Inspiration abounds...

Because I had to share... 

Have you ever checked out the Super eggplant blog? Well, this is the person who made up the Java-a-go-go coffee cup sleeve. She also sews some awefully cute stuff and I just HAD to go to J-town and check out the Kinokuniya Bookstore and see what the Japanese Sewing book offerings were.

I didn't find the book she has, but I found a couple others. Of course, I can't read Japanese, but I decided it is still fun to have the ideas and pretend I could pull some of this stuff off! Unfortunately, I think that i'm supposed to be good at pattern drafting in order to execute alot of the lovely fashions shown in these books/magazines. And no, I have yet to acquire pattern-drafting skills beyond the simplest ones I've done for quilting...

And how about the cute purse?!

What I love about the Rockin' Sock Club...

My latest Socks that Rock Club Kit!!! 

You know, Blue Moon Fiber Arts is one awesome place! The Rockin' Sock Club is awesome not only because their sock yarn is wonderful, but...
LOOK WHAT THEY SENT?! I first joined for 1/3 year, and then upgraded to the full year. I STILL got the binder and extras! Hoorah for Blue Moon Fiber Arts! (Tina, Kaci and the rest, to be exact!) They could have easily not given me the extras, since I didn't initially sign up for the full year to begin with, but they took care of us late-comers!

So the treat of this shipment? Of course, the mini-skein and newsletter, but I also got a cute STR tatoo! I'll have to save it for the right occasion!

WOW! Long time, no post...

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last posted. Well, I have been busy with the MIL in town and a nice side trip down to San Diego!

Since the last post, I made a felted bowl for a friend's birthday--no pic of the finished piece! I did get a pic of the 'before'. BUT...I did receive my THIRD Socks that Rock kit! The pattern is "Hippie Crunchy"...soon to post pics!
