Supply run!!!

Last night Johnny took care of the kids and I ran out to buy some supplies. I love supplies. When it comes to crafty supplies, you must resist the urge to buy things to make stuff you'll never have the time to get to..... this is not my forte'. I got sucked in to the fabric remnant section and came out with $15 of fabulously bold-colored fleece. I got a lot of fleece for $15. Hold on, I'll take a pic...

I have some ugly dolls in mind.

I also got some supplies for more light sabers since the last ones were such a hit!! My kids are super pumped. I think I better start cranking these things out... and buy some red yarn. I'm out of red yarn. (Man, I never realized how much crochet would occur when pottery went on hiatus.)You are looking at the interior of 15 to-be light sabers.

I also managed to buy some Christmas cards while I was out.We'll just see which one you guys get. I'm trying to Hack into the Santa files right now, just for the sake of accuracy. You don't want to alarm anyone unnecessarily.

Monday...Mailbox Jackpot!!!

I got my necklace I ordered from Artibility.etsy.com
So stinkin' cute!!! Thanks Artibility!!!
He was freezin' his tentacles off all weekend in my mailbox. He was in there since Saturday, and I only checked the mail on monday. Poor David the Octopus. I think I'll make his some hot cocoa.

This is surely a sign that I am Christmas slacking!!!
I have to wrangle up those kids and snap a shot before the snow melts.

I got my sweater stone.

Dudes, I am not kidding when I say this thing is fabulous. It leaves behind some sweater-stone dust, so bring a broom... but your clothing will look fabulous. Thank you SweaterStone!!!

How to Tuesday: Felting

I know, I know...I missed Tuesday. You bastards keep pointing this out. Contrary to my fortune cookie, I have not "Achieved Perfection". I got that stinkin' fortune over five years ago and I am still waiting. Maybe the Chinsese definition of "soon" is much different than I had perceived.

Here PrettyLittle, from Etsy, gives us a little window into her process of making adorable felted baby booties.
I was always curious about felting. I did not know you could throw stuff in a washer and viola!!! Felted booties!! Here's a "how to" on felting...(read it!!) I must now go buy some wool yarn.

Have a Happy Day!!!!
... Love, PrettyPeapod
