new treasuries

I haven't made a new treasury in weeks. Until today, that is. I just made two to ring in the New Year, and you can see them (and all of my other treasuries) here.

I met Sissy Spacek today. She is tiny, gorgeous, and super sweet. That is all.

crochet headphones?!

Just had to make a quick post about these crochet headphones. They look so cozy... I want some!

mad dash done

Whew! This month has been insane, to say the least. I started a new job (still can't blog about the company, but this time I'm in management) that is way more time consuming/demanding than my last, but also has benefits and can actually pay my bills. Woohoo! On top of that, MBG has exploded, and Christmas is happening in two days. I just finished the last little bit of shopping that I had to do tonight, and I can't wait to exchange gifts with everyone over the weekend. Overall, I would have to say that December has been fun and 2010 is definitely ending on a high note. :) :) :)

I'm proud to report that I received 30 orders this month, and knitted 25 scarves, 11 pairs of mittens, 4 pairs of baby booties, and 2 hats, in addition to some other random small items that will probably make an appearance in the shop soon. My hands and arms are tired, and I couldn't be happier. The picture below was taken on my phone at 2:30 AM on December 20th, and it's just a snapshot of the last handful of Christmas orders that went out that day. It's interesting to see that this picture is totally lacking color - it actually makes me smile to see that my customers are drawn to the same earthtones that I find so appealing in knits...

blue christmas

Did I mention that blue is my favorite color? Visit this treasury here.

the sound of water makes me sleepy

Late night stumbling on the internet ... and I wish I were about to crawl into this bed. My fascination with the ocean is still going strong, and I would be in heaven here. Isn't it beautiful?

*victory dance*

I got a new and much better job today, and my store hit (and passed) 100 sales this morning! It's time to celebrate...
