Busy Busy!

Wow, I can't believe I let that much time go by between posts! I have been up to my ears lately, just running all over the place and doing lots of different things. I have so many things I want to post about, but for some reason I can't seem to get motivated to take pictures of all the stuff. I don't know why - I used to be so into taking pictures. Oh well. I swear I will get some pictures of the garden, it's doing very well. I also have some new steampunk stuff in the works that I will show off soon. And some special crafty collaborations. And some lemony goodness. And I'm gearing up to play in a Dungeons and Dragons campaign (yes, I have played it many times before), and I'm making it swiftly throught a stack of books lent to me from 5 different people. I'm also on a diet, and I'm using this great site called SparkPeople to track my progress. Oh, also, I've added a list of all the other social networking sites I'm on over there on the side bar, in case anyone would like to say hello. Oh, and I chopped all my hair off:
Anywho, I will be back soon with something more interesting to say!

    Glad to hear things are going well. :-) Just for curiosity's sake is it a 3rd or 4th edition DnD campaign?

    We're doing a 3.5 Ebberon campaign. My boyfriend wants practice as a DM so it's just going to be me, him, and my roommate.

    I would just like to let you know that this post has pretty much changed my life. I've been reading your blog for a few months now, and I've enjoyed every single entry you have written. When I read this post, I decided to take a look at SparkPeople. I had been trying to diet on my own, and it just wasn't working out that great. Following your link was probably the greatest thing I could have ever done for myself. Thank you. :)

Crocheted Produce Bag

Well, I thought since the produce bag was something I just made up real quick I should post the pattern. I am sure there are way better ones out there, but most of them end up decreasing at the end to get a smaller opening, but I wanted mine large so leafy stuff that I buy in multiple little bunches could poke out, like baby broccoli or bok choy. So here is the pattern, just in case you want to make a couple as well. Materials: 1 skein Lion Brand Organic Cotton Yarn (#680), or similar worsted weight yarn Size I-9 Crochet Hook Little scrap of fabric (optional) Rnd 1: Begin with an adjustable loop , and crochet 12 double crochet (dc) into the loop and pull tight. Rnd 2: *Chain 7, skip 1 dc and slip stitch in next dc.* Repeat around. It should look like a little flower: Rnd 3: Chain 7, Slip stitch (slst) into 4th chain (ch) of round 2. You will ch 7 and attach it to the center of every little petal of the flower you created in round 2. At the end of the round ch 3 and slst into the 4th

A Mug Cozy Tutorial

Another year is over-and-done-with and a bright, shiny new one is ready to go. I can't wait! I always make really broad new year's resolutions so that I usually accomplish at least one. One thing I want to make sure to do this coming year is more giving on ye olde blog. I'm going to post more free tutorials and patterns, (I've been hoarding a few in hopes of selling them in my etsy store but I figure it's way more fun to have people stop by my blog to see them for free instead!) and I want to do a couple giveaways here and there. I feel silly sometimes because every year I mean to do a "blogiverssary" post and give something away in celebration, but I end up missing it every time. Come this next July my blog will be 4 and darn it I'm going to celebrate! This thing is by far the longest running project I've ever done and I love it so much! Anywho, on to the start of my new year's resolution, a mug cozy tutorial for you all! Crocheted Mug Cozy Pa
