Finished!

Posted on June 8, 2007 by | Comments Off on Finished!

That scarf for my daughter turned out so well that I’m thinking I’ll try making a hat and mittens to go with it. I have more than enough of the yarn I’m using (some Red Heart Soft that I picked up on clearance at Wal-Mart, figuring I’d find something to do with it), so why not?

One of the things I’m slowly learning is that it’s ok to try things out. Sometimes they turn out well and sometimes they don’t, but if they don’t, it’s OK. Really. This is a bigger leap for me than it should be, but it’s how I’ve always been. I’m just not a fan of doing things I don’t already know I can totally rock. *shrug*

That’s pretty much all I got done yesterday, since I spent a decent portion of the day on the latest round of automotive follies, but I’m thrilled with it. Pictures to come after the next time I find the silly camera cable.

Bits of this and bits of that…

First, let me note that it was 90 ever-lovin’ degrees here today, which was just not cool at all. I really need to find my window unit and get it installed if summer’s really started.

Not really anything of note in the project category. I made a funky bookmark that I don’t think worked out at all. I’m working on a toy design idea that’s promising in early going.

One of the things that frightens me a little about the possibility of doing this as a business is the reliance I’d be forced to have on the postal system. We seem to have developed this weird sporadic problem with mail just not getting to us. Normally, it’s a bill here and a bill there that mysteriously go missing, which is a big enough deal because without bill in hand, it won’t get paid. Now a check that should have been here already is not, and it’s about to turn an automatic payment I can’t stop into electronic rubber. *sigh*

I started a Flickr account for my crochet exclusively, but I haven’t had a chance to sort through and upload pictures yet. The Great Motherboard Disaster of ’07 resulted in the loss of my favorite photo editing program for the moment, so I’ve been really slow to deal with my recent pics. Soon, soon.

I’ve also really got to fix this site up a bit…you know, like get all crazy and include actual content in the sidebar, lol. Soon, too.
