This was my first thought. It would be like a stuffed animal or fiber sculpture, knit and then needle-felted to give it a "fuzzy" look. Charley's already given me his blessing to use his design! :)


This one would be just a fiber sculpture; it's kind of an "easy" knit and depending on how much time I have after knitting Christmas presents, I would like to tackle it as well.


Urg. I really want to do this. I have it in my head as a sculpture consisting of knit phoneline poles with yarn wires, and needle-felted birds and the cat. Maybe for next year on this one.


No, I wasn't planning on knitting all of these critters, but I thought about trying to make my evil jelly sandwich.


This is another "are you kidding me?" possibility. I want to do this. I think it could be done and made flat, like a small rug, using i-cords. We'll see.


No idea how I'd do this. No freaking clue.


Fun i-cord wormies and a knit-then-felted bird.

This slogan, as a scarf. I'd like the pant legs to be like the "front" of the scarf, hanging down on the chest, with the waistband and fire hanging down in the back.

This slogan, as a few things; maybe a potholder, with the word "potholder", in quotes, knitted into the front, things like that.

This slogan, made into a knit kitten, inside a separate knit "stomach".]]> Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:22:52 -0600 gander!



Hope this is okay to post. :)]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 10:22:10 -0500 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 21:08:55 -0500 My Etsy shop has some fun Halloween hutches (miniature-sized!); take a look!!! :)]]> Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:53:43 -0500
As a brief background, here's what's been happening; back in June my mother-in-law (whom I'm very close with and lives right across the street) heard from a COMPLETE STRANGER that Brent and I were getting a divorce. That stranger heard it from an antiques dealer the next town over. We don't know the dealer, either, though we know of the antiques store. We laughed it off, considering we've been together 15 years and friends for 17, and we're closer to each other than any other couple we know personally.

In July, we found out that an agent in his insurance office had been cheating on her husband of 25 years with a claims guy (who is also married). For the sake of ease, let's call her Jane and her husband John. Claims guy is just Claims guy because he's not that important. Jane blindsides John with "I'm leaving you for this wonderful Claims guy whom I've been having a sordid affair with right under your nose". John is devastated, Jane leaves to shack up with Claims guy (whose wife is... moved out? Gone to her mother's? I dunno).

Life goes on. The weird part about Jane and John is that they live right across the cul-de-sac from our good friends, Tom & Ava (their real names LOL). John is frequently talking with Tom about how horrible things are. Cut to last night; Brent came home and since our daughters were outside playing, he said, "Hey, wanna hear something funny?" This type of question usually leads to office-based hilarity where we get to pick on one of his co-worker buddies. Instead, I got, "Apparently I've been sleeping with Jane!"

Don't get me wrong; I KNOW Brent would never do anything like this, and Jane isn't exactly... well, I don't care much for the way I look, but she's somewhat... undesirable to most dudes (thinks she's hot but is rather large and dresses like a teenie-bopper). So, this IS something rather laughable. But when I ask who told him this lovely bit of information, he tells me Tom told him, and JOHN told Tom. John continued to defame Brent by saying "That asshole slept with my wife" and other untruths; Tom tried to back him off, stating that not only was that not in Brent's nature, but that if it had happened Tom would've been the first person Brent would have told. John then moved on to other guys in the office.

My husband isn't a "public figure" in that he's the mayor or whatever, but he's well-known in the farming community because he farms, and well-known in the business community because of his expertise in insurance with highly-rated customer feedback. I'm freaking PISSED that John, who knows Brent (John and Jane came to our annual 4th of July party last year), would slander the hell out of him and the other guys in the office and possibly damage their reputations. Why didn't he just whine about his soon-to-be ex-wife, who was OBVIOUSLY THE ONE AT FAULT?



Brent was upset with himself for telling me after I got angry; I'm not mad at him, obviously. He and I are always good; I just want people to leave us the hell out of their retarded gossip that they pull out of their asses.


If you read all of this, you are a superhero. I'm way too wordy. But I had to put it all down before I lost my mind.]]> Fri, 02 Oct 2009 08:16:46 -0500
So as some of you are aware, my little sis got married in June of 2006 and was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November of the same year. One ovary had to be removed, and she is now in remission (will be three years in May). Her hubby had a little son from a previous marriage and so they weren't intending to try for a child of their own for a couple years anyway, and they started being intentionally "careless" about six months ago. Two weeks ago she called me and excitedly told me she was preggers, but it was way early (like 5-6 weeks), so she was only telling me and my parents and her in-laws (plus two close friends). She wanted to pass that 12-week mark before announcing it fully.

Yesterday my dad emailed me, telling me she was lightly spotting, and she had called the doc's office. She went in for an ultrasound with my mom at 1:30. They said she should've been around 8 weeks but the sac measured more in the range of 4-6 weeks, which was way underdeveloped. Due to the pregnancy being so early, the heartbeat couldn't be detected (usually happens at 10 weeks), so they had to draw blood for lab tests, which I'm sure will be an agonizing wait all weekend.

I don't WANT her to go through this. What, it wasn't enough that a 26-year-old amazing person had to have ovarian cancer 5 months after her wedding, lose an ovary, be told pregnancy might not be possible, get pregnant, and lose it??? Why? Why do all the ghetto trash, welfare-hogging, morons out there get to have piles of babies left and right, when my amazing sister gets kicked in the ass and slapped in the face?

World, you can go fuck yourself. ]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 10:03:30 -0500 trefsyui and uynoplsd
