I'm Done!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am finally done with all of my classes for the summer. I will finally have time to do some things for myself. Now I will be able to get more things on my Etsy site. It has been awhile since I have added anything to my page. I hope that this summer I will be able to make enough money for school next year. I also want to catch up on some of my reading because I have not had a chance to read anything but textbooks for a long time. It is really going to be nice to be able to focus on something other than school for awhile.

Finished Socks

I finally finished this pair of socks, it seems that I have been working on these forever. I am really glad to have finished them, yet the day after I finished them it got too hot to wear them. It went from 40 degrees to 70 degrees and it has been staying warm. I'm not complaining that it is warm but I really wanted to wear my socks.
Unfortunately lately I have had to deal with a sick dog. Sophie has not been able to keep anything down. She has taken to taking over my bed
I can't stand to see her sick because she can really look pathetic even when she is not sick but when she is sick but now it is really hard to look at her.

Two weeks to go

I only have two more weeks of school and I am so excited because I am getting so burnt out with all of my work. It really didn't seem like a lot of work to me until a couple of weeks ago and all of a sudden it seemed as though I had more things that usual due but I really didn't. I just can't wait until I have time again to do things for myself and to add new things to my Etsy store. I have not been able to add anything new to my store in a couple of weeks. I am planning on adding some definite summer things to the shop including some crocheted bikini tops. I refuse to make crocheted bikini bottoms because there are so few people who look good in them and I don't want to contribute to having to see someone in a string bikini who should not be wearing one.
