Today in OKC

I'm going to stop by the Plaza, but I won't be able to stay long because I'll be painting my house!!!

This is the picture from the listing. I'll take actual pictures while I'm there today. The trees are full and pretty right now. Today is painting day. I'll also share paint colors as well.

10 days ago... really?

My last post  was 10 days ago... wow. In my defense, I have been going crazy with house stuff and school and a new job.  So here's the big news...

Packing has been happening because, I close in less than a week on my house!!!! Can you believe it? I'm not posting pictures yet, because I'm afraid of jinxing it and something bad happening. So I will just tell you that next Saturday, if everything goes through, I will be giving you the grand tour of my new place and showing you my ideas for decorating it. I seriously already have paint colors picked out and everything. I am really excited!

In crafting news, I am actually doing stuff. I've been on a crochet kick this week and have been making hats. Mods on the Divine hat to be exact. I really like this pattern. It is fun to crochet and is crazy fast. I'm working on a headwrap for a friend out of it right now as well.

I'm also working on a cabled hat pattern. I'm working on the second one now and will post it as soon as this one is finished (the pattern is already done. I'm just making sure the chart is right).

And now for the grand unveiling of the progress of my handspun scarf...

I don't know if I'll be able to give this one away. It is supposed to be for Gypsy's birthday which was August 30th. I just love how this pattern looks with this yarn.

So, I don't know if I'll post before Saturday, but know if there is lots of squeeing in the plurk box to the left on Friday, I will have closed without a hitch.  Everyone have a wonderful week!!!

Cupcake Hats Going strong

I went to ravelry to check out my Have a cupcake hat stats, and I discovered two hats on the project page that weren't mine.  Have a looksie... They are sooo cute! I am very impressed with the different color choices. When I wrote the pattern I envisioned a bunch of different amazingly unique hats and that is what is happening. Keep it up people!

For those of you around Oklahoma City. I will be at Live on the Plaza this Friday night selling yarn and jewelry and whatnot. I'm excited, it is always a fun event with good music and great handmade goods to buy.

The new job is going great! I really love it. It is very stressful at times, but I know I will get my timing down and things will get much easier.

School may kick my butt this year. I have so much on my plate and I alwasy let that be at the bottom of my list. Perhaps I should move it up this year?

Oops I must go... Bella just woke up. Time for mommy to put on pants and let her out. I hate mornings. Where is my coffee?

Etsy is up!!!

Craftyminxfiber.etsy.com is now open for sales!!! Right now, I just have the yarn listed, but I will be listing fiber today.
