and all the exciting goings on

Notice the lovely blog re-design?  Surely you have, it would be hard to miss it!  I had Miss Kaelah Bee help me out with it and now I think it looks fantastic!  If you are not the super-tech type but want to give your blog a face lift, hit her up.  The button for her blog, Little Chief Honeybee, is over on the right under Daily Reads.

Next up in yesterday's Day-of-total-awesomeness I received the purse I ordered from atouchofstardust on etsy.

 It's so pretty!  It's a lovely grey-blue with big pretty white flowers and a grey strip and handles.  I custom ordered it based on 2 other bags in her shop, using the elements I liked from each one.  It took me months to decide on the perfect bag because she has so many amazingly wonderful ones.

Also in yesterday's awesomeness I got to go have Peachwave with 2 ladies whose company I very much enjoy!  Thanks for coming out with me, Jen & Gracie!  I needed to hit up Michaels for a couple things.  I had run out of yarn 1 row from completing a project.  ONE ROW.  I was so frustrated.  And then I need to pick up a dusty rose for a custom order hat.  I hope I got the right color!

And last for the day of awesomeness, I wove in some ends while catching up on the blog world.  Now, I am not one of those people who could make a whole bunch of stuff and horde it away and not tell people about it and then spring a whole new line of stuff on them at once, so you will very likely see my spring line one project at a time, but thats OK!
 This is the first Spa Set of the spring.  I am calling it the Lemon Chiffon set.  It's a set of three super soft spa-style washcloths made from 100% cotten.  Luxurious feeling on adult skin but soft enough to use on a baby.
 I have not listed the set on etsy yet, but I will soon.  Last night I was just happy to get all the ends woven in and take a couple photos before falling exhaustedly into bed.
This light yellow feels so spring-like to me.  Makes me happy!  I didn't used to be a big yellow fan, but now certain shades are really growing on me.  Must be my old age or something.  Not that I am spending a lot of time thinking about how old I am.  Or at least, I am trying not to.  Hard with that big birthday right around the corner.  The whole changing decades thing is just a little weird.

Here's to another day of awesomeness today!  I get to play with new make-up this morning, that is always a lot of fun.  And then after work I get to go on a date with my wonderful husband, which is sure to be fantastic.  :-)  I can't wait!

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.  My whole Monday night knitting group went mad ov

Ridiculously Easy 3x3 hat

So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche

Production Day & Giveaway!

There is less than a week until the Arkansas Fiber Arts Extravaganza. Even though my stitch markers didn't move well at Indie Emporium, I have high hopes for them this coming weekend. This audience will be completely different, for starters. This time it is a fiber specific event and the people who are coming should actually know what they are! Despite not being very down in inventory, I decided to have a production day to add variety to my stock. It started out as me thinking, oh I'll just make a few today while I have some time. Then I got going and decided I was having fun, so why not have some Chai and make some more. Riley helped by pushing me off the sofa more than once. Ripley did too, but I didn't catch a picture of him doing it. By mid afternoon I had opened new beads, fixed myself a tray of grapes and cheese, finished off the chai and was grooving at a pretty good pace. By the time I needed to get up and get going for my evening plans I had made 15 new sets,
