Magic Extravaganza!!
Tonight is The Villain Household's Magic Extravaganza. A number of fine individuals will be converging on the apartment for a night of mayhem and card playing. Everyone's favorite Taryn a Go Go will be back from Taiwan and joining the fray!! How exciting. Surely i will win the day with my Serra angel card! Victory is mine.
I have not only been focusing on my supreme wizarding skills, but have been crafting as well. I sewed a cute little crafting apron with some leftovers from a new pencil skirt and bag. The skirt is finished (though I forgot to shoot it). Sadly, the bag is not. It might be a few more days before I get around to putting it together. I also made a yummy little scarf/sash and another pull-on skirt. The pull-on is not a very exciting style, but sooooo comfy and useful. I swear I wore that Hello Kitty every day after I made it. This one is fuller and I feel like I should be heading out to the garden for a tea party. Speaking of tea, I have been enjoying Stash brand Lemon Ginger lately. I think I will make some ginger cookies tomorrow to compliment it.
In other news, I have officially opened a little shop on Etsy.com! The address is here. I posted a bunch more earrings. I want to buy more beads, but I know that I should wait for a while... So. Hard. To. Wait.
My knitpicks yarn should be coming in the mail soon. I bought some green merino for a J sweater, pitch alpaca/silk for a long sleeved OSW, and some dyeable sock yarn for a modified Orangina. Can't wait! It's always like xmas when yarn orders come. Sigh. In the meantime I have been making progress on my mom's xmas present: a superbulky cardigan in Emerald Blue from handpaintedyarn.com. I bought 9 skeins and am just about to start #5. I hope that there are enough left over for a little treat for myself. If not, I will be forced to buy more in the aran weight for my own cardigan. Oh the humanity.
