so i was all stressing about etsy and i sold this sherbiznitz to the hostess of secret pal pgh and a vintage top and another yarn in the works….i am so excited. i actually went through and gave the items more informative titles, etc, and added some stuff…so check it out my store!!! PLEASE!! i am now a full-time artist. of fibre. with every fibre of my being. have we been through this before? maybe.

i had my crochet lesson today at my lys and decided that large sculptures and crochet do not necessarily mix. although i still want to try some stuff. i am going to try to take a class on basket weaving to make some larger sculptural pieces, like the ones in my dreams. but i did figure out where the crochet was going awry. oh, and what i was going to talk about, was that i took my new yarns that i had spun with me and one of the owners asked a lot of questions. i mentioned that it was my income now, and i can do anything they liked, like custom colors solely for their shop? we will see. that would be cool. i could be the mascot. probably not, but whatever.

in other news, i got both of my secret pal’s names, one for the pgh one, who is a middle aged lady who seems really nice, and not lame like someone who i will not name. also, my regular sp is named ursula. sadly she is a LJ person, so there is really no info on her, but she is hardcore fiber person, is allergic to wool, but uses it anyway, so i can give her all sorts of handspun and dyed non-wool stuff, and i know she will be into it. i am excited. both are really good.

i went to the dr and found out that i have a sinus infection, which i had gathered and some blocked ducts in my eyes that may require a knife. i could do it myself. i really could. hold your horses! i won’t. i promise. so i am on antibiotics, so excuse me if i need to run out of here clutching my ass or puking or covered in spots…it happens. it is hard to know. we will see. i do feel itchy. but that could be my scorching case of herpes. did i say that out loud? oops. anyway, i have more stuff to put up and hope i can actually get some spinning done to-morrow. i have made some kiddie hats for the boutique but that is it. and my yarn didn’t come yet. i got a cryptic message from discount yarns saying that i hadn’t been billed yet and i would be when it was sent which could be in 3-5 days. or not. okey doke. thanks guys.

ok, must eat food and take pill.
chirp!

    Hi Natasha. I’ve seen crochet sculpture before. It think the secret is using stiff material and crochet very tightly, use a needle much smaller than you would normally use. One piece which springs to mind was a reclining nude crocheted out of video tape, quite an ugly brown. Also perhaps the scupture was supported with stuffing to help it keep shape.

    sinus infections SUCK the big one. Last year, I got an extra special one that came with bronchitis AND pneumonia at the same time.
    So I left you a message on your flickr thing about how I really REALLY need some of your gorgeous yarn. details, please!
