Bedroom Update....



Hi again! So I have actually been working on making my bedroom Elftastic....I've finished painting the walls, the doors aren't done yet..., I still need to do some sort of "window treatment" paint a few paintings, hatch a dragon or two.....make a wand for the mantle....but but so far so good, 
and MUCH! MUCH! better than before!
thoughts suggestions? comment!!

this was before I finished painting, I havent even put the vent things back up...freehand btw no tape!(and caffeine free soda)
Here is the little window seaty kinda thing, I still need to figure out what I want to do for curtains.... and there's my little Ficus, (although you can't really see it)Ficus attract tiny Dragons....

Here is the start of the tiny dragon ( i havent finished him yet)
This is the top of the bed, gold leaf garland and Ikea l.e.d .lights....along with other lights...see below!
the bed fron another angle, I guess I need a bunch of colorful pillows, maybe I'll knit some!
(but maybe not)
my new Ikea nightstands, and Ikea purple lights!
oh Ikea!

It's Cozy, It's Warm, It's Romantic, Its the fireplace i got for my birthday!

so ok now remember the other lights I mentioned, here is a little video of them, yes, it is pret-ty dang Elftastic!

so... until I can get my self to post more regularly, I remain...Closer to the Edge, Elf

The Bunny!



Well as you may or may not know, we got a bunny.  She is an angora rabbit, she is super cute and pretty sweet. I think I may be a little allergic to her, but we will see....


so without furthur a DOO  introducing...
Strudel!

here she is the minute we got home meeting Butters ( no this is not the cage we keep her in geesh)

Odie meets Strudel!
Odie: "is it to eat?"
me: "no".
Odie: "then I don't care about it"


 Strudel looking frightening, 
Strudel looking frightened, Strudel.






The first tiiiny bit of Strudel Yarn !!

Odds and Ends (mostly odds)

Well.... I decided to kinda sorta restart the blog, ( and delete all the old posts) and now it will be this and that and THE OTHER thing, or whatever I happen to be making or obsessing on at the moment...so at the moment I thought I would plop down some pics of things from over the past few months... so in no particular order.....

the felted chickadee I made for a teacher


ahhh I'm so thirsty I could really go for some....Fred??
my big green sweater......seriously, it's BIG


this was a the NJ sheep and fiber show, I'm not sure what we were supposed to be watching out for.....although I have had a lot of different suggestions as to what it means...

The Red monster family I made for my daughters P.'s Dorm Room


Butters takes a bath.....

Wow! I haven't posted since last August. geesh.  epic blog fail ( see I was right about the not doing a podcast, although I still think it could be amusing heh heh) anyway, being inspired by an awesome person I work with, ( who actually blogs on her blog) I decided to blog about...... decorating my bedroom!! it is a work in progress, have any ideas for it? love it? hate it? comment!! ( I realize that I am writing to myself, and myself only, and I rarely comment on anyones blog so...the chances of me getting any comments r pretty slim)
