Possibilities

      No Comments on Possibilities

I had a box of beads come in today, which was yay. I’ve got some goodies up in my shop now, with the lower price of £3.50 for a set of ten. I’m hoping that will entice people to come in and spend money. We’ll see. We also stopped at Hobbycrack earlier today, but alas? There were no beads crooning… Read more »

Momentarily Contained

      No Comments on Momentarily Contained

I spent part of this morning trying to tidy and reorganise my desk storage to make space for this whole Etsy shop thing. It’s a good idea in theory, though in practice my desk is currently covered with stuff ’cause I’ve been making and adding markers to the store. I’ve had to make myself stop and take a minute to… Read more »

I Earned This Coffee

      No Comments on I Earned This Coffee

Today, I celebrate my first sale, woo! Granted, it was a custom request that predated me setting up the store, but it also is kind of the thing that nudged me into doing it. Tippy wanted to pay me what my efforts were worth, and I guess I needed that bit of validation to take a big step and *try*… Read more »

Masochist, Me

      No Comments on Masochist, Me

I’m probably making a terrible, hilarious mistake, but I went ahead and set up an Etsy shop. I don’t think I’m going to make much money off of it, but that isn’t really the point. The point is that I REALLY want to make lots of stitch markers, and I can only give so many to friends before I run… Read more »

No Looking Back

Okay, this is me attempting to come up with something clever that looks like it goes with the picture I took, but I’m stretching it a bit thin. Mainly, I wanted to show off my wad of hair wrapped around a tiny stick, as well as the top I’m currently wearing. It’s one of my handknits, and was done in… Read more »

Made With Love

      No Comments on Made With Love

I’ve had a hankering this past week to wear my various hand knits. I made myself so many goodies something like two years ago, and then I’ve barely touched them. So I’m making a point to do it now. I’m currently wearing my Nesoi tee, which is lovely and light, and just the right level of extra warmth I need… Read more »

Temptation

There is a single bead that has been sitting on my desk most of this week. So of course, that bead keeps singing siren songs of making more stitch markers. You know what? I do want to make more. But I have set myself the goal of trying to get halfway through this sleeve this weekend, so I’m trying to… Read more »

Getting On

      No Comments on Getting On

Today has been for sitting on my backside, gaming, and knitting. I am pleased at the progress that I am making on this sleeve, especially since I’m not able to exclusively knit most of the time… hooray, ADHD brain! Still, progress is progress, and I’m over a quarter of the way done. That’s pretty cool, and it would be even… Read more »

Feeling Cute

      No Comments on Feeling Cute

I don’t know what it it is about today, but I’ve been feeling super cute. I couldn’t even tell you why in particular. I mean, I default think that I am adorable and all of that. I like me, I like my failing meatbag in a frustrated sort of way. Maybe my body was just squirtin’ an extra dose of… Read more »

More Pretty Things

      No Comments on More Pretty Things

Today has been an amusing day. I’d commented to E last night that out of the ‘advice’ giving game these days. So of course, I end up having several mutually cathartic conversations with friends over the course of the day, ha ha. Which is great! I love catching up with friends, and in one case, I honestly cannot remember how… Read more »
