Uber Excited!

I applied last month for a position at Erica's, a local craft store to teach crochet.  Well, I just got a call that they want me to come in for an interview this week!  I have to bring in some items that I have crocheted and they want to go over what they want taught crochet wise.  In other words, sounds like I am a strong candidate for the position.  Now I just have to wait for them to call me so that we can arrange the interview!  :D

Well, I have set up my own Etsy shop where items that I make are going to be up for sale.  ^^

Awesome News!

I have some stuff that I had sewn at a local consignment shop.  A lady saw it and asked who had made it.  She is looking for somebody to work on costuming for her variety show, and called me!  So now, I'm waiting for her to call me sometime next week to find out more and to find out a good time to come over next week to see the costumes.

Adding even more to my already full work load....

 Well, I made the mistake of checking out a new pattern...Guess what that means, Sarah has a new project on her hands!  It will give me something else to do while I wait to get paid so that I can continue to work on my rug. 

1.  Scarf for my mom
2.  Dishcloth that I am currently working on
3.  Tunic for my cosplay as Link
4.   Rug for use in the future
5.  Crocheted blanket
6.  Knitted blanket
7.  Cross stitch of a butterfly
8.  Crocheted Blooming Flower Cushion (http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/blooming-flower-cushion.html)<-- pattern for cushion

Projects galore

I have so many projects going on, I need to get stuff finished before I start anything new....@.@  Here is a list of what I am working on right now:

1.  Scarf for my mom
2.  Dishcloth that I am currently working on
3.  Tunic for my cosplay as Link
4.   Rug for use in the future
5.  Crocheted blanket
6.  Knitted blanket
7.  Cross stitch of a butterfly

Now I just need to find the time to get all of them finished.  The dishcloth will be the fist to be completed since I am almost done with it.  But I need to figure out what order I am going to do everything else in...><

*Update:  I am finished with the dish cloth, and did an entire other one today.

Latest Project

I have been working on a fun new project.  Well, actually, a LOT of new projects.  Currently, I am working on knitting up dishcloths to give away as Christmas Presents.  :D  I am also working on a blanket for myself, and a nice rug to throw on the floor (which I am crocheting).  Later on, I will post the pattern that I am using for my blanket when I have more of it worked out.  Just to warn you though, it involves using dpns.  I have also completed the hat for my Link costume.  I will be posting a picture as well as a pattern when I have more time.  ~pic is now up~

Been away

I haven't been posting lately due to a variety of issues.  I doubt anybody reads my blog yet anyways to be honest.  However, I am making a vow to write something everyday on this blog with the hope that one day people will be reading it.  :3
