This is pretty much how I feel after the last two days:
Except not as cute.
Looking forward to some much needed crafty times with the ladies tomorrow night.

I think it's official.
I've gone completely plaid mad.
These are what I've been working on lately.
{ are you a little mad? }
Guess who went to the fabric store this weekend?
I've been working on some new things for an insane ambitious attempt at a craft fair this weekend.
Could someone please add a few extra hours to the days this week, please?
Kthnxbai.
{ what are you workin' on? }
I told ya I was working on new things.
Now...to photograph
(stop raining Seattle plz kthanxbai) .
{ how was your weekend? }
It's been a pretty craptastic week.
So what's the cure?
Super awesomely crafty goodness.
"Flossy the Unicorn Embroidery Floss Bobbin" by sugarcookie
Just...awesome. I would love to have a fleet of rainbow colored unicorns populating my craft room.
"KARMA- Handspun Wensleydale Yarn- 160 yards 8 plus ounces" by SpunRightRound
Everytime I think I'm going to give knitting a break (isn't it almost summer?), I find some beautiful yarn that tempts me back into stitchery.
"VIntage Wooden Sewing Spools-Spool Party" by inmyigloo
My grandma had a drawer filled with spools and spools of colorful threads. It was one of my favorite parts of her house. These make me so happy.
"Group of Vintage Embroidery hoops" by found2donkeys
Look at these amazing shapes!
"Kingsley Koala Hand Carved Stamp" by HandmadeBlayne
The cuteness of this little fella makes me want to 1) own him and 2) learn how to carve stamps.
New hobby?
{ what's your cure for a bad week? }
So if you wanna play along, be one of the first 5 people to comment on this post.
I'll ship anywhere, just be sure to leave me some contact info (blog, email, etc).
And don't forget to post this, too.
Think of all that sweet, sweet karma we're generating...
In other news, here's some fun stuff from the internets!
(if you're as bored as I've been, you'll need this!)
Wish this was me now.
I've lost roughly 5 hours of my time here.
(That's a lie. It's probably way more.)
"Hey guys, the 'high five' is back!"
um, what?
thanks, Monica. it's hypnotic...
Ok. Enough goofing off. *
{ what's up in your world? }
* that's another lie.
A gray and dreary weekend turned into a festival of holiday craft-making.
With, luckily, a few dry hours to run outside for some photography.
(Those are tiny pine trees on the garland. Too bad I didn't think to post a close up. :P)
It was time for a little sprucing up (yuk yuk yuk..).
I've sorted of pounced on the embroidery train lately. It's veery relaxing, plus as the hubbers pointed out ("wait you're telling me these threads are only $0.35 each?!"), it's a lot less spendy than some of my other crafting addictions...
This little guy is from my knitting frenzy days. I think he'll be making an encore performance in my shop later this week....
With any luck, I'll be well prepared for my next craft show....THIS Saturday! Eeep!
{ how was your weekend? }
Happy Monday all. My internets were down ALL weekend (grrrr!). It was so hard to be unplugged, but honestly, it was so stifling h-o-t in my house, I'm not sure how much I'd have gotten accomplished anyways...
This weekend's (non-internetty) goals included:
1. Get some much needed stitchery done. A little preview of something new, I'm so terribly excited about this new project. : D
2. Try to keep the kittens from suffocating in the 95+ degree weather. It must be tough to wear a fur coat when it's so hot out.
3. Attend a lovely outdoor wedding on Sunday. Hubbers looks far too pleased with himself here.
And since I failed at Fashion Friday, here's a look at what I wore to the wedding. I think it's funny to note, since I'm way short, and this dress is way short, it's entirely possible it's actually a shirt, and not a dress at all.
Whoopsies.
PS - I'm so happy to read your responses to this post. And here's the answer to a couple of queries:
#7 I am not sure what to get yet. I have a couple of ideas, but I'm so not going to rush into anything here. I mean, it took me 3 years to talk myself into a navel piercing (now gone).
#8 for my dear international readers, "guns" refers to one's arm muscles. Typically stated while flexing and air kissing one's bicep. I used to have decently toned arms, but it's fallen to the wayside.
#9 I have no idea where I'm going to go yet. Suggestions?

{ so now that we're caught up...how was your weekend? }
Since Saturday went a little something like this:
rain, sun, drenching rain,
I decided to stay indoors and do a little of this:
and a little of that.:
It was so nice to be able to devote an entire day to making things, and getting ready for my Etsy shop's Grand Opening. Stay tuned, because this week I will announce the date my shop will open it's doors. Oh, and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for a special offer for Blog Reader's Only...
{ Can't wait! }
