I usually try my very best to be organized and detailed about my knitting. Like I always keep track of my rows and color changes and add little extra notes, etc... I don't know how or why it happened but as I finished the second sleeve to my coat, I realized that there's two sections that I did differently than on the first sleeve. Snot wad!! Though they're close to the end so it's not that bad...but at the pace I work it'll probably set me behind another two nights. Plus I'm working on a lacy shawl and I want to start working on designing a pattern for legwarmers (my mom's encouraging me to sell them...but maybe a pattern would be better?).

In addition to these projects, I wish I could find some sequin or lame (wish I could add the little accent, lol) fabric (preferably silver, iridescent, or even holographic) for "dirt cheap" so that I can make a dress... That would be grand.

Er, ok so I'm on the last section of each sleeve (I changed the section around but I don't think it's quite working out so I'm going back to the pattern). I started sewing up one sleeve (ugh!). My dad bought the zipper for me. I'm not sure if I'm going to machine sew it or not. I reeeeally want to get this coat done but I think I dread the yarn sewing/piecing together more than I do the actually weaving in the loose ends.

I also need to crack down and finish making some pom-poms made for another project (that's been finished forever minus the pom-poms). Seriously, my pom-poms fail. No matter how much yarn I add to them they're so...pitiful! I want nice full pom-poms that don't resemble a wilted fern!!!

Tonight I finished knitting a washcloth that I've been putting off on completing. I don't know what it is but knitting wash cloths is just so...blah! I'm not knocking 'em but I just don't enjoy making them. :/

Recently I learned how to make crocheted flowers! It's kind of pitiful that I never really tried until recently, but I can do 'em! Er, and that makes me happy.

Since I finished the body of the coat (well finished knitting, I still have to weave in the ends and sew the plackets) I've been working on both of the sleeves. I'm about half-way finished with each sleeve so yay for that!

I can't wait until I'm completely finished with the coat so I can showcase it and be all ~*pippinsnazzle*~ (oh yeah!!)!!! Haha, and also can't wait to start some new and exciting projects. I'm on a shawl kick right now. I've found 3 patterns that have caught my eye (but nothing has really jumped out and screamed "Make me!!!!" yet). I need to go through my yarn and try to organize and designate what I want to use for certain projects.

Nevermind!

Ok, nevermind the last post! I did some deleting and reorganizing of my blogs (er, kind of...) and decided on another new blog. I think this one will continue to be mainly my jewelry and probably knit items. My new blog is just a bunch of random whackiness, which can be found here. Alrighty, so there we go! :D

Change of Plans

I think that I am going to use this as a "general life" blog. I don't know. I have several other blogs that I like to dedicate to specific topics but sometimes it's just overwhelming to keep those up and to keep on topic. This one in particular was supposed to be a "fun" blog. Then along the way it became my beading blog, and while that was going on I created a seperate "art" blog. Also during all of this I came up with the idea (which I haven't really shared the actual idea and concept for it) www.FierceDesigners.com which in turn became its own blog and has since gone nowhere. Annnnd, in addition to everything I created a makeup blog ('cause I love me some makeup)...but yet again, I've done squat with that one as well. Who knows! Maybe I'll change my mind again. Just buckle your seatbelts, sit back, and try to enjoy the ride. Heh...
