queeeeeeaaaaseeeee.....
yesterday i had a migraine and then today i couldn't wake up. i had to go to my in-laws' to let the dog out and i hung out with her for a little while before i went home. i was super grumpy and exhausted and i thought i would just sit down and eat a nectarine before i packed up orders. well. i fell asleep at 1:40 pm or so and didn't wake up until jake brought me dinner at 6 i think. i have a migraine and am medicated at the moment. i am out of my migraine med and the pharmacy was closed by the time i woke up, so i am trying to just stay off of the computer (i haven't even checked mail yet at 9:35 p)lest i get really really sick. anyway, i just wanted to blog before i went to bed. or to sleep, rather. i missed the farmer's market! bah!
barbe sent me some yarn she didn't want and some other nice things (and she is getting some stuff in return because she is a sweet girl. don't let her fool ya! she is a total softie! i should make a barbe softie. hee.) and the one yarn is sort of a mustard color with a brown yarn plied around it, it has a tigery or bee look to it. i made a lion amigurumi that is balding. i started to give him a full mane and then as i put it in, it looked like bad hair plugs on someone with pattern baldness and it clicked. i may give him facial hair, he already has sideburns. i also crocheted some soft wire along with the yarn for his arms so they are poseable. i will take photos to-morrow. i promise. i also got some awesome stuff for a swap that i will post. with the links, i am trying to really keep this short and sweet.
some photos...here is the top that i made from a huge crappy women's old navy t-shirt. i completely took it apart and added a strap and a vintage button and added shaping to the body and a bit of shirring at the bottom on one side to make it a bit shorter, too. excuse my sweaty, lupus rashy face. it was really hot out. i was ready to swoon. that was the day that i took photos of everything with my makeshift light tent.
and here is the shadowbox i have been working on for a while. i plan to add dimensional grass made with different papers glued to cardstock at the bottom. it also has clouds all around the box. it is called jacob's ladder, which was the stairway to heaven. after the grass not sure where it is going. i am not sure why i have been so creatively stumped with anything that is not just crafty. hmph.
these photos don't have all of the clouds that i have added...
i will be listing some more batts to-morrow on luxe.etsy.com so pop by. oh, and i will also be listing another of the softies. woot.
okay, i am barely able to keep the eyes open.
mwah!
