Things:
1. Yes nat really said those things, in my conversation i pasted..i didn’t edit.
2. Glad too see that he made a lot of you and not just me laugh!
3. Yes, the store at the store url on piddleloop dot com is still down. I have to go thru it and do some major updating and get rid of things. For the meantime just pop over to our etsy shop please. And pattern seekers, just look there for now ok?
4. If you noticed this website was down monday or tuesday, thanks amy, you were right. Nat is helping update this site, and my expression engine software.
5. I’ve hired Nat my web genius to freshen up the template. He showed me stuff the other nite and it looks good. He rocks.
6. I have this awful start-itus. Thanks to ravelry. I don’t want to sew and just want to cast-on for a million projects, and ignore finishing them. (as per usual anyway)
7. I succombed to knit picks again for DPN’s (still live dangerously and don’t have a knit picks gauge) and i gave in and got a hippy the hippo.



Isn’t she cute, she’s huge and holds a lot of stuff..of which i’m not showing you it was cold out this morning.

Stuff: You know y’all want it? How about a really short Etsy Friday?

I pestered Katy of Love Sticks for some trick or treat colorway yarn. Then i saw Count Sockula when she posted she had a Morrissey colorway. SHe was out of the Girlfriend in a coma (rats!) but i picked up Count Sockula to add to my special order of trick or treat. She rocks.


She makes her yarns all stripe. mmm stripes. She even included a few business cards, and some post cards of the yarn. Very pretty!


Next up is future Etsy person Kelly. I wrote to her last weekend and she assures me she is looking into starting up an etsy shop. WHen she does y’all will be the first to know. Here’s the Pattern Tamers at work. So you can see what they do. keeping my place on my RPM sock pattern.



and



Keeping track of the Foliage chart pattern They hold down your pattern, and you slide it to keep your place. They are cute, and very affordable and very gift friendly. I will let y’all know if she makes a shop.
I have a problem. There i’ve admitted it to y’all too. I went into several antique shops last weekend and bought 4 pairs of screw back clip earrings for cheap. Then came bearing Hello Kitty gifts and other gifts to Kayt last nite. Begging her to put chains on them for me. So now i have even MORE sweater clips. Except my favorite ones need a tune up on their clasp so she had to take them (no photo) . But check these out:



These i got for way cheap and she informed me they were old sworovoski (sp) crystals and those beads are somewhat rare and expensive these days. Good thing cause the earrings cost me a whopping $4. Here’s the back cause you can see they are hand strung and hand tied. The tag said fromt he 50’s.


Then i found these heavy silver and robin’s egg blue with brown speckles in them



and of course a 60’s classic large pearls



So again eventually when i stop bothering her with stuff Kayt will be putting some of these into her etsy shop..keep an eye out...cause i’m quick like fox.

So I was hoping to hibernate this weekend. Wrong. I have Loteria pouches to finish and more Sugar skulls to finish large glittery ones and small ones. For an update hoping to happen monday or tuesday.
And i get to do rockstar drop offs of product to several people. And possibly get to meet a Colorado Blogger downtown.
Ohhh fun. I’ll be back Monday with more, y’all have a good weekend.
