Always Shifting

      No Comments on Always Shifting

Today brought another wave of trying to tame my desk environs. Of course, kiddos decided they had to keep getting in my way in spite of me repeatedly asking them to not invade the like, 2 square feet I needed them to stay out of. My anxiety is still a bit elevated from that, which is super annoying. But at… Read more »

All the Pretties

      No Comments on All the Pretties

The bulk of the beads I ordered the other day came in this morning! I’ve not done anything with them besides put them in a storage box, but they are here, they are tucked away, and they are full of possibilities. The only shop-related things I’ve done was complete a sale (yay!), and photograph and list some markers I made… Read more »

Grandad Conehands

We, the six of us, went out for a family meal this evening. The girls were well-behaved (as always), and Granddad solicitously offered to help them eat their desserts. So they both gave him their cones, and focused on their ice cream. I don’t know know if he was amused that they took him at his word… I know I… Read more »

Setting In

      No Comments on Setting In

Today’s knitting is… sewing. And then more sewing. I got halfway around on the first sleeve and had to rip it out because it looked horrible. And it looked horrible because I always think that I remember how to set in sleeves without checking (hint: I really don’t xD). I’m making pretty good headway on the second sleeve, so hopefully… Read more »

Faceless

I had three bits of mail this morning, to my amusement. I’m not usually the one getting the mail, so getting all of it was whee. Z was mildly concerned when the postwoman showed up though, because she had something like five little packages, and he was worried they were all for me. No love, I’m doing my best to… Read more »

Delightful Disaster

      No Comments on Delightful Disaster

I have… stuff… everywhere. In some ways, it’s both better and worse now that I have the tray in situ. It doesn’t quite fit right anywhere, so I’ve got it balanced atop something to make it more stable in the space I’ve assigned it. I’m kind of amazed how many little bags it has in it. I know my shop… Read more »

Moarrr

Yes, I had moar beads arrive today! These were all mainly on the small size, but I’ve already found some inspiration. I made two sets of crochet markers, and am trimming off the matching two sets of knit markers. I’m hoping I can come up with a name sooner rather than later so I can get them posted to my… Read more »

You Guessums, Bead Edition

      No Comments on You Guessums, Bead Edition

There is this one particular random assortment of beads that I keep ordering from Amazon, and it reliably gives me some of the beads that I want to work with. It also gives me some I’ve not figured out what I want to do with, but I’ll figure it out as I go along. What I am probably going to… Read more »

Hard at Work

      No Comments on Hard at Work

Actually, that sort of wasn’t true. I didn’t really do any work-work, and was easily swayed away from it by Z (and the fact Littler decided I was furniture for long stretches). I hopefully will get some of the things done tomorrow, but the main thing will be having a proper bath before going out tomorrow night and having to… Read more »

Grind Grind Grind

I didn’t do a lot of making today, but I did get three new listings up in the shop (blah blah, buy us with money, blah blah). I had two I needed to list from yesterday, and one that I managed to cobble together to my satisfaction while Z was over at his parent’s house with the girls. And why were… Read more »
