Ugh!

I'm a shit head I know it. I've been crafting away and leaving you, my partially dedicated reader, in the balance! I've been crafting up a bunch of stuff to sell at a fancy schmancy baby shop. I am in good with the manager (hi MIL!) and the owner (hey Aunt Lu) so I know they will buy my stuff to sell there.
My MIL recently asked me why I hadn't brought in a bunch of cute baby hats to sell at her store. I was shocked because I didn't realize the offer I had recieved was a serious one! I just thought she was complimenting my stuff when she asked to sell it. I am now working my ass off making baby stuff.
I figure whatever doesn't sell I know a ton (haha) of preggo chickies that would love to have their child's head look like a giant sunflower with leaves around the band. For now You'll have to sit there and imagine it. I need to take a million pictures and edit a million more.
I admit though, that its because I've been lazy. Darren finally went back to work after his entire week off for spring break. It was exhausting to have him at home because he upset my time flow the whole time! Most days he had me awake before noon and forced me to make lunch AND dinner for him! Boooo!!! Why can't he eat ramens out of tupperware like I do on vacation?
We definitely had a good time though. I got him high by making him watch movies with me in the Bitch Cave. He got the munchies during the Bourne Ultimatum and ate all the pistachios and combos. Bastard! It wasn't that I wanted the munchies (although I wouldn't have turned some down) it was that he was crunching the whole time and I get deaf when I'm stoned. I could hardly hear everything blowing up! I actually used the subtitles to keep abreast of the situation because Mr. McCrunchMaster had drowned out all dialogue.
Now I'm back to my normal schedule. Except that I now have 2 weeks worth of laundry to do. I'm not doing it before noon though! Oh yeah, and pics soon I hope, unless I get peanut butter on the lens again.

Crappy pics



Here are some not very good pictures of my two latest things. One is another cupcake hat and the other is a scarf. I didn't get a picture of the whole scarf, but its just like the black and burgundy one I did before. I actually liked making this one after seeing the other one finished. I have too many ideas in my head right now though. I want to make another scarf like that for myself, but I have a ton of other things I want to make right now too. I'll probably spend the evening making a mess of the house while trying to do all of them at once!

Picky Lady

Okay, remember the picky lady with the black and burgundy scarf? She likes it so much she hasn't taken it off since she got it. Now her friend wants one like it in brown and navy plus someone else wants a cupcake hat. (I forgot to get pics of that one I think)
I'm trying to get some stock built up for my etsy, but I'm so busy with orders from my mom's co workers. I know I shouldn't complain, but I am. bleh.

Tea Leaf




Here's my little donkey. His name is Tea Leaf. I'm really happy with him. I used the pointy kitty pattern and made his ears longer and his tail shorter. Most of him is done in the blanket stitch. It took me just as long to sew him up as to cut out all the pieces. I really need to practice my sewing and cutting skills!

Simple Birthday Card


Here's a birthday card for a dear friend. I made this last night. It was harder than you think because I am not very talented in the paper arts area. I actually like how this turned out even though its very simple. I didn't get a picture of the back, hence the black with white text.

Getting the Hang of This





Wow, I'm getting frustrated tryint to learn how to do this. Grr... Anyway, lets try again:


My mom's co worker ordered a bunch of scarves from me and hated them. (she's got no style!) I was surprised when she actually ordered more from me! This time I was not nearly as happy and creative. The black one is just regular old double crochet with a giant hook. I didn't even weave the ends. I just added the fringe. The other one looks red but it is burgundy. The stripes are all random. I absolutely hated working on this one because of all the ends, but by the time I finished the picot edge I wanted it. :)


For those of you who know my work, you'll recognize the next 2 things. These canvases are my latest projects. The green one is called Wrapped Around Her Finger. It looks crooked, but thats the way I was holding the camera. The other one is called Our Last Phoenix. The biggest circle will be on the bottom left.


I'm off to finish cleaning my craft room and trying to reorganize it to make it more efficient. Also, I don't know how to make the pictures come after the post. bleh.

Well, this is new...

After having so much trouble with myspace I am now going to blog here. This is a place where you can see my completed works and hopefully I'll remember to update this with in progress pics as well. I make stuff pretty much everyday, but I don't always remember to post pics. I know some of you out there love to browse though, so I'll try to keep it interesting.
Well, I'm off to craft to try to keep your attention. Maybe I'll have a pic of something tonight?
