boy. i have been too exhausted to do anything. i haven’t checked emails. i haven’t updated the site. i haven’t taken the zillions of photos that i need to take, i haven’t done…anything whatsoever. and we all know how much i love getting nothing at all done. i have had a bunch of days that i couldn’t get out of bed, or got up, took a shower and that was all i could manage. it has been not so fun. so that is where i have been. i have severe guilt about not blogging, and i also have severe guilt about just posting my bitching and moaning and nothing fun for you all to look at. i guess i am a bit of a people pleaser that way. i feel like if i don’t have anything to show you, you won’t come over to my bloggy. i have had a few friends that let me know that my maladies got on their nerves and inconvenienced them, and as angry as it made me at the time, i guess i realize that it hurt my feelings and my brain rerouted it as anger at the time. i hate ditching out at the last minute. i hate it so much that i don’t make plans much anymore.
today, i felt a bit better. i cleaned up my studio. we got a new vacuum cleaner that actually picks stuff up! imagine that! our old one just spit stuff out and caused my asthma and allergies to go nutso, so it wasn’t cracked out so often. this new one has a scented filter! how cool is that? so, you wanna see some sick photos of how fiber and dust covered my studio was? this is not for the feint of heart.
this is the point that i had to empty it, about 2 minutes in…
i know. shameful and gross. grody. but kinda cool. like popping a super gross big zit. and…taddaaaa! clean! i even cracked out the brush attachment and dusted the electronics and everything in there. clean!

anyone want to spin up this mess? ew.
i have a bunch of new amigurumi on my flickr. not all have their info added yet, and they will all be for sale, let me know if you want dibs on one.
also, i made this strange little crocheted peak, which jake thought was a penis, and while i know it looks like one, i plan to make more of them to stand in a cluster together. dunno why. a giant one would be awesome. it really would. in the same vein, i think that a tree made similarly would be amazing.
all week i have had strange nightmares. in one, jake left me for reasons he wouldn’t say and became a monk. i couldn’t get to him to even try to talk. this is super not like him. so. in another, this hippy dude had taken all of my spinning fiber and attempted to get “hemp oil” out of it. probably 50 lbs of really nice fiber. i was pissed. why would you get hemp oil out of animal fiber? hmmm.
off to answer emails.
i missed you all and appreciated your interest and concern. it really means a lot to me. barbe and katrina are some incredibly kind broads. love ya guys!
