Well what have I been up to. Not too much really. I tried to go to school but that did not pan out. I started but then had to take a leave of absence until January. Everything for a reason right? So I have dealt with that for the past couple of weeks and now things are getting back to normal. So what am I working on.......
Handmade Fimo clay stitch markers. Cool Huh?
Oh this. Well I tried to make a poodle. Keats saw this kit at Target and asked me to get it to make it for her. I did and I did. I was watching a show and this is what happened. I sewed the ears on the bottom of the head so that is upside down and backwards then I sewed the head to the butt, and upside down at the bottom of the butt not the top. Then I sewed the tail to the bottom of the head part so that instead of sticking up it is hanging down. After that I put it aside and called it a night. I tried to take the sewing out but with this type of yarn you cannot see the stitches so I could not get it off without cutting it off and afraid to do that as so to unravel the whole thing. LOL. I blame it on the fact that my little purple accessory bag with all my notions in it is gone. GONE. I got home from this last trip to NJ and I have not seen it since. I had it there and now I cannot find it. My sis says she did not find it in her house either so I do not know what happened to it. All my Chibi's my cable needles my Kacha counter my fave DPN's everything even my Lantern Moon sheepy tape measure. SOB!!! I am so lost. On top of that remember the 15 cables a panel sweater for my SIL well the Katcha counter was keeping track of my rows and now that I cannot look at it I don't know where I am row wise and have not worked on the sweater at all. On top of that I am almost done with the second river rapid sock but do not want to finish it as my chibi's and needle threaders are in that bag too and I cannot bear to kitchner with anything else. SOB!!! Hence the making stitch markers and not really knitting. The poodle came with all necessities in the kit even the needles so that was really why I tackled that.
The upside down backwards sewed to the butt head with out support. LOL way too funny.
BTW not that anyone needs to know or actually be told but I totally am so very stupid. I was getting out of moms truck wearing flip flops and caught my right foot big toe nail on her door and ripped it off. Wanna talk about pain. OMG. This is where the stupid part comes in. What am I upset about, crying about, hurt about. The fact that I ruined my pedicure and now my toes look funny. Plus it will take forever for the nail to grow back and look good and I won't be able to have a decent pedicure for months. Stupid right. But this is me and I like my feet and I like my feet to look pretty. So this really hurts me knowing that I have now have an ugly nasty deformed toe that will take forever to look right. I am so stupid Not to mention such a GIRL.
