Wisdom and the Lack there of

Well the last couple of weeks have been nonstop busy. I've been working like crazy, barely anytime for my knitting and crocheting and then bam...I get my wisdom teeth pulled. I thought I might be a little tired but I could get a bunch of stuff churned out. HA HA I didn't plan on being a big wussie and reacting to the pain meds negatively, migraines and swollen tongue weren't on the side effects listed. Therefore I have many projects I started and then the side effects kicked in and I was down for the count each time. I have slept off the migraine 4 times today, each time it came back but its bearable right now. I am currently hoping that the bathroom my husband just painted will be dry so that I can mark that off our list, even though I didn't really help at all because I was out of commission. Hopefully tomorrow will be the conclusion of all this nonsense because I have work bright and early on Tuesday.

Yippies and uh ohs

Yay I'm featured in an awesome etsians blog!!!! She goes by the name of The High Plains Knitter. Her blog is awesome you should check it out! http://thehighplainsknitter.blogspot.com/

On the yippy/uhoh note I was, no lie, 3 inches away from finishing my newest clutch that I'm totally syked about, and plink my machines sewing needle is sitting next to the bag on the thread....poo. Now I have to find some Kenmore needles. Anybody know someone? I'm going to post a picture of the new bag, which will be in my shop, but it may be a few days.

My first hand dyeing yarn experience

So I have been working on my first felting project and I broke all the needles before I finished it(I'll have pictures when I finish). So in the down time I thought I would finally try hand dyeing with Kool Aid. I have been putting this off for a while, not because I didn't want to but, because I was afraid of the time it took. I had decided in the down time from needle felting that I need light blue sky so I picked up some wool, that I had wrapped into a small skein, and picked a light blue Kool Aid. I went to town trying to get the dye to yarn ratio the way I wanted it and I think it came out awesome. I had so much fun doing it! I am no longer afraid and I can't wait to dye my own yarn that I hand spun on a drop spindle my husband made! Which reminds me I need to buy some roving. Here are the pictures.

Autumn is Coming! Main treasury
