I just HAD to post pictures of my cuuuuuuuuute outfit I wore today. I LOVE these new leggings/tights I got yesterday, I'm so happy my friend Anne talked me into buying them!!! =) I went to a rehearsal after church today for my upcoming TROUPE show "Comedy Tonight". I think I might have mentioned earlier that "Comedy Tonight" is a comedy variety show and that there are some people in TROUPE who do improv comedy who are also going to do that during the show. Anyway mostly I just put on jeans and a t-shirt I like, but today I actually put together an "outfit" and I LOVE it!!!!! The first picture is more of my "outfit" and the second picture is a better picture of my legging/tights.

Mall Day

I was going to ask my friend Maggie if she wanted to go to the mall with me since I haven't seen her in FOREVER! (She goes to a private school and so she has loads of homework) But when I called her mom said she was talking to a friend from school. So I ended up asking my friend Anne if she wanted to go the mall with me and she did (she needed to look for a tennis skirt for our upcoming TROUPE show). We had a really fun time! I got a tank-top that I needed to wear under two of my costumes for the show, and I got so really cute, adorable, overpriced leggings. (we went into "Limited Too" to make fun of the clothes, but instead I ended up getting some over priced leggings (I just love them soooo much)) Oh yeah, and we got some smoothies! YUM! The only bad thing was we didn't end up finding a tennis skirt =(. But we had such a fun time we decided to try to go next month when we have some money to spend on clothes and ask our other friend Sarah to come. (especially 'cause we found out that there's a SUSHI PLACE in the food court and apparently we both love sushi) The other pic is my oat waffle from this really awesome breakfast place downtown. I love my waffle!!

Ethel

Ethel is the name of my new cowl that I made using the EDI Cowl pattern. I finished it today during an after church class thingy. The story behind a cowl named Ethel? Well, I'll just start with why I made Ethel. Last night I realized that the sweater I had been working on a couple months ago was simply hopeless (see picture 1). That blob in the picture was supposed to be the back of the sweater. Well it's obviously way too big! I mean I could rap it all the way around me! So, I unraveled my sweater (sadly might I add) then I was looking at some knitting patterns and I came across the EDI Cowl and I thought that the unraveled sweater yarn would be perfect. Now as for the name, I got the casting for my upcoming TROUPE show "Comedy Tonight" and I'm an old lady named Ethel in one scene. Plus I love Ethel Merman (HERO!) so hence the "Ethel Cowl".
