Stuff:

I want to say a big thankyou out there to Oiyi, over at Oiyi’s Craft’s!!! Not only does she make beautiful jewelry that i hope one day to be able to afford. But she has been a cool person on my blog list for the past year and a 1/2 or so. She has super cute doggies and a husband who makes cool comic collages. You really should check him out here. She sent me this little package of hello back when i was having a tuff week.

Good thing she sent that soap holder...cause next up i want to thank Nell. Nell’s blog i always find fun, because I can window shop for beautiful sock yarns thru her blog. You see when you are a poor freelancer like me, you can live vicariously thru other’s people’s purchases! She also makes soaps! She kindly asked me if i’d be intrested in testing her soap out and giving her my opinion on them. Sure enough i got this lovely smelling Lemon Verbena Soap in the mail.

She said it was more of a kitchen soap, but sure enough after a week i started to use it int he shower/bath. I like the grainy stuff in it to scrub me up. In addition to it smelling good, there’s decent lather and leaves me clean and not feeling dry like some other soaps do. So if she ever sells this stuff, i plan on buying some up. And so should you. Thank You Nell for considering me and my opinion.

I also won a contest of hers. Which was super fun cause I never win anything, so this was extra fun. I let her choose which prize to send me.
here it is and it’s a beauty!




It’s Lisa Souza sock yarn in Emerald. How pretty is that!! Thanks Nell (again)

Things:
I want to thank Nat for getting me a present too. A Duaflex of my very own. So now i can do the Through The Viewfinder pictures all on my own. He also built me the wacky cardboard contraption to put over the camera to allow my digital to shoot thru the viewfinder. He’s such a great boy, who can wield a craft knife and mold cardboard into awesome stuff. Thanks nat.
So in the last post you saw one of nat’s two duaflex’s. That last one is with the gritty lens. This is what my viewfinder looks like!

Since everyone doesn’t mind seeing my shoes here’s the new pair of rocket dogs i scored on the super cheap!

Here’s some yarn i had borrowed erin’s swift to wind this weekend

Collaboration Pouches Galore (a.k.a the sewing apocolapyse)

handles

the motel they deomolitioned for more condos

the patio

handcut type on an abandoned building

I’ll get some photos of my duaflex box camera so you can see what it looks like with the contraption tomorrow. I’ve got some custom orders to work on for our etsy shop peeps

But i will leave you with a picture nat took of himself with the gritty duaflex. He hates it and yelled at me when i said i wanted it. “You’re just going to put it on your blooooooog!” Yes i am. Cause you are the cutest boy ever. Who will go take pictures of typography with me, take 800 billion annoying pictures of me, watch me argue for cheaper shoes, watch me sew, and tolerates that i love his eyebrows so much i kiss them and pet them.

Edited to add information about Through The Viewfinder:
Through the Viewfinder photography is defined as taking a picture of any subject through the viewfinder of any camera with another camera.
You can find out how to do it, and page 3 has make your own contraption here
You can view flickr groups (nat belongs to them) here
