Another Tuesday

Before I get on with the things that are tickling my fancy, I would just like to say that it being 35 degrees on a May morning is just not right.  Brrrrrr.  I got up for my usual 5:30 am 3.5 miles and about froze half to death.

Now, on with:








This pretty graphic for the event I am participating in this weekend.

I am kind of in lust with the idea of having an outdoor daybed to lounge in, but I am having trouble finding one in my price range.  But I really, really, really, really want one.

The whole Bath & Body Works True Blue Spa Collection.  Especially the fact that most of the lotions are available in unscented.  Thank you B&BW.

Don't forget to check out what everyone else is fancying this week!

Have a great Tuesday.

I would loooooove an outdoor daybed - just as long as it wasn't 35 degrees outside! Brrr :)

Brrr...hope it warms up!
The outdoor daybed idea is fun. I would really love a hammock! Have fun with the handmade show this weekend. The graphic is quite eye catching, so I hope it draws a great crowd :)

Nice picks! I am looking forward to the show this weekend. I could use some quality time with my crafty friends. And that outdoor daybed would be PERFECT on my deck. I think I'd be tempted to add an outdoor nap to my daily routine. ;-)~

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. ...

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,...
