So fresh and so clean, clean.

So here it is mid-winter in beautiful Tennessee. I'm over it. We don't get snow, we get rain and mush. Occasionally we get ice on our unsalted backroads. It's gross and mean.

My skin, hair, and nails are so dry that no (however copious) amount of lotion or product is going to fix this. It's lame and I'm sick of it. And: Glee is not back on until April. April?

I've decided to start thinking about Spring so I'll be good and ready for March 20th, the official first day of the season. This includes first and foremost: the ever appropriate cleaning. Our house has not gotten as untidy as I would have expected for three ADD crafters like ourselves, but it does deserve a good wipe down. I'm probably going to be putting some supplies for sale on our etsy site in order to declutter.

In other news, I got a cat, who's awesome. Her name is Samwich, or Sammy. This crappy photo is courtesy of my blackberry!

This is what I've been up to lately.

There's a few other embroidery things I've done that aren't pictured. Maybe I'll win the lottery and buy a sweet camera and upload the new pics!

Up next:

Baby stuff for 2 babies I know being borned soonish. I think one is a girl and I know the other is a boy. I have no idea what to make. Suggestions?

Yay for the new kitty and embroidery! The pieces I featured on my blog are not my own (the source links are under the pictures if you want to see where they came from). I'm learning, though! You should come over for one of my crafty ladies nights in. I could probably learn a thing or 2from you!

Zippered pouch porn..

Every post seems to start out about the same, so I've decided to start out this and possibly future posts with something a little different. Probably a little random because it tends to be my style. First, random: Remember Marriedtothesea ? It's been a couple years since I followed this webcomic, but today we reunited, however briefly. Their comics along with the original Toothpastefordinner , range from probably-too-smart-for-me to omg-hilarious. In any case, here's a recent gem: I am still unsure of how to properly give credit to authors of sites and images without "hotlinking". So I have not linked this image. However, I hope it's pretty evident if you've read anything above: this ain't mine, it's Marriedtothesea.com's. Now on with the update.. Another "art scarf" made while I was on vacation.. Yes, it's a little wonky, no judging. That's a geometric interior pocket you're seeing. Finally onto the most recent addition:

I’m not what you think I am I’m the king of Siam

Well well, we meet again. I don't have much of an update tonight because I'm moving tomorrow A.M. and almost everything I want to play with is packed. I'm actually quite anxious about this move, though I'm sure it will go fairly smoothly. Utilities are all turned on (new house), the house I'm leaving is in relatively good shape (though I'm sure the panic will set in when I wake up tomorrow..), and I totally fixed the hole I tore in the paint in my bedroom. Still, despite everyone that's helping me and the excitement to move to the new house, I still kind of feel like I'm doing this on my own. Oh, and I haven't heard back from the future landlord yet regarding when I can pick up the key, which scares me a lot little. Think happy thoughts.. In any case, not much crafting or sewing going on right now, I've resigned to playing DS and trying to imagine how much I can fit in that box over there. Have I mentioned how much this moving has consumed me? I&

DC, finally

Here are some photos I took in DC. My camera's getting worse every time I try to use it, and maybe I am too. National Portrait Gallery, from the floor. Renwick Gallery, part of the Smithsonian Museum. Wild Bill, Presidents' exhibit of the National Portrait Gallery. Close up of a silk installation piece at Renwick. It's kind of dumb that I don't remember who the artist is. Perty houses. Virginia has the best welcome sign. But their interstate only goes up to 65. Tiled wall bordering a park in Stacy's neighborhood. Prettiest dessert I ever did have! (Red Rocks) Awesome concrete-writing fail. It looks like it says "fuck everything", but it actually says "luck everything". Rawr! 4 days is not enough. This was my second trip to DC. Not pictured is the Thao and Mirah show we went to for Stacy's birthday. Divine!
