updates

see how good I am at keeping up with things?

I've been busy, and quite sick!! I've posted a lot of new stuff in my Ravelry notebook including the Pirate doll I'm working on for a friend's son in New Mexico.





It's very nearly done! I'm so happy with the way it's turning out.

I'm trying really hard for a hand-made xmas. I usually go nuts for xmas and spend way too much money and buy (especially MY kids) way too much STUFF. I'm carrying a lot of guilt about that. This year I'm trying really hard to do things differently. Hopefully the grandparents can follow our lead but somehow I doubt it.


I'll post more about my DIY xmas very soon!

added a link on the sidebar to Pottercast, omg I'm obsessed with this podcast now. It's the nerdy-lit-geek in me. I love me some books, talking about books, reading about books, anything about books. I also love essay writing, I'm odd, I know this.

We're moving TOMORROW. Shock and Awe. I know I know.

I need to work on this blogs' layout. For now though, I must go pack more boxes.

Plush You

This is what I sent in to the Plush You show this year. My stuff is being shown at Fancy & Pants. I'm super excited about it. Hopefully they will both sell!!

These are large fleece plush, over 14" tall and 12' wide. They are super soft and cuddly.

Moving and Christmas

Since all my stuff is in storage and packed away (argh) I have not been crafting. I have however been painting, walls. The kids' room is very close to being finished and the main bath room is on it's way as well. I still have to do a few touch ups here and there in those two rooms, but mostly they are just waiting for curtains!

Finding curtains proved to be a really big pain. Hubs picked up some for the kids' room all on his own, and I haven't seen them yet. Scary! I got curtains for the master bedroom and the computer room (both of which still need painted and don't really yet need curtains) but when they are on sale for 5 dollars..well you buy curtains!

So I realize that Christmas is soon-ish. I think everything is pretty well covered, maybe, I think. I dunno actually. Since everything is up in storage..let's just say I'm hoping to have everything back on track by October 15 including an xmas inventory as well as my webshop back up and running.

Also, I think my cat has fleas. I thought fleas only happened in the summer?!

Uh huh

I keep thinking I need to be somewhere but I don't! I actually don't tonight!

Maybe that is what's throwing me off.

We're in the middle of attempting to move/remodel the new-to-us house and sell this one as well as pack. It's not going well at all. No one actually wants to pack and I'm starting to get angry for not getting any help. at. all.

I'm thinking about ripping out my do-knits and reknitting them the way I know how to..the same way I did my xmas ornaments for last year.

I'm going to try to pack at least three boxes in the next hour, shouldn't be too hard since everything in this whole house needs packed.

argh!
