Almost there

I am almost done with my journey of 1000 coasters (or 50 coasters, whatever). Thanks in part to the super wonderful help of the awesome Rori and the excellent Sarah. I have 4 more to go. 4. I made 2 last night. Maybe I can get all of those last 4 done tonight.

And then the possibilities. See, when I am in the middle of something I have to do, I am often struck by many things I want to do. I know this phenomenon is not unique to me. Far from it. But I have been looking at and wondering, gazing and planning during this entire long coaster journey. There are a jillion things on my 'want to do' list, many of them before Indie Emporium. And there are things on my list I want to knit for Christmas and things on my list I want to knit for myself and so on and so forth. But when this happens, when I slog through something on the 'have to do' list, often times I am overwhelmed by the possibilities of what to knit next and there is this moment of freeze where I dig and dig through patterns and paw through yarn and take just about forever trying to decide what to do next, when really I could be doing it.

So, my goal is to make a plan in my head whilst knitting these last 4 little coasters tonight and hopefully by the end of the evening I will have cast on for some awesome non-coaster something. Wish me luck!

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...

Straw Hat 60's Straw Hat Floppy I think I want one of these, but which one do I want? HELP ME!!!

More Partying

Joining in with Tickle Me Tuesday!  I hope I'm not overloading you, but it's fun to party  ;-) I love this apron , but being a non-pinky, I wish it was blue. These amazing  soaps .   Yes, I said soaps!!! I can't stop looking at them.  One of these days I have to give in and order some. I want this  dress  sooooo bad. feminine, country, old fashioned... love. These  potholders  belong in my coffee themed kitchen.  I gaze at them often. So, those are just a few things tickling my fancy.  Sundresses are also tickling my fancy, if it would only get warm! Go visit the party and see what is tickling everyone else's fancy today!
