Crafting for Friends The Glue/Gluing Episode (with a surprise in the middle)

So I was home sick from work with fever chills but it didn't stop me from crafting.

You know, I could do a video for you too.

Crafting for Friends ~ The PONY Edition~

Trying to do a series wherein I dedicate the video to a different friend every time. This one goes out to Pony/Windsong

A Little Facebook Challenge

My Pond friends Beth and Chrissy and I were talking about a crocheted cowl pattern that Bethie posted to my Facebook. I decided to see if could make one in an hour like the gal had said in the link.

I clicked on the Lion Brand website to get the pattern. OK looks easy enough.  But wait...a size P hook?!? I ain't got no size P hook! I dug through my other crochet hooks, the wooden ones until I found the biggest one.

  Next I dug through the bulky yarn stash. I had some of Thick n Quick but not enough to make the cowl so I grabbed the ball of teal. 

After a quick swatch I realized it wasn't bulky enough so I added a strand of Yellow Gold.

I set the Timer and away I went!

45 minutes later it was done!

I apologize for the Green Bay colors lol.

LadyK's Jewel Tone Scarf 34/365

Does anyone here play Zuma Blitz on facebook? I do. I'm not addicted I can quit anytime I want. Yeah uhm...anyway.

LadyK is my top competitor along with my daughter and son in law. She also plays guitar and knows a lot of the same people online that I do. She asked for a scarf with purples, blues and a touch of hot pink. I can do trhat! It's soooooooooooooooooooo pretty I want one for my self.

So here's something I am finding myself doing....I am making notes of which yarns I would really like to replace when I get to buy stuff again. Maybe I'll start a journal with samples n stuff. I like the purple fuzzy stuff in this scarf.

A Skinny Scarf for PK 27/365

Pk has a leopard skin cape. I made her a brown and gold skinny scarf to wear with it or not with it.. I'm throwing in a scarf for her daughter Doodlebug too maybe the daisy one? Yes, the daisy one!

De-Stash and Make Money Too 22/365

Long time readers will know of my fondness for a good co-incidence. See the following posts for proof
 #1    #2     #3

 Here's one that just happened to me.

I play music in a camfrog room called Acoustic_Pond. This room was started by another friend who, for lack of a better way to put it, was asked not to come back to the room called Acoustic_Jam where we used to all play. Friend makes me "red" which is kind of room owner status. Makes another friend red, knocks her back to green (operator status), makes her red again, knocks her back to blue (friend only status) all without explanation of why said color changes took place. Other disturbing behavior accompanies this. Worry ensues. We find out friend who owns room failed to pay for room and was in danger of losing room...are you with me so far?

Maybe we were wrong for this next step but sometimes you have to go with your gut and besides, you weren't there to experience the whole thing so don't judge me. My friend whose color got changed and I pay for room and stage a somewhat modified hostile take over. Get cussed out. Feel relief after taking away first person's ability to change colors. Cue the crickets and lets move on....

What does this have to do with your stash, Rebecca? Well my dear readers allow me to explain.

 I needed $48.78 in my Paypal account to pay the 30 GSP to room owner (1 US dollar = .6253849 something British Pounds). I had $77 but that would have been cutting me a little short for Netflix payment and so on. OK don't panic, other friend sending check until they get Paypal set up. Meet up with room owner. Make deal. Go to Paypal....and here's where it gets weird.

I sold something. Actually I sold two somethings between the time I first checked my Paypal earlier in the evening and the time we met with owner to pay. These somethings were from my website 6 years ago and I had actually DELETED THOSE PAGES THIS PAST FALL! Omg are you getting goose bumps yet? How about now coz the total for these items came to $48.40. I'm sorry but I find this odd LOL!

"What were they!?!" you scream with morbid curiosity.

Two birthstone CQ kits, one for May and one for June. De-stash, make money, save music room. I rest my case.

RIP Blues Blaster I miss you already

Just got word a friend passed....sad day for  us in the Acoustic Pond

Winterfest Weekend 111/365

It's Winterfest 2010 and the only way I can go is to get online and log on to camfrog to watch the festivities. Here's a pic of Brad and me jamming before we went to Pondfest (the summer version of Winterfest)

My Old Profile Pic and some new etsy listings 103/365

I listed a few things on etsy today. My Anti-Valentines, a rubbing from a gravestone I got at the Arc a few years ago and my warm soft shawl with REAL angora in it. My 365 pic is the one I used for my profile when I first found the Acoustic Pond jamming in a textiles chat room on yahoo.

WANTED: For Being Too Cool 24/365

Last year I went to a 3 day music fest with my internet friends right before I took on the challenge of caring for my dying mother. I made this poster in honor of my friend Mike aka guitar_strangler

In Spirit if not in Body 21/365

This picture is pushing the boundaries of what some may call self-portraiture but it suits me just fine thank-you-very-much. It's my name on an island beach on the South Pacific drawn there by my friend Meg....I bet you wish you had your name on a beach there don't ya?
