Etsy Friday and Girls who rock

♥ Comments (11) ♥

Since I haven’t been doing much other than freelance work, watching Zander, and sewing. I haven’t had much to say. Perhaps feeling sluggish from our 95 degree days with 100% humidity. I don’t know. Nonetheless, thank you for your well wishes on five awesome years. I think even nat is suprised some of you said congrats. :D heh.
Not much going down over here. Although we are starting to prepare for craft show season. Mostly because we leave to go to Vegas a week ahead of renegade and arrive back the night before the one day we will do. EVERYTHING has to be done before we leave and hauled up to chicago. oh my.
I also wanted to say thanks to Stacey. I’ve read her blog daily for years. I don’t think i ever commented. I just didn’t feel like i needed to, i was her partner for the stitch marker swap we did years ago, but anyways i just love her posts with her neice. So stacey thank you for being excited enough about your custom order with us to blog about it. We are thrilled that you love it as much as you do.

Now, I did see at 1 am this week Robyn, who launched Robyn’s Nest this past weekend, said i was a ROCKIN’ GIRL BLOGGER. YAY! Altho when i just re-read that sentance it made me think of that awful but hard not to watch trainwreck of a show, Rock of Love. Why-oh-why Brett will you NOT take off the hats or bandannas? hee hee.
I feel good, I rock. Now this will be hard. I think a lot of people rock. A lot of people rock hard. So this will be tough to narrow it down to FIVE. But here goes:

1. Kayt - You rock because you personally know a member of Califone. I wish i had an Uncle Benny. And she makes me laugh pretty hard, and reminds me i shouldn’t be on a computer between the hours of 12am-3am.

2. Amy from the land of YEE-HAW you rock for so many reasons, too many to name. I’m so glad you’re a night owl.
3. Lesa - You rock because well for 100’s of reason’s. But well you’ve seen Johnny Cash live, gotta give you that.
4.  Carol rocks in so many ways it’s not even funny. Arrow rocks too.
5.  Amy rocks. Amy has always rocked, even tho i question her taste in music when she’s making all those cute little things! (cd swap circa 2005)
honorary rockers cause i imagine these girls to rock very hard
1. LALA because she lets me call her that. She’s rocks.
2. Nell cause she rocks some tasty beer.
3.  Stevie rocks, very much so. So does poor Elmo who has to wear the cone. (click the link)

Ok i know i broke the “rules” but i suppose that’s what people who rock do, we are rule breakers by nature. Anyways those are some girls i wanted to give shout outs to to say Y0- YOU ROCK!

now on to some etsy friday.

First up. Jillian of Wee Ones. Way back in May i asked her if she’d like to do the Piddleloop Hounds for me. I was in no hurry and she could take her time. Altho once they were done i couldn’t wait to get them! Jillian charges too little for her work. She even will put the little details that you request in there. I told her i wanted lucy dog’s white ink stain on the back of her neck in there, and that both dogs wear thick leather collars with their inital hanging off. Sure enough she captured those details and she was great to work with.

How about some yarn. From Melanie over at Lotus Yarns? How about this pretty colorway called Amber. Mmmmm pretty.

How about a loom woven bracelet! JD Star has a million choices awaiting you. I think i want 5 more. A new way to wear fiber.

Kayt made these earrings and I snatched them up before they even made their way on to etsy. I normally can’t wear those fish hok earrlings, they are so large and i have attached earlobes. But these, these are TINY (even tho they look huge int he picture) and barely there, but so pretty! She has other colors listed right now.


And Keys and Memories did this custom order for me. I’m a type nerd by nature i like letters. And i like the shape of letters. Anyways, she has great typewriter key jewelry at affordable prices and will whip you up anything you want for a custom order.

That’s all of the etsy love for now. I want to show you i am indeed knitting, for good measure. Here’s a monkey sock in koigu. I’m calling this color SKITTLES. Well because it looks like orange, lime, and lemon skittles.


Also I made a bag for myself FINALLY. Thanks to Amy from the land of yee-haw, she sent me a yard of that loteria fabric a while ago for a just because gift. I made her a project pouch and matching 4 x 6 when i made mine. Hopefully she’ll show us all soon. Y’all have a good weekend and stay cool.
