back again....

Well Hi there! Geesh when I said I didn't have the knack for regular updates, I apparently was not kidding.....   soooo what have I been up to... other than knitting and felting...
hmmmm
well I redid me ...again, changed my hair ect ect which is good, and did something I have always wanted to do ( like always since I was 5) ... I swam with Dolphins!! Yay! It was amazing and awesome and the best day ever...

 I look all official in the wetsuit and lanyard ;)

 Dolphin kisses

woot!

well let's see what else...I have been thinking about opening and Etsy shop very soon, I will have to take an inventory, but hopefully once I do I will update more often! I did make a lightbox to photograph items ... here is one of the first things I photographed its called
Sangre De Tortura ( for obvious reasons)

well thats about it, oh except for the FDCML!!!
Fancy: Supernatural... holy crap best show ever! Watch it! Watch it for Dean, and for spooky stories, and for Dean, and for drama and for Dean, and for comedy and...for Dean! THANK YOU KIRSTEN! ( I would not be watching it if you hadn't told me about it)
 Detest: people who don't GO when the light turns green
Creating: Little Deer People...Ein Hirsche Menschen
Mulling: Hummingbird feeder
Last movie I watched: ummm I pretty much just watch Supernatural.....
 so with that, until the next post, i am ever....Closer to the Edge

this, that and that "other thing"

So, apparently I do not have the knack for regular blog posting. I do think about it sometimes, but it's usually when I'm in the car, or at work or somehow not in the position to be posting... I'm gonna try to remedy that.  Bad news, my Ipod died, like dead sad faced ipod dead.

                                      ( Yes it lived a very long full life)

ugh. I need my ipod. I need it in the car and I NEED it at work, so I am trying to decide what to get. I'm thinking about replacing it with a Kindle Fire, not the same thing, granted, but I think I want it anyway. I love my regular Kindle, so....i'm thinking about it. Can I blog on a  Fire?
Blog on Fire.
So my next post is going to be all the thing I made in the interim, and Now I have a new thing ( its the "other thing ) and here it is... the FDCML
at the moment I.......
Fancy: Impractical Jokers ( and for some reason America's next Top Model)
Detest: people who don't GO when the light turns green
Creating: purple sweater for me
Mulling: stained glass window for my bathroom
Last movie I watched: The Red Violin. Liked it, i guess. It was incredibly depressing and mostly not in english ( which is hard when u r knitting and brushing a rabbit) but the story line was ...unique?....interesting?.....disturbing? ehhhh.
so with that, until the next post, i am ever....Closer to the Edge

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)

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....

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?"

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.....

( 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)
