Get yer Easter bunnies

well people I'm fresh out of socks.

These are the only two bunnies,
and I'm selling them locally.

So if you live in or near Sarasota
you can find them here

Things are good. I'm knitting a few aliens.

I've already ordered valentines day cookies,
received them and promptly ate them.

I love Dancing deer baking Co.

once and only once

I've always wanted a gingerbread house.

I ordered a kit from STONEWALL KITCHEN
it came with everything needed except for:
an expert decorator.
The whole icing 'hold it til it sticks'
was a serious problem for me.
I have the attention span of an ant.

THINGS LEARNED:
The gingerbread smells SO good.
Royal icing is a pain.
Lightweight things work the best
(especially on the roof) like gum drops.
The ice cream cone trees were the fun part.
Must have lots of patience and then some.

*note to future gingerbread house constructors...
I made this in Florida. Yes it can be done.
I kept it in the microwave oven
while waiting for the icing to setup completely.*

we are having a pink christmas

It's hard getting into the holidays
when its still 80 degrees out,
and you KNOW there will be no snow.

I was having a really bad day when it dawned on me....
if we are going artificial,
lets really do it!

The dog really isn't into it.
I just made her sit there.
She's colorblind after all (or so they say).

Now I gotta find super sized silver balls.
'Cuz not only are we pink,
but we're also going big.

El E. Phant

The latest greatest sock dood....
up for show for a personal adoption (KT!)
...he was not approved
therefore will be looking for a home at

THE ATOMIC HOLIDAY BAZAAR

I'm making a basket of them- all different types.

Totally burned out on jewelry,
making one piece to donate for a domestic violence charity.
That one's gonna be cool if I can pull it off.

tooth buddies

They look like your normal sock pals.....
but hidden on the back is the tooth pocket.
Not to worry the fairy knows all about it,
we had a conversation months ago
about how stressful it is to A) find the tooth
and B) not waken the sleeping one.

Talk about stress- I did something I should never do,
I took on a commission job thats
too low paying and its production line work.
Now I'm mad and regretful and overwhelmed.
So if you don't hear from me for awhile
just know I'm sitting at my bench swearing a lot
with my back hurting and sore fingers.
Like a black cloud hanging over my head.

If anyone is interested in a tooth buddy drop me a line,
I'll tell you what sock options are left.
I didn't make enough to put in my etsy store.
Whenever I think I have a good idea, a lot of the time it flops.
So speak up if your 5 or 6 year old is starting to wiggle
their teeth and they're scared-
I sell them for 18 dollars each.
Shipping is usually about 3 buckeroos.
