UFO's...they are all over my house!!

Yea, I really wish it was the cool spaceship kind of UFO's with little aliens inside..I could get them to take me to some other planet.  I'd be a great Rick/Morty character...ah well, no, I'm talking about UFO's..or UFP's...UnFinished Objects/Projects!!

I keep finding little bags of yarns, needles, thread, fabric...so many things I started and just never finished. I tend to keep/hoard, craft items...I have bins and comforter blanket zip bags full and tucked away all over the house and garage, full of yarns or fabric or paracord or lace or threads or linen or scrapbooking supplies or possibly 3 die cutters...you know it's whatever..my point is I may have a problem..but it's ok...that's for another episode.

Today while showing my son how to cross stitch, so he could stitch out a Totodile that I found for him on Etsy. There are so many great designers on Etsy, I found a bunch of super adorable fandom type stuff and we are both kind of excited to do more! I had to find him some thread/floss or whatever you prefer to call this, I call it both. I knew I had at least 3 smallish bins full of the stuff! We found one pretty easily and it had lots of my more expensive stuff unfortunately, so I found him the other bin with the less expensive floss hahaha and we went from there.

ANYWHO, while working with him, I found a little bag with a project I was working on about 5 years ago! It's a cross stitch, based on the movie "Labyrinth". The one with David Bowie, and the crazy muppets and stuff all through it, and the baby in the weird where's waldo pajamas? Yea, you know the one...So this is the "Power of the Babe..." quote and it is surrounded by an art deco kind of frame and I am pretty sure it was supposed to be a gift for someone, but I ended up buying something instead...I may have gotten busy, I may have gotten bored, I may have just run out of time who knows.
                                                                                                          


My son is super excited though because I started stitching on it again a bit and he loves that we can do the same thing together. I hope he loves crafting and grows to do great things. If not then I hope he just does enough to make himself happy :) I love seeing him so happy with himself. He is having some ticking while cross stitching so it isn't like sewing was, but like I said he's happy so I'm happy..

New bags for the new year! PLUS A SALE!!!

I have tried for months to be able to work up new designs and patterns for new style bags in the shop. I know my dice bags have been very popular and that's great but I really love creating.

I thought back to my knitting days, when I actually had time to do anything away from the computer. I loved project bags, I must've made over 100 bags that I would send to others in trades on Ravelry.

So, I went back into those notes and decided to finish up a couple patterns and actually make a couple to see if they were decent enough for the store. I'm glad I did because I love them!!

So I have 2 made in the shop, 1 I used patterned canvas for the outside, and I used cream twill for the outside of the other and embroidered on it. I'm not in love with the embroidery, but I think it will show that they can choose to have something embroidered and that's really the point I wanted to make..It's terribly hard for me to feel like I know exactly what people want embroidered on stuff...My hubby came up with the Chaotic Stupid idea, I was like "ehhh, really?" and he was right, as always.

So I blended my gaming side and knitting side and made a "Knitting bag of holding" haha I now think it would've been better if I put Project Bag of Holding...but I can do that next time..

I hope that I can stitch up a project one soon, but it's tax time and I'll soon be drowning in tax returns and hoping we can get everything on my "to buy at tax time" list this year!

Oh yea, the sale! Use code HAPPYNEWYEAR for 20% off purchases of $15 or more!

For now, I'll just keep breathing, just keep going, you should too!
