Sometimes magical things just happen.





I started my day yesterday with going to the farmer's market and meeting up with Ali and Lori. We ate tamales and freaked out over how heavy my bag full of produce was. I went back to the flower stand and we all picked out our free flowers. Those daisies are one of my most favorite things in the world, so I was really happy to have one. I came home and went to work then to school, then met up with Ali and Lori again and guess what we found! There was a special windchime outside of Rite Aid. It was just like the flowers we got from the farmer's market. It made me feel good. That's all.

There's a craft fair in Gardon Grove I'm going to be a part of this Saturday. I haven't made anything new, so I'm kind of freaking out, but it's going to be amazing. I promise. Come if you dare!

First Craft Fair

Last Saturday was the craft fair at BFF and it was absolutely amazing! So many people complimented on our stuff/design/etc. and they were strangers! There is something so special about people you don't know telling me that I am doing a good job. We sold out of all the girl Abe shirts, and sold tons of necklaces we've been working really hard on, and my last minute ornaments were pretty well received too. We stayed up till wee hours of the night for weeks to do this thing, and the results were pretty satisfying. This is what it looked like.

I've been knitting crazy lately, and having yarngasms, and only looking for knitting things on ebay and websites, and getting yarnspiration on other people's blogs, and hating everyone who were taught by grandmas (because my grandma didn't teach me), and thinking of new projects to work out everyday, all day. It's such a good feeling that over the course of two years of knowing how to knit, I went from dreading every stitch to a yarnoholic. I'm pretty happy. I could not live without knittinghelp.com
And today I knitted a pair of fingerless gloves but they are too snug because I couldn't find my size 6 needles so instead i knitted with size 8 ones. I am almost thinking about unraveling the whole thing and starting over, or even felting it, but I don't know how much they will shrink?
But I am pretty amazed and happy that I finished a project in one day and I watched three episodes of Law and Order: Criminal Intent with my boyfriend too. I am pretty happy overall. As always, I cheated and know what I am getting for Christmas, and I am getting JoAnn gift certificate AND the Craft Magazine Boxset! I have all the good things in the world! Also, I just ordered the entire collection of bamboo circular, double pointed, single pointed needles from China and they are on their way here. Seriously, I am too happy.
