You know you have it bad when, instead of studying before class, you sit in your car in your college's parking lot and spin yarn.

............ Sigh. I'm getting a little frustrated trying to juggle many things at once. I have a ton of schoolwork coming up. I'm scared of not doing well. Especially in Algebra class!

But- I just sold 2 pairs of earrings. I finally sold the vintage mustard ones which I upcycled!!! I am rather excited.

Rachel and I have been crafting, Candice and I have been also crafting regularly!!

I'm in the cafeteria right now, looking at prices on my laptop of crockpots. Rachel taught me how to dye fiber the other day! We tried to dye it neon green and dark purple, but it ended up being just neon green. I love it though! It's lovely.
I have become frustrated with not having anymore shells to work with. I hope I somehow find some soon!

Seashells.

I am really really really needing some old seashells with natural holes in them.
Ugly ones are good.
Does anyone have any? I'd be glad to buy them off of you or take them off your hands!

Also I really enjoy these shells:

Etsy Ain't Workin'.

It just ain't.
WHY!
I WANT TO LOOK AT PHOTOGRAPHYYYYY WITH splatters all over it.

New Experimental Yarn!

I spun some really delicate yarn that reminds me of Dr Seuss.





i'm sort of afraid to knit with it. i tend to be a little rough with my yarn when i knit!

and.... the most amazing headband came in the mail today. from none other than the lovely miss raimbowtree.etsy.com!!
check it out!:

It's my birthday :]

My boyfriend just wrote, "happy birthday, butthole." on my myspace.

How endearing.


TODAY I spun yarn with cofygirl.etsy.com 's wool scrap pack. I might call it chunky dr seuss yarn because it reminds me of just that!
I also played a massive game of Rummikub with my grandfather, mom, and aunt after my birthday dinner which included JEWISH KUGEL and RASPBERRY APPLESAUCE JELLO!

A lift of the spirits!

So for a little over a week, I had made 3 hats and sold 0!
I obsessed over knitting the Cherry Hum Bohobo Hat yesterday.. it is GORGEOUS! I am so excited about it. It's reds and pinks with DARK BLACK.... and it sold a little over 10 minutes after I posted it! That made my day.
Today I ship out 2 more hats as well- a custom order for Miles, and a custom order for Sarah!
I received 2 more messages of interest in custom hats, but I haven't heard anything as far as color goes.


Here is the Cherry Hum:


I also never heard back from the greeting card woman for the 1000 Greeting Cards book.
But here is my entry:



And here are some random pictures to ease the mind (one of my Boo and one of his Kitty):

February has ended :) & it's almost my birthday

So Dandon told me that he was going to make me dinner tonight!! WELL, little did I know that he had been planning a surprise birthday party (MY FIRST Surprised Bday Party EVER!!!) for the past few weeks! All the band boys of Lucy and their girlfriends (Lucy is Dandon's Christian Band) were able to come.. People like Chris, Meghan, and Julia were unable to make it unfortunately :( BUT it was still so amazing and fun!!!!!!


This is my man :) I thought I looked so crappy, I totally was not prepared for a surprise!!


These are my GIRLS! They are fellow Etsians.. Katie is working on bringing her site back. She has 2 jobs and is planning a wedding! Candice is SO inspiring with her gorgeous creations. She always has such awesome new ideas. I LOVE crafting with both of these girls.


Have you seen these boots in my shop??! They are so fun!


I'm becoming really infatuated with handspun yarn:




Here is a fun little hat!:
