onesie.

i lazed today, which makes this friday, um, exactly like every other day since the excavation ended.  i read a tad for class, perhaps finalized a group meeting for a class project, and finally made it to a fabric store, where i got some supplies to finish off my crafting bonanza for the baby shower tomorrow.  let me just say, despite the fact that having a child right now would be a horrible idea, baby accoutrements are adorable and i can't wait until i can craft them for myself (my kids.  i meant my kids.).

this here was part of today's project:

apparently, i am the mayor of horrible photo town.  a close-up:

i'm a little bit in love with this, especially because i only really planned for the tiny, solid circle to look like an eye and instead, the pattern worked as the trunk and the ear as well, which i think is totally super awesome.  i also want to make myself something with this little elephant* on it.  tote bag?  kitchen towel?  patch over the hole in the seat of my most favorite jeans ever that i can no longer wear without feeling like a prostitute?  or, maybe i could just make another onesie and hoard it until i have children light years from now.  that wouldn't be weird, right?  that's like a completely normal human thing to do, i'm sure.

*just for the record, i obviously didn't draw this elephant.  i can barely hold a pencil.  luke sketched it out for me, and it was perfect the first time and i was really jealous and sad.  however, he doesn't know how to make baby cocoons or use fabric transfer paper**, so i win.

**i will feel really silly about declaring this if everyone in the world thinks my crafting looks like a five-year-old did it with their non-dominant hand, but i like to think of myself as a professional layman.  what i mean by this is that i am not particularly good at any arts and/or crafts, but what i am good at is figuring out how to make something decent and moderately attractive with my limited skill set (namely, being able to cut out traced objects and knit and purl on a loom.  yes.  a loom.  it has come to that.)  i'm very proud of that.  those who can't do...spend hours on the internet searching for ways to make people think that they can.
