Meanwhile…

It’s been forever since I last knitted but this video is the perfect representation of an obsessed knitter, like many of us are! :-P It’s worth watching, even if you are not following this blog because of the crafty things. After all, we all lose perspective of things every once in a while…
By the way, please be patient, this is still a work in progress and we’ll be tweaking it some more in the next few days. In the meanwhile, enjoy the video!

I was on Etsy´s Front Page!!!!!!!!!

I never ever check the Featured tab from CraftCult because I´m never there :-p and I don´t mind, but I did today, because I was bored… and OMG!!! I was on Etsy´s Front Page last night! I can´t believe it!

About school and my stores

School has been very slow this past week, and starting today, the teachers are on a strike… I was supposed to have an exam today, but my teacher didn’t show up.
Now, I have to make a Company Newspaper, for my Public Relations class… I’m really excited about the assignment, because I picked a bookstore (I looooove them!) and I have a million ideas! But I’ve been working soooooo much on my store that I haven’t even started…

A treasury :D and some stuff

I don’t have much to say today, I’m going out of town tomorrow… I’m not really that excited… but I’ll live…
I just wanted to show the treasury I made today! :D Finally! I never ever get right on time to the treasuries, but tonight I did… It features rings from members of the EtsyinSpanish team, really beautiful rings that I LOVE!

Shining around pattern and stuff for sale…

Shinning Around
This is just a tiny update, I know there’s people waiting for the Shining Around cushion pattern to be published, so here’s the link to her pattern shop on Ravelry.
I’m not sure if the pattern is available for sale outside Ravelry, I’m sorry… but if there’s people interested I could find out with Talitha…
Also, if any no-knitter is interested, in any way :-p, in a sock monkey cup cozy you can find them for sale on my Etsy and my ArtFire stores… (If you don’t want to create an account to make your purchase, I’d recommend ArtFire, if your country is not listed you can email me to add it and then you can make the purchase via paypal)

Sea Horsey, another testing project…

sea+horsey+008 Sea Horsey, another testing project...

I offered to help test another pattern on Ravelry last week, an Sea Horse amigurumi, but I totally forgot about it since I spent all week working on my cup cozy pattern…
To be honest, I never expected my pattern to be so much work… I had to change the sock monkey’s lips and ears from crocheting to knitting and then reknit it to see if everything was fine and then creating the pdf, I totally lost track of time on saturday and went to bed at 5 am just to find out that the pattern that I uploaded to Ravelry was huge and took hours to download :-p
So I remembered about the amigurumi I had to crochet until saturday, the day I was supposed to contact the designer :-p
So I got to work at full speed and crocheted almost all of it in a few hours, it wasn’t really that hard, but crochet is not my thing… and amigurumis are annoying with all the tiny pieces… so I finished it until sunday, after emailing the designer, all I had left to do were a few details and the photos… Sea horsey came out really cute, and was inmediatly kidnapped by my cousin, right after I took the photos, and now responds to another name :-P
ETA. To add the sea horse pattern… It’s available on the designer’s Etsy store for $3

Building a house

Last week was pretty uneventful and there wasn’t much to report, so I just didn’t :-p
But then on tuesday, my friend Angel asked me to help him to make a mode of an egyptian house… with polymer clay! :-p
Yup, I was sold the moment he mentioned the clay.
I thought it was going to be fairly easy, since I do play a lot with clay… but it took us a while to get actually started… First the store (yup, the one that I found on my birthday) was closed and we had to wait. Then, my car decided to get sick that day :-p so I had to take it to the shop and when we got home after we had lunch we had to condition the clay…. damn, that was hard… not that I did that, but poor Angel…
He bought 4 packs of clay and he spent hours conditionioning it while I made dessert for dinner (it was father’s day here that day), but when I got finished with dessert everything was ready to start working… I don’t own a pasta machine or anything to roll the clay and given the fact that we had to roll large amounts of clay I ended up using a huge bottle of heineken as a roller (from my brothers’ collection of empty bottles :-p)
All in all, it was lots of fun! :D Angel had a blast mixing different colors, when he found out what happened when he did that he couldn’t stop. We had two different mixes and only the floor ended up being of one color… It took a very long time to “finish” but it came out quite close to what he wanted, I know he added stuff to it in his house but the harder work was done when he left… (I hope :-p)
Here are some pics of our day… not of the finished thing, because they were so hard to take, they were useless…
