2-1

So i'm only to the leg of one sock. i got a bit bored with it. i don't see knee highs in my furter.

I finished two stuffed cat toys one looks a little better then the other. i got my other copy of stitch n bitch. and toby say a tiger toy now he wants me to make him that one. it will have to wait

I made a few ribbon flowers yesterday. the cats love to steal the puffy ones

then i wanted to use my sewing machine. i pulled out all my fabrics. all my patterns. an none of it sparked anything in me. then i remembered that i wanted to try to make a quilt this year. an my cousin is having a baby. may as well start off small right. she doesn't know if she is having a boy or girl yet. but i had a larger collection of girl colors, so yea. if she has a boy then i don't know what im going to do with it.

I have all of the stripes sewn.now i have to sew the stripes into one big block. then im not to sure about the rest. i looked at craftster and that helped alot. now i just need to keep going with my gut and im sure it well turn out ok right?

before shot

craft fair

my friend Jessica told me that the church down the street from her is having a craft fair. I'm not to comfortable in churches.But the space is only 10$. and it will be a chance to sell some stuff and get my business cards out there.

i ordered cards from vista printing 250 card, a pen and a stamper all free, shipping 7.00$ and it will take up to 21 days to get it. I'm in no rush.

I've been working on making bangles from this tutorial . i used pop bottles and a hot glue gun.
more pictures here

I've ran out of most of my metal crafting supplies. so i can't make earrings or jewelry right now.

I'm working on making a few food items today. tomorrow maybe some items from creepy crochet.

a T day mix up

man so we haven't been able to get toby's T for about two months now. will we he got he had to get the money from his mom. so as soon as we got home he wanted it. an i had to stab him, i'm not sure why he can't do it him self. he is not afraid of needles, he has tattoo. i think he just has unsteady hands or something . well i went to deep once,blood, blood, me scared, then the second time it was just a little poke. well that leg was done for. an i really didn't want to do it, and cause him more pain. but it had to be done, the third time was ok, and i ran away. in case he was just putting on a non pain face.

~~~~~~~~~~
i made these for toby. i guess that i'm really bad at stitching on stuffed animals. so i painted on the faces, i don't know if it was come off in the wash

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
