woot! last day of school for the year! that means 2 weeks of sleeping in! YESSSS.

my dad mentioned on monday, that fleece was the "in" thing on the ski slopes for keeping warm. so, since he, mom, kay, and bray are leaving on sunday to go skiing i decided to whip him up a fleece pullover. never made one before. but i knew i had a pattern for one and i knew that i had fleece--so why not try?! i finished it up last night. i am not completely satisfied with the zipper part. i always do a pattern the way it says the first time. the next time i make alterations if needed. well to me this pattern needs some! i will def omit the zipper next time and the pockets. pockets because i'm lazy. zipper because fleece has plenty of give and it can easily be pulled over your head. no need for the zipper! anyways, if dad doesn't like it i will not be offended! it's not perfect and it was made fast. but the next time it will be awesome.

indyanna took the picture.....


i made neck warmers for the skiers out of the fleece scraps. indyanna also took a picture of me modeling one but it's way scary close up to the point where you can see the dirty pores in my face. so i'll wait and get another picture of one being worn by bray and post that.

and here's a picture of boston and indyanna just cause they wanted a picture taken of themselves. but it's all cool--cause i realized i made both of their bottoms.

2008-12-10 post craft fair

well, i had a blast at the craft fair and i broke even so i'm gonna say it was a success! the "hunk holders" sold like crazy! i'm so glad that i decided to do them--the morning that i was to leave for the fair! nothing like last minute projects. i even had bray working like crazy. he quilted all the "hunk holders". and did a mighty fast and fine job of it too, might i add. just don't tell him i told you. he earned some cha-ching for it so that made it worth his while. you know teenagers.....he has no clue that i snapped this picture. and i'm pretty sure he'd kill me if he knew i posted it! so keep it on the down low!


and here's a shot of our booth. we had a hodge podge of things in there.

2008-12-04 craft fair clothes

6 outfits for the craft fair. i know it's not the best picture but it's all i have right now. i'm working on sexy/dirty/filthy (depending upon how you look at them) potholders right now. craft fair is saturday. i'm leaving tomorrow after noon. hope it all goes well and that we possibly make some money........


update~i've finished A potholder. it wasn't that hard to do. but i def have some tweaking and kinks to work out before i am 100% satisfied. i'm pretty sure i'll be able to whip a few of these out tomorrow morning and possibly tonight while i dye my streak blue.
