Filling Boxes

      No Comments on Filling Boxes

I got the earring stock moved to a new box this morning, and then finished making the amount of stock that I wanted to have to hand. So like, there’s over 80 pairs of earrings? I sincerely doubt I’ll get through all of them at the fete, but I’m kind of proud of myself for getting goodies made and stashed…. Read more »

Grinding Levels

      No Comments on Grinding Levels

One of my favourite Ctrl+Alt+Del strips of Ye Olden Days was one about Ethan buying  bunch of food with the intention of grinding his cooking skill. That is sort of how I am feeling today, but in earring making. I’ve made over 20 pairs today, and currently plan to continue making more. Z and I talked about it, and we agreed… Read more »

A Bit of Gussy

      No Comments on A Bit of Gussy

Tonight the entire fam is out for a bit of miniature train fun — and free buffet, ha ha. I figured I’d have a bit of fun with my hair, ’cause I can’t remember the last time I braided the front. It’s still pulled back and vaguely tidy rather than hanging loose, but now I have the option! Fancy! ((And… Read more »

Sorting and Shuffling

      No Comments on Sorting and Shuffling

Today has been a good day, more or less. I got some work-work done… maybe not as much as I wanted to, but I’m almost over the hump to where things’ll pick back up. So yanno, hopefully tomorrow will see that happen. I think that it will. I also finally sat down and got my inventory spreadsheet populated. It also… Read more »

Time’s Arrow

Yes, this picture is hilariously unflattering… but I couldn’t resist being a bit cheesy as a bite-back against emotions from 20 years ago spiking up and stabbing me. I was listening to The Cure, and ‘Just Like Heaven’ came on. I’m okay with this song 99.999% of the time… apparently, this time I wasn’t. It dragged back memories of my… Read more »

Ear Candy

      No Comments on Ear Candy

I only got around to trying to make a few bits for the fete this afternoon, and my direction is apparently earrings. I’ve only done the two styles for the moment, but I like them and plan on doing some more in these veins. I’m very exhausted from weather right now. It was the school sports day, so we went… Read more »

Easier, Of Course

      No Comments on Easier, Of Course

For the current pair of socks I am knitting, I finally had to suck it up and learn how to do short rows. I had tried my hand at it previously when I was fiddling with some stuff, but I couldn’t get my head around it. Thankfully, Bill Souza makes really good videos for left-handed people. It was done for… Read more »

More!

I made myself buckle down and get it done, so now all the stitch markers are pricetagged and business cardeded. I ended up redoing one of my first stitch marker efforts because it wasn’t up to snuff, and tweaked the prices down on a few things. Most of it was rounding things down from x.25 to x.00 for general ease… Read more »

Organamasation!

I made a start last night on getting my stitch marker stock price tagged and organised. Looks pretty swish, non? Of course, I had less crochet markers to do by a fair old measure, so I’m going to be at it for a bit for the knit ones. Still, at least getting the bulk of it done this far out… Read more »

A TOTALLY GAY Saga

      No Comments on A TOTALLY GAY Saga

Today has been a drama of waiting. I was waiting for my TOTALLY GAY storage to be delivered. It started out well with useful tracking information, which I kept a vague eye on. So imaging my surprise when it said it had been delivered and signed for. I messaged Z with a rather florid string of curses, and proceeded to… Read more »
