Fall is in the air

I can feel it getting closer every day! The mornings are brisk, and the leaves are beginning to turn. I don't know if I'm ready for it, like that matters. I appreciate not having to run the air conditioner! It has been a cool summer overall, only getting really hot for a few weeks. Keep telling me about global warming *rolls eyes*.

It gets me in the mood for knitting big fuzzy sweaters! I have one on my to-do list, just have to finish my other sock, my Hat Attack hat (deadline to sign up is Sept 8), some arm/wrist warmers...and on and on and on. Good thing I like hanging out at home! I'm trying to figure out when I became a homebody...must have been recently. I can spend the whole weekend without feeling the need to go anywhere, and I love it :)

New Sock

Yep, just one *heehee*. I finally finished a cable sock, and I'll be starting a new one tonite. I'm going to try a new method, Magic Loop knitting. It is supposed to work with small circumferences without having to use dpns. It will be interesting! The sock looks really odd. It is a nice dense knit, but with my feet, it appears to be really long and skinny.

OH! One of my eggs hatched too :)

Hat Attack!!

I signed up for Hat Attack. It is going to be a blast! It lead me to a wonderful website, Ravelry. It's nice to know there are twisted knitters out there. The projects are fabulous! I can't wait until the pattern for HA is released. I'm not anticipating lasting too long, but you never know. Zombie knitting works too *heehee*. The project calls for advanced beginner, so jump in if you dare!!


Knitter go smashy smashy!!

Dragon Eggs!

Ok, I am a fantasy nut...I love dragons, fairies, all that good stuff! I'm trying to hatch a dragon egg, so click on it so my baby will come on out :)

Yeah!!

The website is updated with a fun new layout!! You can check it out at http://www.airofdistinction.com! I was bored for a few minutes and browsing around other sites and there must have been half a dozen with the same look as mine. There may be several out there that have the same look now, but at least I can customize the header (which happens to be the same as this one 'cause I like it).

Another ACEO

I love these cards! I think I may put too much time into them, but what the heck! This is another little one with a unicorn called "Sunrise Gift." I may put it up for sale on Etsy...I just have to decide if I can part with it.

The polar bear has been sent on vacation. I have too much time invested to completely throw it, but I have been getting frustrated with it. Too much white white to get a good finish on black paper :(

Website is back!

I have been busily updating my website. It doesn't take long for it to become frustrating heehee. I have been making beads and jewelry on a regular basis as well. It feels so good to be back in action! I even have some stuff listed on Etsy! Now all I have to do is figure out how to get the mini-Etsy shop in the side bar LOL!

EDM 13 - Draw a phone

Finally! My first edm!

I have a love/hate relationship with my cell phone. I love how it looks, I love what it can do, I love being able to call anyone, anywhere, anytime. I hate when it rings when I'm driving though!

I had the great thrill of listening to a telecon this morning, and my cell was laying on the desk. I figured it was a good time to see if I could still do a pencil drawing. It has been ages! I forgot how difficult it can be to transfer color to b&w!

Better now

Well I finally got some of my links back, and found a few new ones as well. I love looking at other peoples art! I could spend days just following links from site to site to site! I know I have lost several hours just paging through blogs. If you have an art blog, send me the link and I will gladly check it out.

How do you like my sparkly? Kind of funky isn't it? I downloaded the Webfetti for the templates (see previous post *rolls eyes*) and I figured I may as well get something cool out of it.

ARRGH!!

I learned a valuable lesson this weekend...leave well enough alone! I decided to spruce up my blog. I found some websites that have different blogger templates, some very cool. Well...they ate my links! I am a bit frustrated. I hope I can remember all of the cool places I had listed.
