Oh Nuts

This post only has to do with the last thing mentioned in the title. But that is besides the point. Anyhow, I decided to rant a little, because I need to do it right now. Since the beginning of the summer I have been having a bit of trouble with my car. The first round of problems were on the minor side and easy to fix. The second time my car had to get taken in to get fixed it was because it started shaking. We had taken it in to get it fixed, but the problem hadn't been addressed then. Before it got taken in to get fixed the second time, it stopped working on me while I was driving it. After that it got taken in and the problem actually got fixed.

I named it TARDIS since that is the same color blue or at least very close to that! --- 2 --- Though I haven't taken a picture of it yet I finished knitting the backpack I was working on for the past few weeks! Other than the yarn I used for the straps/drawstring it is rather pink. If I remember to do it once I'm done doing the photo a day thing I'll post the instructions that I used to make the backpack. Or if I feel like it I might do that for next weeks 7 Quick Takes. We shall see though. --- 3 --- Since I couldn't think of anything to do really I decided to share a few of the graphic art things that I have done. The pictures were found on tumblr --- 4 --- I can't wait until fall because then we can have the nice cool weather that we have been having a lot this summer more often. Another thing that I can't wait for in fall is when all of the trees and plants and stuff changes color...
