swap

i just got my partners name for my first craftster.org swap. in her post she said that she was very much a girl next door, and a girly girl with out the pink fluff.

i'm going to have to try to craft something that is not to wild. Something that you would see in a martha steward magazine. but i really want to try something from my Big Ass Craft book . i think i might be able to combine the two. it will take a little bit of time.

i have a month to make something and have it shipped out. so a few of my seven WIP's will have to sit.

i have to make 1 meduim , and 2 smalls .i'm not sure i can do "small"

but i think i have a really good idea of what i want to make.

i tend to make 5 times more for my swap partners then they make for me. but i don't get upset about that because i crochet/knit fast. and i like crafting.

oh no this means that i can't show off what i make until after the swap.

tueday night

ohohoh woke up today .....

I love the hairspray sound track and the movie.

So i'm trying to teach Toby to crochet. for the past few time we went to knitting group he has been making little squares .yea i mean i got tired of scarfs after my second one, i guess he is the same way. because he wants me to teach him how to read a crochet pattern. he wants his first project to be a toy from creepy cute crochet .

meet the nicest kids in town....

Cafe Luwak Knitting group got some new members Matt and his wife . she says she doesn't craft. oh that can't be, all spouses must craft. it took me nearly a year to get Toby roped in. knitting wasn't his thing but crochet is easy and you can't mess up as much.

I finally got toby to let me workout with him. i just couldnt talk to much. or get in his way.

I've been co-washing three days a week . my hair get really dry if i dont keep it wet in some kind of way. i loves me some conditioning . i've been wearing my hair in boxed braids for the past weeks. i just redid it last week. I really should style my braids in some kind of way. I'll have to wip out the rollers tomorrow.

I can hear the bells...

I'm working on a ribbed jacket its coming along. i added a life line this time . because that dog loves to mess everything up. even if i keep it in my knitting bag he just goes sniffing in the bag looking for food. ok i do sometime drop candy in there, but i still dont want him in there.

i was hoping to get that jacket finished by the end of the week. but it looks like im not that fast a knitting and i got distracted darn toys so cute.
oh yea look at this
