still alive!

even those these scary dinosaurs were after me last weekend. Look how they lick their lips....
Been trying to get a few more things up on etsy this week -I bought a showcase spot in the pet section. I'm curious if it will actually turn into any more sales..... We'll find out! I managed to finish up the dinosaur pattern I started months ago - although according to my amazing proofreader (yes it's steph who else) it is FULL of typos. I still haven't bothered to check them myself.
You see - along with the etsy thing and my day job the dictator has had pneumonia this week. I tried my best to play nurse for him. He has managed to survive and hopes to be back at work on Monday. Thank goodness it isn't contagious.
Anyways - I'm going to run upstairs to try and sew a few more things that I can post tomorrow morning once my showcase spot starts. I really need daylight for photographs otherwise I'd add more tonight still....
So if anyone wants to spend money they don't have feel free to spend it on me!

heh heh

Happy New Year's Everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still have to take pictures of some of my Xmas projects but here is a first attempt....

I have not started the second sock as I managed to break 3 of 6 needles one the first one. Perhaps bamboo sock needles are not the best choice for me. We drove to Nelson and Castlegar several times too look for more needles - CAN YOU BELIEVE I COULD NOT FIND A DECENT KNITTING STORE!!!!!!!! Either they weren't open or didn't have small enough needles. Unbelievable.




Special thanks to petra for letting me use her embroidery machine. It looks awesome.

I made a larger hoodie pattern for etsy today. I made it awhile back after measuring a jack russell terrier (named Russell) that came to visit at work one day. Haven't had a chance to test it out much so if any of you out there want to give it a go....... Birdie is modelling the smaller size for me. I was surprised she was so cooperative. She wouldn't let me take an picture inside - and I think she was smart - it was perfect lighting outside by the daisies....
