Knitting galore
















This here is a scarf I started working on that I was plannin on giving to my sister since her favorite color is green but I cant get the sides to stop from curling in so I kinda gave up on the scarf and ill try the design again later once I figure out how to make the scarf look good. It actually reminds me of an old school high school varsity jersey. I'm thinking i might [when I get way better] make one sweater to go with this scarf design and wear them together. It would be tottaly cute... haha or at least i think so.



So last night I finished the neck warmer thing. And I really like it, I think I'm going to make one for my crafty swap. Anyway, I'm working on a little simple belt to go with it which I am hoping I will finish tonight so I can wear it all tomorrow. Unfortunately I think ill have to wait until next Tuesday cause I have a LOT of homework that I have to do.

In additon im thinking I might make a few of these and sell them on etsy. Do you think they are worthy of selling/ buying?

THEN!! im also working on a purple Beret, but I'm having a hard time doing it so i dont think ill finish that anytime soon. If I do and I get good at it ill make some and try to sell them.
I really need money for my crafts [and most importantly school] OH OH OH, i saw this sewing machine at the store the other day for 140 dollars and im SO going to save up to get it. I really wish fabric wasnt so expensive though.

Anyway, Taa-taa for now, I really need to work on my homework.

Swap swap swap, buttons, ribbons and books

Okay, NEWS FLASH!! Oh wait its more like a simple update. So first off I have sent out three of my swaps. Two of them yesterday morning and one the day before. They would have all been sent out on.. Monday if the silly mail man would have picked up the mail. BUT NO!! Anyway, I guess I should add some pictures of what the other two swaps are.











Okay for the Newbie profile surprise swap I got my partner some books for her and her son and some ribbon, cardstock, buttons, and brads. I really hope she likes is.



Then for my ribbons and buttons swap I gave my partner two extra 3 yards of ribbon and six matching buttons for each instead of three. She said she likes purple and black so those are the colors I choose and I made the little thing for the ribbons myself.

I cant wait till she gets them and tells me what she thinks.

Then today I sent my blog swap buddies a link to my blog and Im hoping they will come and watch my blog.

Swap partners: I hope you like my blog :]

Next post will be about some of my knitting projects, I actually finished one that I like!! :]

Button swap & New Yarn




















Button swap mail to the rescue!! WHOOO!! Okay, so I know I had planned to put all of her buttons in a cute little box that I mad; but i've been moving and I dont have the time to go to the post office, and since I want her to get her swap asap, im sending everything in an envalope. Plus this way its easy to include the note and I added two red cardstock cards for her to make cards with.

I really really really hope she likes it. I tried to write cute nice stuff on the back so that when she looks, it will make her smile. Or at lest thats the plan. I mean, who doesnt like seeing something nice in the mail other then bills....

Tomorrow im ganna put it in the mail box and hopefully the mail man will pick it up :]











ALSO, i got some really nice yarn for like two bucks each and some new knitting needles to go with 'em. I got three for me and one for my sister. Im ganna make her a nice scarf with it. Unfortunatly I still need to go to beverlys to get the yarn I was using for the scarf I was already making.

Oh well.

Im ganna go try to make something.
