i put the old ipod monsta in the month of softees monster one. i wish i had known sooner, i would have worked on something new. i am eager to see what next months is.
anyway, this thing in the photo is a paper bead, made basically with a chopstick, paper and glue and whatever else you want. pretty crazy stuff. paper. serious.
anyway, i messed around with the sewing machine some more, i got it threaded, etc and after a few stitches it won’t go anymore and the thread is all tangled. heather said it is probably the tension. i will mess with it to-morrow if i have time. it looks so cool, though.
i finished another breast cancer scarf, i put fringies all over the place, it resembles the lion scarf i did a while ago. i am thinking each link, and how i should enclose it, and then typing on. anyway, i will post a photo to-morrow. i have the meeting at knitwits, i am told the the boutique people are coming, they still never called me, so i will keep my fingers crossed. i don’t feel good about it. anyway, i also started a mother’s day scarf for my ma-ma, using a really loose lace stitch and swanky classic elit dune. yeah!! i wanted to make a wrap and she didn’t seem interested. so scarf. it sparkles!
i also messed around withe shadown boxes which should work nicely. i am wondering if ikea may have better ones. the ones from michael’s are really cheapy on the back. so i may paint or paper a piece of wood or heavy cardstock to use. i am also thinking of using a ribbon attached to the top instead of a hanger on the back. or maybe something else instead of ribbon. hm. yarn maybe. appropo. right? it will be cute though.
i have had 4 big cups of coffee so far today, 2 reg 2 decaf, and i want another even though it is 11:25p. i want one. i will have one.
heather called and said that she would come with to see the sheep, and asked if we could come home sat night. after driving all day seeing the thing and then back again. i am afraid i will end up not going. i get so scared that i will feel sick and be 4 hours away. not that that is so far. it isn’t rational, but i hate it. scary. it overwhelms excitement as the event, whatever it is, nears. i dunno. also, the month of softees thing, i am not sure how to put the photo up on the blog for the link. anyone? anyone?
ok, well wish me luck for to-morrow’s yarn buy. keep ya posted. now for coffee.
