Embroidery

Lately I too have gotten really into embroidery. It started with an article from "Bust" magazine, and then I just went crazy from there. I embroidered my initials on my GSC jacket, and I am in the process of embroidering a whole bunch of other things (Elvis, a skeleton, peas, a bug-person playing a trumpet, etc.). Here is a scan of the first pillow case I made:

And here are some photos of the second pillow case I am making which will say "ten more minutes" in a font that looks way cooler than it does in thes photo:

Me and Megan were also just having a really fun time taking these. WA house forever!

Update: here are two pictures of the text I plan to embroider on two other pillow cases:

DATE

So last week I asked a boy (with whom I have been hangin' regularly) on a date via campus mail note.
And his response:

Great News!!

I talked to Kaaren Williamsen on Wednesday. The GSC found extra student work dollars and I was hired to work there 4 hours a week! Training starts the day I get back (September 3) except I won't be home in time to start then. Sad face. But I got a reader from Kaaren full of really interesting articles to read before training on Friday. I already got started on the train yesterday (but more on that later).

This is especially great news because had I been offered the job in the spring, I wouldn't have been able to keep my job at the Cave. But now I can do both! I can do it all! This is wonderful and I am ecstatic. Here is a photo of me doing a heel click of joy:
