Oh Boy Howdy do I love this rug!

I am thinking, today is the day I make one for my bathroom.

Double worsted weight Peaches & Cream cotton on size 19 needles. Fabulous!

Santa Barbara Axxess Books~ I have them!!

Santa Barbara Axxess.

I sent out an email to quite a few of you a month back asking that if you are looking to purchase a 2009 SB Axxess card you please think of buying one from us. 

$10 of every $30 book will go directly to Sadie’s fund for her 6th grade Cataline Island trip.

We will have them available for the next 2 weeks!

You can call or email me, chauntel@cox.net, to let me know you are interested.

Thanks!

I think this is the cutest, simplest freakin’ bag I have seen in a long time! I think I may have to hit the fabric store soon for some really nice, heavier weight cotton to make myself one. Or two ;o)

If it goes quickly it would be a good idea for Christmas gifts as well.

Oh boy…my blog is boring

I know, I haven’t been posting much. I just don’t seem to care about the computer lately. I have barely been keeping up with my Ravelry stuff, using it only for reference.

School is going well. Work is not going so well. Everybody is so freaked out about the economy they are pinching pennies and keeping us out of work. Loosen up people! Then we could all help the economy out!

Once this election is over I have a feeling the fear and dread that has taken over will ease up a bit.

Knitting. Well knitting and crocheting have been coming along smoothly.  

I have been working on a few fun things, taking a few days off of actual knitting to work on a couple fair isle sweater designs that I want to actually charge for. Maybe that will bring in a few dollars for some more yarn & books & fabric ;o)

Here is a smattering of what I have been working on.

Cabled Jacket by Debbie Bliss- olive Rowan Cashsoft

Sunshine Sweater- Wild Orange Cotton Fleece

Laminaria Shawlette- Habu silk

Buttonhole Pi Shawl- Trekking Pro Natura wool/bamboo

 

SMS 411: How to send email to a phone

SMS 411: How to send email to a phone.

I love text messaging so I thought it was pertinent to find out every carriers sms code to send messages to my friends phones by emailing them from my computer. It bypasses having to go to the individuals cell carrier website and do it from there.

Easy-peasy!
