Well, E-Con starts tomorrow, and thus begins another chapter in "let's see if we can sell stuff we made"... :) I've got dice bags and bookmarks, and I think they'll do alright. Hopefully the rest of my friends will do well also. :)

I finally figured out basketweave stitch in crochet last night. It's not so much a stitch as a stitch pattern. Unfortunately, the pattern I was working from was flawed, so my first few tries were coming out wonky. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong, and then figured out that the pattern was wrong, so I have it figured out now. It's a pretty kewl pattern, in my opinion. And, well, you can never have too many dishrags... :)

I have a couple of projects that I need to finish, and then I think I'm done with anything that I NEED to make for a while. I've got a few things printed out that I'd like to try, though... I really want fuzzy flip flops, and even bought new flip flops just for that purpose... :) Hopefully they'll turn out cute and comfy, as they appear to be in all the pictures I've seen... :)

In other news, I bought a cheap digicam last night, so I can take pictures and put them straight onto my computer now. The transferring the pictures is easy; I'm still getting the hang of how this camera works. It seems to do well with longer shots, but not too good with close-ups. And by close-ups, I mean anything within arms reach. I always try to take pictures of myself, but they never come out like they should. I think part of the problem is the flash being too bright at that range, so I may have to just turn off the flash for close-ups... :)

And in other other news, I'm loving the weather right now. I wore shorts and a tank top after work last night. Gloriousness! :)

(And yeah, I realize that in a few short weeks, I'll be complaining about the heat, and wishing for fall. But for now, I will revel in the glory that is spring... :) )
