.:liar:.

I'm never going to post pictures on here. I apologize. I will update you on my crafting endeavors, however.

I finished two potholders, a scarf, and a washcloth and gave them to bg. He seemed to like them, so I'm going to make him another potholder. This next one will be better than the little one I gave him. It was a tad, well, shite. It was shite. But he won't burn his fingertips on his google sweatshirt anymore. There are positive moments to be had from shite-looking potholders.

I started a pink scarf (kinda a fashion scarf) that is fuzzy and wavy for my little sister, Shay. She's five and sweet as sugar. She was so excited when I gave it to her that she wrapped it around the two of us like a boa and giggled. It was worth the time and the frustration of dealing with that ridiculous yarn. The fuzziness caused it to get tangled up in itself from the skein. I was ready to pull my hair out. Her cute face made up for it 1000 times, and I'll do the same for 3 more sisters.

I just got a request from my friend Richard for a potholder. He lived with my ex for a year or more and used his. (I make a lot of potholders and have for years.) He requested I make and send him some (he lives in Florida). I am going to get on that after I finish bg's next one. bg and I are closer - in all ways.

I have yet to finish Bliss's bucket bag and Mom's cross-stitch (both Christmas gifts), but they both don't really mind. Bliss actually requested a blanket from a pattern good ol' lionbrand.com sent me. It's crocheted and very loverly (the pattern). I'll begin that when Bliss picks out/up her yarn. I'm looking forward to that little craft. It shouldn't take long, and it's easy. Sweeeeeet. I like mindless projects. And people. ;-) I also have to finish this blanket I started a while back. It's a garter stitch and simple, but you have to count and switch colors, then you bind off and pick up the stitches when you rotate it. It'll be grand when it's finished, but I put it down for a couple months, work on it for a week or two, then I put it down again. I'll definitely take pics when I finish it. I may even keep it. We'll see... Time will tell.

Thank you for your patience in reading my pictureless blog. Patience IS a virtue. I do appreciate your time.

Some Pic-a-Tures

I am finally updating in photos. HA! I've had some craft moments this past month on random weekends at my place. It wasn't so much a Crafty Cupcake thing as people showing up with crafty things to do at random - Dos mostly.

Here she is in my floor making stuff the Saturday my aunt was in town putting up my Christmas tree (I didn't ask her to do so, btw). She is using these little bags. She's sewing little felt items on them and embroidering them together and creating cool stuff with buttons. It truly fascinates me.



She ended up staying most the night. Some others showed up for some movie watching, and we spent the evening chilling out, having some beer, and crafting from time to time. Mostly, we just laughed a lot and watched movies.

I started this hat thing for Reggiepants. He sent me a picture, and I thought I could crochet it pretty quickly. I fear I've lost interest, so it's basically gone nowhere, but here is a picture of the beginning. It's a pony tail rasta thingy. :) That's not its official name.





Here's one of my bestest bffs in the world. This is from craft night at her place a while back. She is just embroidering away and getting uber annoyed that one of her bestest bffs in the world will not stop taking photographs of her. Nevertheless, I think she's adorable. I believe her other bffs will appreciate the gifts she is making for them. They have turned out beautifully.

This is a picture to show I'm farther on that blinking scarf I've been working on. I got bored with it too (notice a pattern), so I stopped working on it. I'm going to finish it Thanksgiving weekend so I can give it to my grandmother to sell for whatever she's selling it for. It's a little longer than this, but I lost one of those silver needles. I do this once every few days, so I bought a set for making washcloths. Well, the sizes are similar, so I'm using one of those needles to finish the blinking thing. It's soft and pretty in person, but I look forward to its completion and distribution. If it doesn't sell, I'm giving it away to a needy person (likely a bff of mine who would want it).


I don't have pictures of my progress on Bliss's bucket bag. It's really coming along. Currently, it is in Dayna's floor in Muscle Shoals. I fear she (Bliss) got me wanting to do some cross-stitching. I've completed a little bib with a teddy bear on it, though I've no clue what to do with it; and I'm working on a little gift for Wil. It came from a book Katie gave to Bliss a while back and has two rats with a heart in between them and says "Rat Bastard." It's compliments of Subversive Cross-stitch, and I adore it. It's coming along beautifully. I hope to finish it tonight and have pictures posted soon. I'm very proud of my project, and I'm suddenly addicted to cross-stitching.

Thank you for your patience.

Things I Want

First and foremost, it should be shown that this is the coolest thing ever. It's new to me, and I want one. :) It's unlike me to want something like this, but it's just that cool.

I want to feel better.

I started a scarf last night with some left over yarn from my friend's baby blanket I made her. I don't have a picture yet, but I will. Give me some time. I'm doing the moss stitch. I really like it. It's simple but not boring with the even stitches. Rows 1 and 2: (K1,P1) Rows 3 and 4: (P1,K1) and repeat. I have done it before, but I really love it. Dos suggested it, and I'm glad she did. I had thought about doing it that way, and she cinched the deal for me. I'll post a pic soon.

I have to continue Bliss's bucket bag too if I want to have it complete by Xmas. I will post some non-blurry pictures of its beginnings as soon as I get some. :) I should do that tonight.

Until then, this is me:
I'm going to make my tea and hope for the best. :)
