Random Wednesdayness - Crafts, Vamps and Being Lonely

Have I mentioned how unbelieveably hard it is to be away from E? And have I mentioned how ridiculously alone I feel when I know my friends and loved ones are doing things without me? I feel like such a crybaby bitching all the time, but I fucking hate being cooped up in this hotel room by myself, week after week, night after night. I get so freaking lonely sometimes, I honestly don't know how I make it through the weeks. I don't know what the future is going to bring, but I'm putting it out in the universe and hoping that things will work out in my favor.In other news, I spent a good amount of time getting my office rearranged and cleared of clutter and it's really starting to take shape. I'm hoping to spend a few more hours in there this weekend and get it finished. I'd really like to paint, but I think I'll hold off on that a while until I have a week or two at home to concentrate on it. In the meantime, if the room can function as an office and crafting space, I'll be happy.I've really been in a creative mood lately and am excited to spend some time crafting this weekend. I found this project on the Michaels website and want to give it a try. I think it'd make a cute gift for someone special, as well. I really want to get a start on the frame project I wrote about two weeks ago, in addition to a few other things. I've spent a bit of money on new yarn in the last 10 days (I may or may not have gone a little crazy) and can't wait to put it all to use!I mentioned starting an ugly afghan in one of my last posts and I'm happy to report that I FINALLY figured out how to crochet a granny square. I've made four so far and have about 96 to go! The next challenge will be figuring out how to join them all together. This is a picture of my latest square. It's not perfect, but that's kind of the point... ugly and imperfect gives it more character, right? This is the link to the instructions that I used if you're interested. If I can figure it out, anyone can.I saw this cute idea on someone's blog about a month ago and wanted to try it out. I found a coat rack/hook and spray painted it bright green... it was cream to begin with and my walls are white, so it would have looked out of place. After I finally got it hung on the wall, I hung all my re-useable totes up on it and have a fun little display in my room! I would have hung it downstairs, but figured my bro might not like it.For those of you who don't know, I'm a big True Blood fan... and I absolutely can't wait until the new season starts at the end of the month. This is the latest promo poster and it's super hot! I can't wait to see if Season 4 sticks to the book... that means there will be lots of Eric in it... and hopefully naked!

And with that kids, I'm out! Mwah!
