I’m told that I’m a mean drunk. would like to get a second opinion.

I rather feel like work is a hamster wheel and I’m just trotting along all clueless.

Protected: m for manic phase, maybe i’ll get something done

Pro-craft-ination

List of stuff I wanna craft, intend to craft, all that jazz.

I have discovered several bits and pieces I want to do, like re-vamping old clothes. putting somethin cute over a hole or a stain, hemming, make shorts out of pants, all that jazz.

Which is a gateway drug into getting my sewing machine running away with itself, and then I start thinking about the patchwork denim quilt I want to do, or the quilt made of Scout t-shirts….

At some point I come back to my senses and decide I should finish projects I chose to start a year ago.

And I found plarn! I have discovered plarn and V-yarn!!! joy joys, making stuff with vcr and cassette tape. little shiny bags! from a site so awesome I forgot to breathe for a minute, www.myrecycledbags.com. Sooo many good ideas here, I may start bugging her for more denim patterns. So, I want to try a vcr tape project first, probably a bag of some kind. the cassette tape is smaller, so more of a girly bag project. or hair barrettes….yeah. gettin ideas, I love that.

So, I’ve had a goal for a while to crochet a reversible swiffer sock and keep getting closer, might actually pick out yarn tomorrow. I’ve got a pattern! Found on Ravelry, with a truly wonderful tute, lots of pics, for a Reversible Swiffer Sock.

Next idea on the list is for a rag rug made of t-yarn (t-shirt strips as yarn) but I don’t want to do the traditional round rag rug, so I’m experimenting with pattern ideas. But I want a rug in the kitchen, and now I saw a pattern for a little rug made with recycled plastic, like bread bags, everything in a plastic bag, y’know? So you make yarn from it, make a rug from it, and put it under the trash can!! keeps the floor clean. I love it!

Have I mentioned the boobies yet?

I have decided that I shall knit some knockers. There’s a great site explaining the whole thing here, but basically they are knit (or crochet) prosthetic breasts for women who have had mastectomies.

and I think there might be a yarn sale coming up at Michael’s…….
