Thrift Store Finds

Some of my goodies from our thrift store outing this presidents day

I'm not sure why the crochet hooks have the curves but I had to get them anyway :)

Okay I know the plants aren't from any thrift store but we had to go to the co-op and I couldn't resist the bunny tails :) 

and lastly, here are some of the gifts my fiancee and I exchanged for V-day

The fiddlers were from him, the smart ass embroidery was from me :) {pattern available soon}

Tertius on the left and Primus on the right {in case you haven't just recently watched the movie or read the book Stardust, that's where I got the names for all of my Crabs [the other's are Ditchwater, Thorne, and Septimus]}

Introducing Septimus

Our newest Crab, he's quite a love and likes to walk in circles around your hand until you're both dizzy :)

And a real quick list of my current projects:

1. Re working all of my patterns (layouts, better photos make sure there aren't any errors, etc.)

2. I'm working up a yeti pattern

3. finishing touches on my first few embroidery patterns (three I think :)

4. packaging up my daughter's v-day care package (last minute I know, thankfully for a small fortune it can be overnighted to arrive only one day late)

5. crocheting up a little heart plushie for previously mentioned care package (pattern will be available for free here on V-day

6. dropping dead from exhaustion :)

My new space and some more little critters

So things are settling down a bit here, and I thought I'd take a minute to show you my new (very tiny) craft space :) It's not finished yet but it's perfectly functional.I plan on making pockets for the curtain/divider and making curtains for the window. There are also a few things I need to hang on the wall, plus I really want to make myself a small braided rug for the area.

And I started some seeds that I will plant outside my window when it gets warm, along with my pretty new hummingbird feeder. :) I'm so excited for spring XD


The big one is a girl, her name is Ditchwater and the little one is Thorn. If you look closely Ditchwater has her legs on the shrimp, she won't eat it but she won't let Thorn have it so he pouts. :)
