Crochet Withdrawal: Paige Makes Some Charts

WHY HELLO THERE READERS!

Today (I haven't gone to sleep yet!),  I finished my last class of my freshman year in college!! Only 1 final, a quick trip home, and a second final stand between me and SUMMER (my favorite season)!!

In celebration (and procrastination for studying), I went to my handy-dandy "yarn" Pinterest board. And found this:

These awesome perler bead coasters are Mario mushrooms! If you want these perler bead ones, check out DelightfulEpiphany's Etsy page!

In the caption of my Pinterest "pin", the caption read "...must make crochet charts for this! adorable!". So, I'm sure you can guess that I did do this. I don't have my hooks or yarn with me anymore, but I am planning on channeling my inner DelightfulEpiphany and create the crochet version of these coasters! So instead, I made the charts and I am getting EXCITED!
A blue mushroom coaster chart!
I will keep you updated on all of my adventures! Until I get home, I will be studying, finishing up final projects, and creating more crochet charts for the summer!

Until next time, readers!

xoxo,
Paige

The Saga of Paige and Her Computer

Well, I have to apologize for my lack of posts lately; as the title of this post could insinuate, I have had many computer problems.

It all started right at the end of my spring break - my hard drive crashed. I got a new one (woohoo!), but then I had some bracket problems...apparently, a bracket should be replaced along with your hard drive - who knew? Not me! And then, of course, there were software problems, so re-imaging was in store, but problems still continued.

Now, after 4 trips to the Apple Store in 3 weeks... I am proud to announce that now I have a brand new machine that works like a charm!

The only unfortunate thing is when my original hard drive crashed was that I did not back up any of my files - trust me, I had student backup system issues, along with every piece of bad hardware and software problem I had these past few weeks.

That being said, most of my patterns and things have disappeared into thin air...including some of my original patterns. BUT, PRAISE THE LORD FOR GOOGLE DOCS because the patterns published on this website are SAFE! The ones that were in the works, well, those are history.


**Another Update On My Life: I'm on my last week of classes! So that's good. A final portfolio and two final exams are the only things holding me from summer. BUT, I will be home over the lovely Memorial Day Weekend and will definitely start this blog back up and running full force!**

Keep on reading for more posts!

xoxo,
Paige
