Long (long, long) Time No See

Well, it's been a really long while since i've been around here. Got caught up in a school website competition (we didn't win),  yes, since february. Then school. And now finals. yesterday was the last day of 11th grade, it's been a REALLY unbelievable school year. crazy and weird, in both good and bad ways.
But i've developed an obsession for DIY. Thanks to craftgawker, and a number of other blogs and websites, and i've also followed some of the tutorials and made a few bracelets. As far as crochet goes, i found out that the cellphone cozy i made was featured on the pattern author's website (like, TODAY), here, and i've made two teddy bears from a one of Lion Brand's free patterns, AND i've made a medium sized backpack from a pattern f my own (it felt awesome finishing it).
I've recently finished reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. I've read also read in the past months:
Sing You Home - Jodi Picoult
The Art of Racing in the Rain - Garth Stein
The Hunger Games (who didn't read this?!) - Suzanne Collins
Shutter Island - Dennis Lehane
One Day - David Nicholls


I'll be making two individual posts with the things i've made later.
