and now for something completely different
To quote Monty Python above. Not all things in my life are of a depressed, angry nature. I must offer some reassurance to you all that the Pits of Despair are not as near as they appear. The Cliffs of Insanity, now, they might be right around the corner. To that, one must say, "Inconceivable!"
Below are some good things:
It's snowing today. Flurries, they say, but they can be wrong! Too bad so many daffodils came out early, from all that unnatural warmth lately.
A said, quite philosophically today, "Sometimes crunchin cereal turns into squishy, dat's right." A chorus of Amens from my corner.
I received my very first check for publishing a crochet pattern! Yay! The company, Lark Books,
has tons of different categories of books on crafts etc. My pattern will be part of a book on crocheted fiber jewelry, coming out in the fall sometime. I can't wait!
Check out some photos of recent work on yahoo. Go to the "crochet" folder and scroll down, and you'll see a few things, including a gift for my big sister's birthday and my new curtain in the bathroom. I call it "Ducks in a Row," and it replaces a truly hideous, TP-dust-filled monstrosity of lacy panels, in keeping with the Country Hell Aesthetic of the former owners. And it only took 6 years for me to change it. Imagine the possibilities for the rest of the house! D pulled off the wallpaper border of roses, and once the window is replaced we'll tackle repainting the walls in there. Anyway I bought some happy yellow ruffles at Goodwill the other day for 3 bucks, which I installed in my studio and in the bathroom. Then I made some crochet duck appliques and a border for a leftover gauzy curtain I had hemmed too short to use in my bedroom. The other panels I'm going to use in the dining room, with other crocheted appliques (more to come on that front. It's going to take a lot longer for those, with the idea I have. But they're going to be really cute and happy, like the room.). So there we are. It's 10 AM and I need to actually accomplish something today.

Super cute! Hey I miss you, let's get together real soon?
thanks! I'd love to! (I'll email...) mk
The black beaded necklace is so pretty. I have been making necklaces myself of late. I also love the ducks and the bears. I cant believe that you actually made little outfits for that doggie!! Youre getting so good. Will you crochet barbie bras next?
Those are so cute! I'm getting ready to do some curtains myself - did you handsew the appliques to the curtain? I'm nervous about using my machine on organza-type fabrics... :)

I draw the line at barbie bras...but I'll try just about anything once!
thanks for all the compliments!
--I hand-sewed the appliques on the curtains, and I am not a very skilled sew-er (sewer? ew!), seamstress is the word. Luckily no one sees the back of the curtains for the frankenstitching. :)
I think you are going to enjoy this smurf link!
