Crazy Busy
Okay, I'm going to try and do a real post.....sort of. It's been crazy busy here and I'm running in "warp speed" mode to try and keep up with stuff so I don't get so far behind. Here's a quick and dirty run down!
* I sold my picker and can now order the fine cloth Fancy Kitty carder!!! Yes, I know I already have one but it's medium cloth and doesn't do fine batts with fleece as well as I would like. Can't have to many fiber tools!!
* I got the fiber tools up in the Etsy shop though some are pre-order listings because Eric can only make them so fast but we wanted people to get a look at what was possible and if they want one they can order it and he'll start on it right away.
*The website has been changed around a bit and I've added The Store (handspun yarn, fiber, tool cases, bags, etc) and Wool Combs & Hackles pages where people can pre-order fiber tools for about 10% less than what they are listed on Etsy.
*Finished more bags, cut more fabric, and now have a huge knot in my left shoulder. Still hunting for the heating pad but the bags are coming out well. I've got tons more fabric to cut and a million color combinations in my head.......don't worry, there's plenty of room since there's nothing else up there at the moment.
*I was approved to be a retailer for Greener Shades dye which is a fabulous non-toxic chrome free acid dye...now I just have to come up with enough $ to make the hefty initial order
* I finished my acrylic stash busting afghan
*I finished Katies' split toe socks
*The kids helped clean the house yesterday......it took all day and I had to empty the vacume cannister 3x's...it looked like I sucked up small rodents there was so much fluff in there from carding and combing
*Got 2lbs of absolutely gorgeous Huacaya mahogany colored alpaca fleece washed.....Eric loves this stuff. It's super soft and he loves the natural reddish brown color
*Alex got all A's on his 2 benchmark tests at school....he was very proud of himself ;) He was also 1 of 5 kids in his grade to get 100% on his algebra sol........he said his teacher was so happy he thought she was going to grab him and kiss him.
* Katie got an A on her social studies test and she thinks she got an A+ on her book report/project.......she said her teacher pulled her aside and told her how impressed he was with her artwork (project portion of the report) and that she should go to art school when she gets older. Eric and I already knew this but for her to hear it from her teacher was a major boost for Katie.
*Everyone is sick of snow........we still have some snow in the yard from before Christmas and now it has a inch of ice on top of it. Lovely.
*The whole family is loving some old black and white Alfred Hitchcock movies Eric got super cheap at Walmart. They're almost as good as the 1950's Sherlock Holmes TV shows in black and white.....they're my favorite.
* I haven't heard back from Interweave Crochet yet about my bag and I'm going nuts. I think I will break down on Monday and email Toni just to make sure she got it okay........I hate bugging people.
Okay, I need to take a shower and do some more sewing.

The Caddy Sax Has Left The Building
Well, I messaged Toni and figured out all the info she needed for the bags, made the bag, and shipped it today. I'm sure it took me twice as long to make this bag as it normally would.......I'm a wreck. A happy wreck, but still a wreck. Keep your fingers crossed for me...I'm still not sure if the bag will be in the Spring 2010 issue of Interweave Crochet or if it's one of many items that they will pick from for the Noteables page. I guess I should have asked but I hate to pester people.......I know it drives me up the wall. Katie helped me decide on the final fabric combination for the bag to send in. She said this one "pops"! It's much prettier in person and the vintage fabric used for the pockets is gorgeous.......unfortunately, it's also pretty much gone. I think I have enough left for a small pocket on a needle case. This is the downside of using vintage fabric found at estate sales.....there's never enough left to make yourself something. Okay, here's a sneek peak for all 3 of you who read my blog ;) What do ya think?
