Archive for My own little corner

wahhh

I am such the not happy knitter today!! I was totally excited for this weekend and had a great plan of what I wanted etc. . Well my parade has been rained on and I cant go this weekend. I am so incredibly bummed. Family obligation hopped up and unfortunately needed to be this weekend. So I am giving up my sheepy pie weekend , but I am pouting all the while. Definately need to acquire some yarn this week to make me smile

Still here

Still knitting… this is now my second post blogger seems to have eaten the first one. While I was on hiatus there may have been some spinning (yes actual spinning ike I totally made yarn not pretty yarn but I totally was able to knit a lil swatchlette out of it and its fairly consistent) There were a lot of ufos worked on (I was totally concerned about the MIB coming for me) There was also a significant amount of sewing done and stash reorg. The space bags decidedly sucked. I tried to like the and i did for a really long time until I realized what a PITA they were so I think I figured something else thanks to the help of Ikea ( I love you Ikea so much) There have been tons of mini posts in y head but nothing seemed to be able to come out the fingers ( there is some crazy trap between my brain and my fingers i need to disconnect it.)
There is a small bit of unfinished business around here… I had a contest and never chose a winner. All the ideas were awesome and did make this years list (another day I will probably post them all prob within the week, unless I go underground again) Anywho throuhg very scientific methods (too secret to disclose) we have chosen a winner Tiennie
Please p.m. your address so I can send out your prize…. I think thats all for now folks . Next post will be better and sooner (hopefully) and have pics…

I have been experimenting….

… with the dark arts…. no seriously though I started kind of crocheting again ( I havent done that in YEARS!!) It is kind of an addiction. I have started making myself a little nook in my living/crafty/office room (why yes it is a true multi – purpose room). My (found) love seat thing is there just needs to be recovered with what I dont know. My pretty little table is kind of next to it and there is a floor lamp to its side (I’ll add a pic later it needs to be tidied) So of course it needs a blanket throw kind of thing. I saw a granny square bed spread on Posie which led me Here and out came the ACKrylic. I will not be grannying along because then I will never finish but lemme tell you these ladies know there squares. More Later…
