Ribbit, ribbit

So I think I'm going to frog the shawl... I learned a new stitch last night and I want to make a scarf or two with it. Lover's knot... It's sooooo pretty. I'll post pics after a few rows...

I went out today and got a skein of white sport weight to make some snowflakes. Just using the lionbrand.com patterns, and maybe a few from crochetpatterncentral.com. I'll post some of them once I have them done. They're quickies...

I also got what I'll need to make our holiday cards. I started rubber stamping again recently, so I think I'll go that route this year. The past few years have been done with the computer, maybe I'll do both...

And I'm still working on the granny blanket as well as a few crochet cotton dish cloths for my etsy...

ADD much? Not me...

I've been swapping all over the place! Just finished The Swap the Sweat Shoppe Swap, The Hat and Mittens Swap, and The Happy Little Christmas Swap. Whew! Plus I had a personal swap on the side. I got some of the prettiest yarn that I've already started turning into a triangle shawl(although I may need more from her, another swap?). Here's a pic...

I love the blue, and you can't tell in the picture, there are flecks of tan and grey in it. So stinkin' pretty! Can't wait until it's done! I've also been working on a few other things for my etsy shop, crochet cotton dish cloths and I'm toying with the idea of selling the hand made gift tags and cards I make. But the stamps I use(Stampin' Up) have copyright laws and such, so I have to investigate further... I guess it's not enough that I bought their product, go figure...

I just signed up for The Sweat Shoppe Swap 6. Just a basic quickie swap, ten of the same items. I'll be offering thank you cards this time. There's a ton of good stuff being offered this round, I'm sure I'll have a few personal swaps on the side...

That's all for now, dinner is on it's way and I've got a few things to tie up before I eat...

Yep, that's me... a crafty nerd...

Laugh all you want, but it's true. 32 hours a week I'm a center director/preschool teacher, after that I'm a mom, a wife, and a crafty nerd. I'm slowly building my yarn and fabric stash, I've become addicted to craft swaps(thanks Craftster[http://www.craftster.org/]!) , and I've discovered and rediscovered so many other crafts besides crocheting(again, thanks Craftster!). Right now I'm working on selling a few items in my etsy shop Glitter & Sparkles(www.glittergirl94.etsy.com Check it out and buy something, I'll make more!), I'll be making a purse for my cousin for Christmas(hope to post pics), I started a large one piece granny blanket out of my leftovers, pictured above. Weird color choices, I know, but like I said, it's leftovers. If it comes out nicely, and it's not too much of a drag(I like quick project that make instant gratifcation) I hope to make another one for my etsy shop. Anyway, had to break in the new blog... More craftiness later!
