I would like a, um... middle sized one?

I want a medium. Not a grande, venti, or whatever else ridiculous name you can think up. Also, why is the smallest size sometimes called a medium? Shouldn't it be a small? I thought the whole point of a drive through was to make it quick and easy. I would just like a drink without having to learn a new language please. If you're going to use another language, at least use Spanish. I can figure out Spanish. Donde esta el bano? Dame un besito, por favor. Mira, mira! Well, maybe not enough to get a drink.

I've been doing stuff, okay?

I do actually make stuff. I just don't take pictures of it. I'm a busy slacker. Is that possible? Sorry these are all small pictures. I didn't want this post to be huge. If you want to see closeups, go to my Flickr page.


These pillows are for my princess. Big Lots had 3 skein packages of glittery yarn for $1.50. So of course, I got one of each color they had. I still have a white pillow to finish. (Besides finishing these two.) They also had some pink and purple wool (I bought 6 skeins), and a package of 6 black crochet floss cones for $1.50 (score!). Oh yeah, I was happy that day. I'm still perfecting my poor felting skills. Floridians and wool do not get along, okay?


This blanket isn't finished yet either. I have to get more gray yarn for the eyes. I thought I had enough in my stash pile, but nope! It figures. This is for a friend whose due in July. I've got time- HA! Famous last words.



And of course, I've just started a new project! I'm stupid like that... or ADD, take your pick. This is going to be a baby blanket for a little girl due in September. If I follow the pattern, it'll be huge. If I have time (HA!), I might actually make the whole thing, otherwise I'll only make it approximately a yard square, which is my regular size. Yeah, the blue yarn is the same as the preemie blanket. It was on clearance. I did buy 6 skeins of it, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I may be crafty, but I'm also cheap. I mean thrifty.

Yay for local music!



This Saturday, I'll be at Lake Mary City hall, stinking of bug spray and sweating profusely. BUT, I'll be happily listening to some great music. I've mentioned Rob Gundling before, but this will be the first time I get to hear the whole band. Yay for local bands!

I'm all a twitter!

I've been sucked in to the Twitter madness. I have a Twitter account, and I love that it's instant, short updates. Who has time to write blog posts? Apparently not me! I'm not sure how long my obsession with this will last, but we'll give it a go. Follow me if you're interested. I'd love to find some interesting people to follow, too.
These are the things that keep me up late at night. Sigh.

New baby smell



This is my newest model. Isn't he precious? He belongs to one of Hubby's co-workers, but I get to play with him this summer. Yay for new baby smell! And of course I made the blanket and bunny.

Adds ahoy!

The add poll is closed. Those of you who voted said to go for it, so don't be surprised if adds pop up in the near future. I won't let it get irritating; don't worry.

Blatant self-promotion below.

Not that you need another excuse to shop, but I've marked all my fall merchandise in my shop down 15%. You can find it all in the sale section of my shop, and here's some pictures to tempt you.



Red Floral Evening Clutch
This bag is a good size for just the essentials- lipstick, driver's license, cash, and a credit card. I have one in a different color that I carry to church. The beaded handle is really pretty, too.



Olive Stripe Mini Messenger
This messenger style is more of a wallet on a long strap. If you like wearing your bags across your chest, this strap is long enough for you. I love the button on the front, and you can click on the picture to see it in closer detail. I used this same fabric to make some gift bags for my MIL's luncheon. It's a gorgeous green.


This is the same style as the Olive Stripe, but in the deep red floral print like the clutch. I have a different style purse in the same fabric and I get so many compliments on the color. This messenger also has seed beading on the front to add some sparkle.


I love these little keychains! The fabric on this one is very pretty, too. I made a larger tote for a friend in it, and she loved the print. The little chocolate glass bead on the front matches perfectly. And let's face it, if you say you don't have a handbag addiction, then you're just lying to yourself.
