| The bag slippers |
[Jan. 9th, 2008|10:47 pm] |
This was most likely the easiest thing ever made. Any stitch can be used and any gauge,needle or yarn. This could be done in knit or crochet. Great as a stash buster.
If you want a guideline for making these here it is:
These slippers are made by making 2 matching rectangles, seaming the sides and adding a row for lacing them up.
I was making it for "The boy" and his shoe is a size 4. That is about 9 inches. Added an inch to the length.(In this case 10 inches long.) The width can depend on how loose you want them, but never shorter than the length of your foot (ie:foot is 9 inches long slipper will be 9 inches wide)
Made the pattern that I wanted, for this one the entire slipper was in a ribbing stitch, and then seamed the sides. Starting at the back of the newly formed "bag" attached yarn and stitched 2 stitches and then 2 spaces. Continued this all the way around the slipper joining and finishing off.
Ribbon or braided yarn can be used for the string to lace through the top of the bag, I did a length of finger crochet for these ones. Pom Poms or other endings for your strings would be optional as well.
These would make a great and easy project to make up a bunch to have on hand in different sizes. Perhaps if you have cold floors for your guests to each have a handmade gift they can take home with them after visiting and you have the ability to get rid of your stash as well.

So I haven't posted to my journal in a couple months and in that time a lot of useless crap has happened.
I started another job and before 2 months in I was in the hospital and have been off work for almost 3 weeks. I had another interview with a really sweet job even tho it was going to be contract but now i haven't heard anything from them.
I have the house up for private sale. I have had 2 bites. Only one has continued with interest but now they are offering too little.
I am going to end up staying in this house and not having a bedroom and being an hour away from any decent work.
I am getting so disgusted with it all. It seems like even when something might go well for us ( like the potential sweet job) we get kicked down for even thinking it could.
I don't think it is too much to ask to be able to have a bedroom.
I don't think it is too much to ask to have work that doesn't put me in the hospital.
2 simple requests. That is too much?!?!?
I am stressed out beyond belief. It also seems that workers comp is willing to pay for my medical treatment and medication but not for any missed time at work.
So that means that we are down one very much needed income to this house. A house that I might add is too small for our family. |

Well I was given my letter ... R ....
This was hard only that I had so many songs that I listen to that have the first letter of the name of the song being R
so I had to chose the 5 that I listen to the most. But there were so many good songs that I didn't list like songs by Scooter and Staind and The Clash
Here is my mini list:
Revelutions - Dimrain47
Rocket Collecting - Danny Lohner&Milla
River's of Babylon - Jimmy Cliff
Royal Oil - Mighty Mighty Bosstones
Resurrection - Moist
Fun stuff... and _caecus_ thought that he had a scitzo list... |

Well it has been about 3 weeks of this slump
I would really like it to end. Problem is that I don't know what is bothering me so I don't know how to make it end.
Thought that when the girl came home it would feel better. Chris says that I seem to be constantly on edge.
Even when we went to his mother's it seemed like I was being aggressive towards everything.
I hate this.
I just want to feel right again
Maybe it is the house and work but i don't think so . If it was the house then trying to make it look right would make it better. Right now i can't even get the motivation up to do the dishes let alone try and make this house look like it isn't some small shack.
Problem is that it feels like a shack. There isn't enough room for everyone in it and with the couch out for sleeping ... that takes up the entire livingroom so all that is left of the downstairs is the kitchen and the mud room ... and right now the mudroom feels bigger than anything else in the house.
And there isn't a damned thing we can do about it.
We can't sell. The second realestate agent never even bothered to show up to put up signs or sign contracts or anything. There is no way that we can afford to build on. So Chris and I don't even have a bedroom. We get to sleep on the couch.
What drives me is that in the homestudy the guy said that liam didn't have his own room that we shared his room using it as ours when he isn't home. I WISH. That would mean that I would get my bed back and that we would have times where the bottom floor of the house wasn't filled. We wouldn't have to have the dresser in the living room with our clothes. We could have this place look like there was some room in it.
No point in ranting i suppose. It isn't going to get anything fixed. |
