Spring Cleaning


Ahh the dreaded “spring cleaning”. Sometimes I feel like there are not enough hours in the day to get things done. If I put 100% effort into a project, then other tasks fall by the way side. I have put so much energy into designing some new patterns for my Etsy store… As a result my home looks like it was struck by a tornado. I spent all weekend making 2 monkeys for my latest pattern. The pattern will hit Etsy sometime later this week. www.hairsewvintage.etsy.com. Once I was done with the second critter I hurriedly listed both on Ebay and then breathed a long sigh of relief. I decided to make a pact with myself that I would do a thorough spring cleaning. In order to focus on this cleaning extravaganza, I have made the very hard decision to put down my crochet hook for the next week! That’s right, NO crocheting for a solid week. It may be hard since I am so addicted to creating things, but I vow to put the hook down and concentrate on cleaning and catching up on my studies. I have enlisted the help of my husband. Together we should be able to whip our home into tip top shape. Be able to “eat off the floor” tehe=)

I have a little reward to look forward to next week. I am taking 2 vacation days to spend time with my mommy. We are working on yet another new crochet critter pattern for Etsy. The critter will be announced soon so stay tuned. While on my mini vaca, Lionsgate will be releasing horrorfest 2010 The 8 Movies To Die for onto DVD. I foresee a few trips to B-Buster since my mother and I are huge low budget horror fans. I could use a breather from my 9-5er. Hurry Up Tuesday the 23rd!

Learning to sew


I just wanted to share some exciting news... Yesterday I made a special trip to our local Barnes and Noble bookstore. I love the smell of bookstores. Not to mention our Barnes and Noble has a quaint little Starbucks inside of it. I asked a lady behind the help desk to assist me in finding a few books on learning how to sew. I learned how to crochet from my mother, but I have only ever been able to sew basic stitches. Mending torn clothes here and there, nothing fancy. I have always dreamed of sewing or embellishing my own clothes and hair accessories. I found 2 books packed full of stitches, appliques, sewn flowers, and even ripped up and redesigned T-shirts. I started reading one of the books last night. I just can't wait to get started!! My next purchase will be a pin-able mannequin (dress Form). On another note I hope to have my white Rabbit finished & listed on ebay tonight. You can find my ebay profile under seller ID bears_n_hares. That will clear my schedule for the weekend so I may finish designing my thread crochet monkey pattern & maybe hit up a few thrift stores.

My first List


I have been a lazy, naughty, good for nothing blogger! So many exciting things have happened since my last blog. If I went into detail on each one, I would have a 700 page novel. So I thought I had better just put them in list format. Here goes..

1. Had a lovely Christmas with all of my family & got some great gifts
2. New Years Eve was a blast at Disney's Hollywood Studios w/ my hubba
3. My husband took me to my first ever pop concert on Jan 3rd 2010 to see my FAVE...Lady Gaga @ the UCF Arena in Orlando. What a blast=)) She was AMAZING!!
4. Saving for a new Car. Interested in something boxy such as Nissan cube, Scion XD or XB, or maybe a Kia Soul.
5. Engrossed in Deadwood (amazing series) the ending of the last season leaves you hanging and then the show was canceled. UGGG what a bummer.
6. Finishing Deadwood left an emptiness in me only to be filled by another series. I love bonding with a set of characters and following them for as long as I can, therefore, I am giving Dexter a chance. BTW the shows star Michael C Hall has made a statement declaring he has cancer. How sad=( Hope he pulls through.
7. Focused and dedicated to my daytime job (the 9-5er) trying to rake in commission and overtime for the "NEW CAR FUND".
8. Listing bears on Ebay and I have quite the following at the current moment. I have some GrEaT customers. Of course proceeds are going towards the "NEW CAR FUND".
9. My movie theater room/studio is almost done. WooHoo!! I need a few finishing touches here and there & one last piece of furniture and tada. Ps I am in love with IKEA, great finds at astounding prices.

Well that about covers it in a nutshell. Check out my current auctions on Ebay.com here is the link to my things
