I love my sewing machine.
I really do.
(even though it has made me cry. twice).
Anywho, my dad took me shopping yesterday and we spent $46 on fabric and sewing supplies.
So far, I have made two little zipper pouches. My mom was impressed. She said it is hard to put zippers in. I will list them next month. You will like them. I made a kitty cat one and an owl one. I still have two other kinds of fabric, but I only bought 3 zippers, so you do the math on that.

Also, Ryan and I went house shopping again.
We bought a knife set (with wooden block), teaspoons, metal measuring cups, a wisk (it's green!), 5 cups, corn on the cob holder things, a bamboo cutting board, some cookin utensils, and some mixing bowls.
I love grocery outlet. I want to marry them.

By the way, I am having a sale. You name the price and the best offer wins :)
I haven't had any offers yet, so whoever asks first will probably get whatever they want.
The offers have to be reasonable though.

Oh! My friend Lindsey is having a sale too! I absolutely LOVE her shop! She has so many nice things! (Pretty good prices too!)
She just had her 101st sale (congrats!)
Anyway, her sale is free shipping to everywhere thru December 31st.
She's a 22 year old art student. She is currently attending OCAD (in Canada, not Oregon).
Here's her shop thingy:
Etsy
Buy Handmade
memorycollector

She is a really nice person! She inspired me to start up a shop back in February.

Anyway, that's all for now!

So, a lot has been going on.
I passed all of my finals and I have A's in my US Gov't, Sci-fi, Ceramics, Photography, and TA classes (I got received a B in trig/pre-calc).
As you know I have been accepted to the University of Nevada-Reno!
However, my shot record was not kept properly at the cheap doctors office I used to go to, so they never recorded that I got a Tetnas shot back in 2005, so I have to get another one before I start school again in the Fall.
I decided that I am going to major in History. I have no clue what kind of job I'll be getting with that, but I'm used to being a poor kid so it will work out.
Ryan and I started buying stuff now that we know we are definately moving to Reno in the summer.
So far we have:
a toothbrush holder (I made it in ceramics).
plates and mugs
a measuring cup
a 2010 kitten calendar
silverware (it's really nice)
paper towel holder
15 dish rags
a desk
3 pots
1 skillet
lamps (my mom said she would give me the two she doesn't like).
and a Hello Kitty toaster that my mommy bought for me for Christmas.
We have other things too (like tv's and computers and stuff) but I need some more stuff.
My mom also said that she would give me $500 when she does her taxes. :)

My friend Anthony is moving back from Washington so he can move in with us when Ryan and I move to Reno. I have a great plan too. I will "live" at the dorms and at home with Anthony and Ryan. I will have some stuff at UNR and pay for living there so I can get the dorm perks like free internet and a meal plan and I will have everything else at the apartment. It is a grand plan.

Anyway, I'm really excited. I talked my mom into getting me a cat for my graduation present. She is helping me find a home for the guinea pigs (they are going to a nice gay couple. One of them works at the pet store too!)

Oh, about the shop, I really want a lot of my inventory gone ASAP. It's not that I want to close it down, it's just that with so much going on it would be easier to not have to worry about getting packages out right away like I usually do. So if you want anything from my shop, just email me (xohellogoodbyexo[at]gmail.com) or comment me and we can work something out. I usually go for any type of trade and I do bargins.
I also listed some prints in a new section. Ryan has been getting a lot better at painting. They look incredible. I'm currently talking him into taking a another trip to kinkos to make prints to sell.

Anyway, I have to start cleaning the house. By the end of Christmas vacation I will make sure to post at least one picture of my room.
Hectic life = too busy for everything.

Maybe after I clean I will play video games.
That sounds really nice :)

Ryan got new glasses by the way....
