Showing off some silly things

My little sister (Lizzy) calls me an “old lady” for several reasons, including: I enjoy crocheting and sewing, I like to cook, and I have a collection of small house-plants. I also seem to collect Depression-era glassware and wear pajamas made by my great-grandmother. Anyway, these are a couple of my recent projects.

a green and blue powerbook cover

I crocheted a sweater for my computer. The purpose is to keep it safe while in my backpack, so I didn’t need a real closure for the top; the little green ties are mostly for decoration.

blue, red, and yellow patches on my jeans

As my favorite pair of jeans wears out, I keep adding patches to the developing holes and tears. Right now it has two Girl Scout badges, a Fraternal Order of the Eagles patch, and a vaguely Native American ribbon. I’m going to add 15th Air Force and Fleet Marine Force Pacific Supply Service insignia soon. A Chi Phi Fraternity patch is waiting for a good opportunity, and I’ll use a Real Madrid patch if I can remember where I put it. The main theme: red, yellow, and blue patches from organizations that I do not belong to.

This is reminiscent of the theme for the stickers on my iBook: small, geometric lies.
