Laying in bed..

Last night I couldn't fall asleep. I was just laying in bed while my mind was going 100 mph. I had so many ideas and thoughts that my brain would not shut down for some well needed rest. I also had a strange dream... anyway, here are some of the thoughts that went through my head last night-
1- I should make a label name for my etsy products
2- I like Coldplay... alot
3- I wish I could knit a sweater in an hour (impossible you say? yes.)
4- I should do the laundry before leaving town
5- I need to re-take my product pictures
6- I should re-take my product pictures when I am in Saint George
7- How am I going to pack my paintings good enough to send back to Sacramento
8- Why does it take so stinkin' long for my light yellow paint to dry.
9- I need to buy a headband, just a plain black one.
10- I can't wait to get my fiber to spin! Gah! Exciting!!!

So there is a sneak peak of what goes inside that funny mind of mine, hope you enjoyed it! Oh, and if you have any ideas for any of my thoughts please post a comment! Thanks!

Wool rolling in!

Yesterday I bought a pound of merino wool online. I am so excited to recieve it! I also bought some natural dyes (dyestuffs made from natural plant and animal matter, NO ACIDS). The moment I get them I will post again! I can't wait to get more hand-spun yarn on etsy! I am also working on writing a pattern for my Cloche, would it be interesting to you if I sold the pattern on etsy?

Pictures of Cloche!

Here are some pictures of the Cloche I knitted. It is so wonderfully comfortable! It is like a beanie, but stylish! I posted it on my etsy store, but it is so fun to try on I am tempted to keep it for myself! I think I might do another and change the design a tad. I have had this hat sitting around for a week now and it has taken me this long to finally get some pictures of it!

Gah! No pictures!

I have some very cute items but I don't want to get dressed to take pictures of them. So it will be posted...even later. Shame.

Neglected

I have been neglecting my blog. I have an excuse though! I am in an art show and I have to paint 50 paintings in 50 days! So I have been busy with my other blog- brookesart.blogspot.com . I have been getting some knitting in- I just finished a very very very cute cloche that I am going to post on etsy when I have the time to take pictures. And yes, I will post it here too! It is made with merino yarn, and it is yellow. It is very comfortable, like a beanie, but much more flattering. I think I will get my sister to wear it for the pictures since I have short hair, and I think it would look cute with her longer hair. The truth is that sometimes when I wear hats I look like a boy... because my hair hides under the hat. Well check out my other blog and don't think that I have neglected y'all.

Hats to come!

I am working on cute hats for my etsy shop! Unfortunately I am running out of yarn... so buy something so I can buy more and put more things in my shop!

What do you want to see this summer? Leave your comments and ideas so I know what YOU want!

First sweater!

I just finished my first knitted sweater and it turned out beautiful. Just a small cropped cardigan type sweater. I am going to dye it and put on a button then take pictures!
