Fun Monday!

First up! Knee high navy argyle socks!












Second up! My flannel spidery-looking octopus that I made for Rigby's 1st birthday.
The rules were to give something reused or recycled. It's new, but it's home made.
I think I did pretty good!





















Third! I got home from work today to find two fun things in the mail!
A postcard from Pennie (Canadian) and Wilco (Dutch), my friends who live in Lucerne, Switzerland. They are travelling in North America right now. Such a nice surprise!
The box is from Leo & Kate of relic stoneworks in Iowa.









I almost died. I've wanted these forever!
Teardrop Mookaite!!!
I love them to bits!!!












And they are reversible!
All dark on one side and two toned burgundy/purple and yellow on the other!









So, for being a crazy and somewhat stressful Monday at work, it turned out pretty good!
Now I have to do a couple chores and eat, before turning in for some sleep!

And yes, I am wearing the plugs already!!

Dressew!

Kate and I are headed downtown today to check out Dressew for some Halloween bits and maybe just general craftiness. I love Dressew. I'll take some pictures. It's an amazing place.

After that, I may just come home and be crafty. Maybe hit the shop on my street that is only open when I am at work during the week. Jerks.

Tonight, a friend from work is having a party and I am attending. Turns out, through the small world that is, that the guy that rents his basement suite, is the guy that tattooed my stomach and pelvis ages ago. Haven't seen Trevor in like, at least 3 years. Should be interesting. I wonder if I shouldn't make that area.. presentable. haha!

Last night I was supposed to hang out with my friend Cam from work, and check out a new game, Dead Space. His girlfriend was going to join us for pizza. Well, the game itself is super creepy. I couldnt watch long, cause third person and first person shooter games make me car sick. But his girlfriend came over, and his roommate came home, and a buddy came over. And then suddenly Cam and the gf went to his room. Then she comes back out and announces that she has to have a serious talk with Cam and are we staying or leaving. It was very odd. I didnt see Cam again last night. Good thing I am friends with Steve, his roommate, as well. Could have been even more awkward. I hope its all good.

I also hope its not cause she was hanging out with me. I know Crystal as well, and have hung out with them both a few times, and her and I talk. But Ive found in the past that girls get jealous or threatened when I am around. And I am not after anyone's man. I can't think of a worse trait in a guy, than leaving their current girl for me. Who's to say they wouldn't do that to me down the road? For that simple fact alone, I do not EVER try to steal boyfriends/husbands. EVER. What sort of monster am I? I just get along with guys better, and Im usually friends with alot of guys. But nothing is going to happen. Ever.

It's how I got nicknamed Homewrecker back in Calgary. Three long term relationships dissolved around me, while I was just there. Guilt by association. I had nothing active to do with any of it. Maybe I just turned up for them when things werent good. If there isnt trust there to begin with, maybe thats what happens? I dont know. But it sucks. And Ive just realized that Ive gone on this big rant about something I have speculated. So, I'll just stop now and see what Cam has to say about it all.

Now, Im going to get ready to catch the bus for some crafty shopping!!!

buttons!

Amalie! here is the book I told you of. There are so many great pictures in here for crafts. My only sadness is that we will lose the ones on the backside of whatever we choose. Unless we get some laser copies first... hmmmmm

keepin on

I just finished getting my craft on, and made a make-up brush holder for my Mom like the one I use. She coveted it when I was there last. Its done in some orange-y striped fabric that I love. Im almost jealous of it, but mine has dinosaurs so its an automatic win.

Threw out two huge bags of garbage, and have a big pile of stuff to try to sell off. My kitchen will have lots to leave behind, thats for sure. There are very few things that I want to take with me, that I can actually use (plug in) over yonder.

My feet are bruised, scabby and so effin itchy I could die. I want the scabs to get lost already, cause Im freaking myself out about blow-outs. Not much to be done about it at any rate.
