A lot behind :/

I'm catching up on emails and postings and patterns and...

Ok, it's been a long weekend. Seriously. After having dealt with Joe being sick (and now giving his stupid black plague to me) all weekend, apparently this was the best time for Galen to decide that he is going to be Godzilla every time I'm on the floor. (Ok, not Godzilla. Some sort of wrestler. No, we don't watch WWE in this house.) I'm tired, I'm sore, and, dammit, I just want my throat to not be sore. And, I'd kind of like my voice to go away.

So, catching up on emails today. Sorry for being incommunicado. Hopefully, I'll have the patterns mostly written by the end of the day. *le sigh*

4 New Items

That's right! 4 new items are going live in the morning. Most of them are old photos, re-edited, but they're still good photos :) All I really have to do is write the item descriptions, but THAT is the part that takes the longest. I am NOT an ad-writer, by any stretch of the imagination. I have friends in Marketing, and, frankly, I envy their talent, lol. I can't winningly describe the stuff I make, which is sad.

Anyway, it's 12 after midnight here. I am off to bed!

So, I finally get a minute to update the store...

And Big Cartel goes down. *sigh*

In other news, almost finished writing out the pattern for the cosplay hat, just have to type it all up into a PDF and upload it.

More hours in the day, plz?

I wish I were a photographer.

I wish I had access to a baby.

Because, really, a cabbage patch doll does NOT do this justice.

But, it'll do.

These were meant to be uploaded last night. Right now, it's on its way to its destination as a present :)

I used to imagine Detroit smelled of coneys. Now I know better.

I don't have the energy to make much of an update. So, Hi.

I spent all day (starting at 9:30am!!!) starting in the first line to SIGN MY NAME and then sit down until my name was called. By the time I was able to sign up for classes, my one elective was full. And I didn't even pick it (the hell do I need Intro to Theater for when my major is PSYCHOLOGY???). So I'm just going to take either another psych class or Japanese. Because all the other fun classes are taken.

But, this was literally my day:

Wake up, feed the Little Chief.
Get into the van, drive to Detroit.
Get to the school, start in the line that snaked around the inside of the building.
10 minutes into line standing, the A/C in the building goes out.
Lots of complaining between myself and about 5 other people in line about how freaking long this is taking, and, really, can't SOME of this be done online?
Galen complaining, and Joe walking him around campus so I don't lose my place in line.
This is where I realize I left my wallet at home.
Sent Joe home to get it.
I FINALLY got to the part of the line that was cordoned off with rope.
I get to the desk, and SIGN MY NAME. It took 2 hours to get to this point.
Now, I get to go sit in the common area, which is also the area around which the line snakes.
At this point, it's almost noon. I figure, I'll be called soon. I was, but it was for financial aid. It is here I find out that they haven't even looked at the paperwork I submitted. 2 months ago. **Headdesk**
Go back, sit down.
Waste battery so Galen can watch Phineas and Ferb on my phone.
FINALLY get called to talk to my student advisor...
Who decides my classes for me, gives me the sidelong glances, and doesn't attempt to answer any of my questions.
Then, he sends me across the campus to have them input his decisions into the computer. One of my classes is full, I have to pick another.
At this point, it's almost 7pm. I joke with the people around me that most of the people I had talked to in the morning had already gone home. We all make jokes about the security guard who has decided that in order to be served, we need to play musical chairs.
After finding out my class is full, I ask if I can come back. Idea is a go, and I freaking leave.

Oh, and look at this. I fell asleep at the computer. Keyboardface!

Goodnight internet. I'll make something pretty tomorrow.

Crafting from afar...

Today is the day our craft group gets together, and I'm not there. It was supposed to be here, but a whole host of things went wrong.
Anyway, Galen's got a fever, so I'm here. I had been working on finishing the cosplay hat pattern, but, well...yeah. Crocheting the same rounds over and over is beyond boring. So, I changed it up a little.




Here is Baby Wrap 1. 24", square, and freaking soft as bunny fur. Ok, so it IS Angora. Which is combed rabbit fur (usually gathered in the same humane way wool is).
This is about half the size it's going to be. Which means, I need to put the phone down, pick up the hook and yarn, and get back to "I Saw The Devil", because I couldn't handle "Insidious". Feel free to laugh.

What I did during the heatwave

So, I broke a plastic hook. On the last of some really CRAPPY acrylic yarn.



I made a racoon hat with some super bulky Lion Brand yarn my mom gave me a few years ago. I do believe I'm gonna make a listing for it :)




I got some pretty great baby bath shots, none of which are nekkid.



I used a LOT of my scrap stash to start a blanket. I still have a way to go.



And, the Little Chief and I managed to actually get a tan at my mother in law's pool.

Also, NONE of the yarn sold, so I'm going to make and list some Ready To Ship stuff with it. So, keep an eye out in the next few weeks!!
