Rock Chalk Jayhawk Basketball

I got a call from the brother this past Monday and off I went to Lawrence.  To Allen Fieldhouse for my 5th visit of the year!  4 Games and Late Night.  That is certainly something I cannot complain about.
One of the most fantastic things about watching a game inside the Fieldhouse is the video before the introduction of the team.  It's loud, it's emotional, it recalls memories, and makes you completely ready for the game.  Best Pump Up Video ever!
My brother invited me to the game when he found himself with a second ticket.  If that every happens again, let me know!
It was a great game.  We won over Baylor 61-44.  The Jayhawks looked great in the first half, slowed down a bit and got a bit sloppy in the middle but it was still a trouncing.  The Allen Fieldhouse winning streak continues with 32 consecutive wins.
And now we have a new picture to put on our parents fridge.
Hopefully I make it there one more time this season.  If not to a live game at least to watch the Jayhawks on the scoreboard in the Final Four? You never know when a basketball ticket gives you a call!

Valentines day pillow

The day after breaking off the relationship I couldn't just sit around.  I had to do something.  And something that comes naturally to me is working on crafts. 
Valentine's day is around the corner so it would be the easiest crafts to make.  After breaking up hearts are not quite the items you want to be working with but I did it anyways.
I found a piece in my parents house that inspired me to make a patchwork pillow for Valentine's day.

 Blogger decided to change all my pictures sideways, oh well.  I went to my fabric stash after buying some fabric from one of my favorite fabric shop in Lawrence, KS, Sarah's and starting cutting the ever popular 2 1/2 in squares.

 I started to draw out some different patterns.  I originally planned to use diamonds as a pattern for the pillow but the different angles of the heart precluded that idea.  I decided to go pretty simple and go from there.

I took a good amount of time laying out the initial shape of the heart with one fabric of the four that I had chosen.

To continue tomorrow.  Crafting make the heart grow stronger!
