Fall Boobie Beanie Giveaway!!!

Ok, so I was going to wait a while before I did this but I already said something... may as well just do eeet! I'm having a Fall Boobie Beanie Giveaway!  Last time I had a giveaway it was because I was learning how to make the beanies so I had a giveaway for pre-made beanies.  THIS time... these are CUSTOM made beanies... That's right, MADE TO ORDER.  So if you win you get to pick nipple color, boobie color AND tell me how big your kiddo's head is :)  Oh... and there are THREE up for grabs. Are ya ready???

Waiting for my new circular needles!

I haven't really written much lately.  The reason for that is because I've been obsessed with trying to re-learn how to knit again.  You see, I missed knitting and after not doing it for so long, my brain was like, uh what?
   It really wasn't like hopping back on a bicycle (although I'm sure my brain would be like, uh what? on that aspect too).  I'm so used to crocheting that I had to get used to the mechanics of knitting again.  Not only that, I was trying something completely different on knitting than what I had before when I knit, circular needles.  I'd never tried them before.  See, I'm a SUPER basic knitter.  Not even knit 1 purl 1.  More like knit knit knit... I never really got past the simple learning aspect.  I'm like not even in knitting 101, more like knitting for dumbasses.  So over the last few days I've been slowly working with the cheapass circular needles I bought off ebay for like $2 (you SERIOUSLY get what you pay for) and I made a couple of beanie-ish things.  The first thing I did was really loose and my dog, Jasper saw it and just wanted it, so I gave it to him (he loves yarn toys) so after he and I had a game of tug o war with it, it's not really anything more than a headband like thing now (he ripped the top with his teefs).  HOWEVER, the second thing I made was pretty cute.  I made it with my friend in mind who is currently with child.  So since she's having a fall babeh, I thought about a pumpkin!  and created this:

Since I created that, I thought, hmmmm I wonder if I could do my boobies like this too?  So I made a boobie, but that's when my cheapie circular needles started going icky on me AFTER ONLY THREE projects.  :(  Well, I asked my beloved what he thought about me ordering a nice set of circular needles from KnitPicks (interchangeable try me set!) and he thought it was a good idea, so I used some of the lasts of our reserved birthday money and ordered em.  

   So my boobie beanie was CLOSE to what I'd want my boobies to look like, I'm almost there.  I did it in weird colors so I wouldn't waste my good boob yarn and you guessed it, Jasper saw the boobie and wanted that too... This one, he wouldn't play tug o' war with.  Weird dog.

April Update!

So, after blogging for 31 days straight I decided to take a break from blogging.  Not really from crafting or anything although I did take a couple of days to read the first 2 books of The Hunger Games Trilogy (I'm still working on the 3rd) but I've been a little busy lately and here's why, I got a pretty big custom order for TEN Boobie Beanies to be shipped to AUSTRAILIA!  My first international order y'all!!!

Then right after I finished that, I got ANOTHER custom request for a specific Boobie Beanie color.  Then like two days after I finished that, I got ANOTHER custom request for a another specific Boobie Beanie color.  So, the Boobies have proven to be pretty popular.

Then tonight I got a custom request for a Yoda hat for a small dog... I don't have a small dog, so I had to test the prototype on my cat.... He wasn't too happy with that.

Also toward the end of March I had a few personal issues arise as well and I'm still working on those, so that's been taking up a lot of my time as well.  I had a wonderful Easter with my In-laws and got to see my ADORABLE nephew and I am absolutely smitten with him.  My step son is now like half a foot taller than me and he's only 13!!!

But that's what has been goin' on over here in my neck of the woods.  I hope y'all are having a wonderful April!
