- This week I just want to try something new! This is my new goal, although I am not sure what it will be.

My weekly resolutions have been really lax lately.. sorry if they seem a bore. One of my best friends from high school, who I haven't seen since high school, bought somethings off my Etsy shop. So I have decided to make her alittle something extra, because I really sort of miss her. Although we have definitely grown apart.. I think it is so strange how that can happen, but it seems to.. I am not sure if it is caues I have changed so much since then or if life just does.

This week is my friend Bliss's birthday. She has just gotten into embroidery and cross stitch.. so I had sneaky plan. I told her boyfriend to get her a starter kit at Sublime Stitching, cause I don't know if it is me but when I was starting out it was very frustrating.. Although I started cross stitch many years back, it always made it more worth the trouble if it was a cool design. So he got her that, I got her a stylus and some carbon paper, and I am going to grab a crap load of thread for her. So I hope the presents combine will be pretty ultimate. I just want to encourage her, I let her borrow my Subversive Cross stitch Book, hoping it was also peek her interest! Yea, I pass on crafts like they are crack!

Work has been wearing me thin.. So I have pretty much come to the conclusion that I am just going to take out a student loan.. I am so tired of working in the food industry, and unfortunately having very visible tattoos.. my options are limited. But I am very ready to be doing something more relax and something I might actually enjoy.

I want to try something new this week.. Although I am not sure what I should do, but I think it is good to spice things up.. maybe I will knit a scarf. I mean it actually gets fairly cold up here, and I don't have a super cute one. Last year I knitted a very nice one for my mother, I really liked the way it turned out, I think I might do something similar.

Also I know it seems like I haven't been crafting much.. it is because I have been working a lot. And I am still turning away shifts it seems like everyday. I just can't be there doing doubles everyday.. six days in a row is a enough! Me and Lee went out last night with one of his friends.. he seems like a really cool guy, and it was nice to have someone stop by our place for once.

I did add this little piece to my etsy shop!

It is only $7.00

Attack of the Sprites!!

I couldn't resist.. I started with Kirby, which I posted a picture of earlier..
I found all these awesome small frames at thrift stores incase you are wondering. :)
I love Super Mario Brothers 2! My favorite part was being able to use Princess Peach.. the coasting she could do was very helpful.. not to mention she is adorable!
God.. who doesn't love Metroid?!? I mean really?! On this piece I actually used silver metallic floss to fill in the white-ish grey part.. I think it really made it look awesome but you can't tell in the picture.
This was a test run for me. My boyfriend is a huge Final Fantasy fan.. and I want to do a bigger piece for him later.. but until now this will have to do :)

You can find all four of these on my Etsy page! :)

Swaps and Yaps

So I have been crafting.. despite my not posting pictures. I finished two projects that I am swapping Brook! I was so pleased to finish them, now I just hope she will be pleased with them. Forgive me the frame has purple, but I avoided it in the pillowcase! Hope you like them, I will mail them asap!

The handwriting is my own, so it is not perfect! The sublime stitching font wouldn't fit in the banner.. sorry Brook.. but hey that makes it more personally I guess. :)

I also added alittle sprite to My Etsy Store!

And I started on my other swap.. I am almost halfway through one piece, then I am going to do one more. I think I am only up for two projects to each swap. Especially since these are my first swaps ever! But I really hope both ladies are happy.


This week has been rather awesome. I have oragnized a Soprano night cause Lee has never seen them. It is so much fun getting together with friends, cooking a awesome dinner and then just enjoying each other's company. It has been a long time since I have felt welcome, it is really nice.

Bummer of the week! We were all planning on going to see the new Harry Potter movie for my bday.. but found out yesterday it got bumped back til July 09.. First they bump back Spiderman 4 til 11, and now this.. Sorry geek rant but it pisses me off.


Does anyone know of any good movies coming out?

So one of my favorite websites posted another one of my pieces! LOVE IT! This makes five times.. So go to the page and look around.. Leave love.. And thanks for promoting my Etsy Store!! THAT SO MADE MY DAY!!


And I love the gangsta mario comment.. made me laugh really hard! Awesomeness!!

The Etsy Store is still just starting out.. I haven't filled out my Sublime Stitching Agreement yet so I haven't even posted any of those projects, and yet I have sold three pieces this past week. It has been so awesome to see other people getting excited about pieces that I have done.. That I designed and put my heart into it so to speak. It has really made me feel pretty wonderful.

So I read my horoscope today and it was so wierd.. it hit so close to home!

"Theres a clown in your life whose jovial act is starting to grate on you a little too much, lately -- but it looks like youre the only one who is sick of their tricks! Everyone else just thinks they are hilarious, which is only going to annoy you more. Since there are no sympathetic ears for you to vent your frustration to, you might as well just step back from all the group energy and go off on your own for a while. You need a break, and you can always count on yourself to understand!"

Creepy!
