And I'd love to send her money, but this month has to be all about saving up for the move.

Hopefully once we get to New York and I've built up more stock of crafts (crochet and knit things, giant-scale "bead" work, jar candles using Frappucino bottles, etc.), I can save for a stall at a craft fair, or at the PX during the holiday season. It's nice to know that sites like kickstarter.com are out there to help fund creative enterprises like Tiffany's, and someday mine. :)

This is a short bit I made before going whole-hog just to make sure I could do it. It takes more strength than using regular yarn, and I'd have to rest my hands more often, but it's totally do-able. :D


And this is how it starts: cut up strips of plastic bags (these are from Wally World, I'll do balls of every color I have--the green Barnes & Noble bags should make nice accents), twist them, knot them. I didn't cut off the extra "yarn" because I thought it'd be a nice accent for...whatever I wind up making.


I'm also making this hat that I found via Ravelry, out of yarn left over from Fizzy's Blankiezilla and from yarn of the same kind (Lion Brand Hometown USA, and there are more colors now! Go out and buy it and make Lion Brand keep stocking it! If you crochet you'll need a K hook. That's usually the gray plastic one.) from another project that never really got started.

I haven't done more on the Book Paring Down Of Doom since my last post, but I do intend to finish it. But even if I keep everything that's currently left, I'll still have made a huge dent. :)

ETA: You can see the Waldo Hat in the corner of that second pic!

Hi, I'm going door to door educating Christians about evolution

We have charts & graphs to back us up so fuck off

Imagine how much of a stimulus package it would be if rich people paid taxes

P.S. Have I mentioned my crochet blog, The Experimental Hooker? And do you think I should change the name before anyone else sees it? :P

They're here!

Here's what they look like:

Hai all. I'm still trying to have a business from home, selling crafts at my Etsy shop. I'm gonna keep the old shop since it's already got good feedback on it, and add these:



( three more )

So, my question to you, my friends and anyone else who feels like putting their two cents in...

1. Do you think you or someone you know would like one of these?
2. How much do you think would be a good price?
3. Which do you like best and why?
