Because words cannot describe how excited I was to get this package in the mail today.

I have been waiting very impatiently by my mailbox for this little guy from Odd One Out for a few days now. Through no fault of Fiona's, of course -- international shipping doesn't happen overnight, but I really really wish it did. Ever since I fell in love this Frankie I have been dying to own on of her brooches, and my wish came true today!

Things didn't start out pretty, though.

After I brought the mail in and set everything on the table, I ran to my room to grab my camera so I could take pictures of some new hair ribbons I made. When I came back I was sure glad I had it, because I found this.


... Oh dear. I was too dumbfounded to react at first. The cats hadn't done it, they were all hiding. Then he climbed out of the wreckage and started tottering toward me.


I tried restraining him using the ribbon Fiona used to tie the package with, which was a success!


... But only temporarily. He seemed madder after he ripped the ribbon away Hulk-style.


He put me under some sort of spell as he wobbled nearer; I was powerless to escape his rugged good looks and charming smirk.


He came nearer and nearer, until...


He insisted I get a good close-up of his good side. I was only too happy to oblige.

P.S. Can I just say how AWESOME her business cards are? Whoamg

special offer

On the verge of going double-digits in the sales column, I had an idea. Buy any item, get any item FREE! For our 10th sale, choose any item of equal or lesser value than your original purchase at absolutely no additional cost. This will not be announced on Etsy. Include your choice of free item in Notes to Seller upon purchase of first item and I will unlist it and ship along with your purchase. Happy shopping!

cocky cozies

I decided to look through some coffee cozies and other assorted crochet items on Etsy today, just to see what was out there. Crochet never really appealed to me. It always seemed so dowdy and blah, and there's such an abundance of scarves and whatnot that I always just sort of ignored it. Today I was proved wrong. Astoundingly, spectacularly wrong.

I saw this one first, thought it was cute. It made me smile. I would own something like this, even though I don't drink much coffee. Actually something like this would inspire me to drink more coffee just so I could use it.



So I decided to look at the rest of the store to see what other silliness resided therein.





And of course, my favorite...


And those are just the COFFEE CUP cozies. There are apple cozies (which I still don't understand at all), iPod cozies, plus other assorted knitted stuff like scarves, hats, jewelry, home accessories, etc. etc.

Check out the store! ~ Knotwork Shop on Etsy ~

features, round 1

Long overdue to be sure, my first set of features! No real theme, just whatever struck my fancy. I went hunting last night (meaning I made a "COME TO ME" thread on the forums haha) and saw some really amazing items. These are all things I would buy if I had endless space and money. Click on the pictures to view the Etsy listing.
