Knit Fast Die Warm

So it seems I've been in quite the knitting mood lately. It's still not really cold down here, but it's getting there. Alabama kind of has a way of stumbling into the winters...I can't tell you how many times I'll use my air conditioner & heater in my car in the same day. One of my buddies on Twitter was interested in a scarf but she's vegan & most of my scarves are acrylic & wool blends. Well, no longer, my friends. Acrylic yarn can be....not so soft, so I was perusing the aisles of Hobby Lobby and lo & behold...bamboo yarn! So goddamn soft. While it's a little steep in price, I think it's totally worth it. I've already made one in this really pretty cream color.

for sale @ my etsy for $35!

I'll definitely be making more bamboo scarves. I just really love the way the yarn feels!

I also made this scarf & I absolutely loved the colors. It was a mix of red & black with nice chunky yarn (my favorite kind!) This one is not bamboo though.

This one has already sold!

I'll probably be knitting up some more scarves soon, so be sure to keep an eye on my Etsy & if you see one that you like, but would like it in a different color or have any other ideas, I welcome custom orders!

Soon I'll be getting back into some needlework. I've been missing embroidery lately! I'm working on a cross stitch custom order for a friend right now so that's keeping my cross stitching desire satiated for the time being :)

New scarves!

I've made 3 new scarves for the ol' Etsy shop! Guess what? They're also on sale! Only $15...stock up for the winter!




And don't forget, my cross stitch sale ends Wednesday! There's still lots of great items left. Here's some of my faves

only $12.50 till Wednesday!!

The last remaining section of the Christian Bale rant, only $10 till Wednesday!

only $8.50 till Wednesday!!

Today....

My husband & I are celebrating 11 years of friendship, 3 1/2 years of "couple-dom" & 2 years of marriage. I couldn't ask for a better partner in life.

♥
I love you so much, Will!

p.s. I wrote about our 1st anniversary here :)

1st Anniversary Sale!!!

On August 28th, I will officially have had my Etsy shop open for a year! Yep, I made it :) To celebrate I am having a HUGE sale! All of my cross stitches are 50% off!!! Holy shit, that's right! Half off ALL of my cross stitches. You can't beat that with a stick. Also, I'm planning on doing a Twitter giveaway soon too, so if you don't follow me already, there's another reason you should! You can follow me here. It's private, but I accept most requests, unless you're a porntwitterbot haha!

Here are some of the things I'll be selling for half off!


So there you have it! It all starts this Friday, August 28th!

Tattoo flash embroideries

Seems as though I've neglected this blog! I promise it's not on purpose, but life sometimes gets in the way with my blogging I suppose :)

So what's new? My husband & I moved into our new apartment, I've been keeping busy with crafts (of course), and trying to concentrate on building my clientele at the salon..I've been a busy girl!

Shall we get on with the crafts? Let's....

For the past few days I've been busy with a pretty nice sized embroidery. I'm super proud of it although looking at it after it's finished there are a few things I would change, but that's just me being a perfectionist. I don't think it's any secret that I love embroidering tattoo flash, but man I really loved this project. So much satin stitch!

available @ my etsy for $35!

While Will(the hubs) is always complimentary of my work, he seemed especially impressed by this :)

I also did a piece with some color tinting, which I looooove! It really does add a lot to embroidery.

This one I am keeping for myself. Me likes.

And although this last one doesn't really constitute as tattoo flash, it does have tattoo lettering!
I'm not going to say I hate stupid people because, without them, what would there be to entertain me? I will say that I think someone with some intelligence is definitely extremely attractive though, don't you agree?

Yeah, it looks a little dirty. That's because the ink from the brains transfer kinda bled through. A wash & it'll not look...dirty haha.


That's all for now! I have several more projects to post about soon though, so check back. And hey, have you checked out my Etsy store yet? :)
