Middle of the Week

It's been a couple of days since I posted. I'm still working on the afghan, but I only have a skein and a half to go (and then the border, but that shouldn't take long). I'll post pics of the afghan as soon as it's done.


I finally got some help taking pictures of my jewelry that's not blurry. So, here are some of my newest postings in my store (pics above!).

I can't wait for Friday. Vacation next week. Yay!

New Yarn

So I'm making a special order blanket, and I just bought the yarn (literally, I just got back from the store). And now I want to start on it. It's on a really tight deadline, so this weekend is going to be school on Saturday, and making the blanket the rest of the time. But hopefully, it goes by fast, I mean, it's on a decent sized crochet hook (k), so I should be able to manage. And, it's new yarn to play with, which is always fun.

I have to finish (and start) my project for class that's due tomorrow. Yeah, I know, I'm a procrastinator. Oh well. Everything will get done. It always does.

The purse is done!

The purse is done! I had to add extra rows like I said, but it's finally finished. I even added it to my Etsy shop already (www.midnghtdolphin.etsy.com).

Now I have to go to Michael's and get some beads for those napkin holders. I'm just glad I already have another project in mind.

And to make things even better, I finished Nothing to Lose by Lee Child. Now I can finally start City of Souls. All that's left is to put together my facial steamer and magnifying lamp. But so far, it's been a pretty productive day.

New Blog

I started this blog with Live Journal (http://midnghtdolphin.livejournal.com), but have decided to move over here to chronicle my crafting successes and mishaps.

I had my first sale yesterday. I sold a cute pair of crocheted slippers (picture above). I also finished two baby blankets in the last couple of weeks. My newest project is a cute purse. It's blue with bamboo handles, and I'll be putting a picture up (as well as listing it on Etsy) as soon as it's finished.

That said, I really need to get back to making jewelry. I have so many beads, and I really haven't done much with them in forever. The last thing that I made was a pair of earrings that I love, but I just can't seem to find the time to sit down and bead. Part of the problem is that my favorite necklace broke, and I don't have the heart to fix it (it's all oxidized stirling silver and swarovski crystals), because it'll pretty much be redoing the whole thing, and I have no idea where the chemical to oxidize the silver is at the moment.

Oh well. Class later. Then home to work on the purse.
