Did we break Ravelry?

Oh, lord.  I’m going through withdrawal.

whaaaat…?

So many things swimming in my mind.
Sometimes I just don’t know.

  • Raw food diets for my cats? I’m just trying to get them on wet food first.
  • Do I open a shop on etsy?  Do I not?
  • Where should I send all of these hats I’ve made?
  • Time to pick out a new WP theme?
  • I need to win the lottery.
  • Must write down patterns.
  • Must photo work and WIPs.
  • A new camera would be nice.
  • Catalog yarn.  Now.
  • Needles coming out of my ears.
  • Can I get a line of credit at KnitPicks like at the Casinos?
  • Why are recycled/organic/natural (the real kind, not the faked out kind) things so expensive?
  • Will my cats ever get along?
  • Will my brain ever stop working in questions?

mmmmmMMmmmmmm…..

I have to go clean the kitchen now so we can rearrange and I can have my dyeing/sewing station…  : )

Etsy is evil (evil-good!)

I love etsy.

Here’s my new favorite seller:  Lost Mitten.  A lot of their items are made out of those silly kid bead things you melt with an iron to fuse together – no, not those aquadots that kids were eating and having seizures from – the fun ones that are supposed to be non-toxic.  And they even make fun buttons and knitwear – their shop is like one I might create in the future, though I’d be much heavier on the knit and crochet-side.

Take a look!

Lost Mitten\'s Pac-man Coaster set

I must say that the above Pac-man Coaster set is my fave of what I’ve seen from Lost Mitten so far.

Here are a couple more:
For those that remember what mix tapes were: Lost Mitten’s Pink Cassette Tape Business Card holder
For those that spent their childhood attached to their NES:  Lost Mitten’s NES Controller Business Card holder

Cheers!

p.s., if I want to open an etsy shop does this mean that someday I might be evil-good, too?  muah ha ha

This new movie “The Ugly Truth”

I’m going to have to see this movie
Just because of this poster (lit up kind) we saw coming out of “Burn After Reading” (which was another incredibly funny, quirkily truthful, and subtley dark Coen brothers film that everyone should see, now):

OMG - it made me stop in midstep, laugh, and point!

It made me stop in midstep, point, stare and giggle like crazy.  Tee hee hee!
