Life takes time

So I haven't posted in over a month because I'm still floundering in my new role as live in girlfriend at my boyfriends mom's house. A true sign of our crap economy, I have given up my independence and in some cases my free will in order to have a roof over my head. I've never been good at doing what I'm told. But I have still been industrious (helps keep my mind off the more unpleasant things). I've made up a few halloween patterns, made a pleathora of mini mushrooms with more to come. And a few things that are not crochet as well. Here's a look at what I've gotten done so far.
Halloweenies :) both patterns are available at my etsy shop, just click the photo to go there.
These were all made with my Amanita pattern found at my shop, click the photo to go there
Magic beans I made for a friend, I plan on making enough of these to use as counters in mancala

A little Halloween Ornamentation
A baby Squid, Pattern coming soon
A needle book I made for my boyfriend

Long time no post

SO I have had a crazy hectic couple of weeks, sorry about the lack of posting. I moved my B/F down here only to find he'd rather be up north, so we packed up and moved yesterday (well everything but me til monday) I've got a new pattern up in my shop

and I'm working on halloween stuff soon, so check back in a week or two and if there isn't anything new on here I give you my permission to poke me with a big stick :)

Summer Slow Down, and Speed up

With the gorgeous weather we've been having I've been spending more of my time away from the internet, I apologized for the stuttering posts. But rest assured that I am working my sunburned little bum off. I've an idea in the works for a comic book/crochet pattern crossover and some new patterns floating around waiting to get made. And then there is the print shop I plan on opening on Etsy, just as soon as i figure out the best way to do that :) Until then, here's a sneak peak at the comic crossover.

Meet Flap jack. He joined the evil army of cute creatures two years ago, but thanks to an accident it sewing phase, he's still not potty trained. Flap jack only has 6 tentacles so he's not an octopus or a squid, please don't call him one ( he has a complex). Loyal as a dog and not quite as smart, Flap Jack is always fun to have around the house, but he's ruined more than one evil plan. We leave him at home now with a baby sitter.

Play Food

Just that. Life is Crazy, things are all over the place and I couldn't be happier. It's been a while since i posted anything but I'll have something for you soon. Until I'll sending some of my happy your way.

I am such a naughty girl

I have total neglected my blog and most other aspects of my life right now for days (darn those cute boys) anyway I'm here and hopefully back in the swing of things. I put a new pattern up on my etsy a few days ago> Sleepy Owl

And right now I'm working on a baby dinosaur series first up is Oliver, here's what I've got so far

Market Bag Pattern Available Now!

At last after days of distraction and just plain laziness I have finished the pattern, worked out all the kinks (knock on wood) and now have a shiny new listing on at my etsy shop for these gorgeous and super fun bags.
This picture just makes me laugh, we have almost no food in the house right now, and our local market was closed so in order to illustrate it's holding capacity i used open cereal boxes and spotty bananas....needless to say I did not use this photo on my etsy listing :)

What goes around comes around

One day after my first ever feature here, I myself was feature on one of my favorite blogs: One Pretty thing. I was so excited I took a screen shot (and if you look real close you can see the tab open on my browser showing me how to ) here it is.
