cupcakes, crochet, videogames

It's so nice that's it's not insanely warm anymore. It's just nice.. this is what spring is supposed to be. When the wind goes away, I'll be happy.

Yesterday I play tested an undisclosed game at EA, it was pretty fun.. and I got a free game! I've been wanting to try Sim City on the DS for awhile.. I played that for a bit last night. I just got through the tutorials when I decided I should get off my bed and at least pretend to do something that at least made me feel like i was being productive, like making cupcakes.

I made some easy vanilla cupcakes with vanilla buttercream frosting. Really easy to make, and delicious. I also added some red food coloring to make the frosting pink! Hurrah. Unfortunately I jumped the gun and frosted them too quickly..they were still tasty, delicious, amazing though. Just not aesthetically pleasing. Though, I think I'm the only one in my house who's eaten any..

Lastly, I got my Crochet Lites that I bought from eBay yesterday. My roommates like to watch a lot of movies, and usually they all prefer to watch in the dark.. then there's me who wants to "watch" the movie (ie, not sit in my room by myself), but also I need to be crocheting at the same time. Usually, we keep the light on and I'm happy, but they scowl a bit. It'll also be nice for bedtime, since my boyfriend passes out the second his head hits the pillow.. and crocheting would be perfect except for the light I'd need on. I'm not sure if this is borderline obsessive, or just plain cool. Either way, I'm so excited. I busted out the size 6.0 to work on my scarf last night.
Maybe a bit obsessive, as I got all the sizes, ranging from 2.5-6.5 in halves, plus 2 boxes of replacement batteries. The best part though? They totally look like mini-light sabers.

I could be on the death star right here, no?


So good, I've decided to make scarves all summer for xmas gifts (I'm going to be "that" person, I know, I know), in between Amigurumi projects. These are sure to come in handy. Here's a picture of a scarf I almost have finished, it's nothing fancy, but it's soooooo soft. mmmm..
I need to learn to take outdoor pictures of my crafts like the girls on Etsy, they look so much better than on a couch. I'm going to make this a bit wider, add some fringe, then store it for an xmas gift.. might be good for my sis?

Okay, lastly for real.. I got my Ravelry pin yesterday.
Yay! I wanted more from their store, but the things I really wanted sold out super fast. So, for now I can at least show a little love.

Ethan *just* mentioned he might have the opportunity to work in Boston for three months? Hmm.. not sure what I think about that yet.
