Blog #19 In Which Bettie Posts Several More Pigchurs, 'Cause She Knows How To Do That Now.....

Another satisfied Needle for Hire customer! Not one of my cats by the way. This is a Simplicity pattern, no clue what number and we will not be hunting down the number just so that we can post it here. It was, however, MY idea to make the absurd cat tepee thing out of an old chenille bedspread. I am thinking that the Stinkiecat needs one of these. Bad. Real bad. Though he may end up wrastlin' Alex for it. I have a lovely jade green chenille spread that has no particular purpose in life.

The curtain project will be up soon. In the condo of their owner and here. I had texted their owner and well, her texts go to her work email. She tends to not read the work email.

I am hemming a wedding gown for the sister of a friend. It's the sister that she had always said I reminded her of. Too bad she is moving away after the wedding, we do have a lot in common. It was funny. She walked into my apartment, and the first thing she said was, "you knit!" The second was, "I've never seen so much Panda Cotton in one place in my whole life!" I had just been to Loopy Yarns for the first time and 6 ball of Panda Cotton, 4 skeins of Soxx Appeal, some new Addi's to try out that whole knitting-a-sock-on-two-circulars, some new cable needles and a wee bit of Fixation was the result. Oh. And two new books. 'cause I have no knitting books. Teeheehee. I made a pair of socks this week. Out of yarn from the Dagmar Klos dye workshop I went to in April? May? Something like that. I just have to Kitchner the toes together. I still have yarn left. I don't what else to make. Maybe some lil' footie socks.....

I must sleep. Big brunch plans for tomorrow and am wanting to do some sewing before going to eat brunch and drink many, many Bloody Marys.

Blog #18, HA!!!

I am not dumb! I FINALLY figured out how to post the damned picture!!!!! Ha! HAHA! HAHAHA!

Now I can proudly tell everyone I know to read my blog without feeling like a lame-o-dumbass who can't figure out how to post pictures. Much more inspiring. In which I mean that it will be much more inspiring to blog more now that I am capable of illustrating all of my excellent points with photos. heeheehee.

Blog #17, Am I Counting Okay Now?

Can I just say how much I adore seeing HRHMFWP every time I come here? HRHMFWP stands for His-Royal-Highness-Mr.-Fluffie-Wuffie-Pants. That would be Alex. And if you think I am a dork for calling him that, then you are CLEARLY not a person who has EVER shared their life with a pet and should be banned from the planet. No, universe. And speaking of the universe, when is someone going to make some new totally kick-ass science fiction movies? Seriously, is there an X-Men #4 in the works or anything? Perhaps I will have to accept The Golden Compass as good enough. Which you should go and read before the movie comes out. It's amazing. The book, I have no clue what the movie will be like. Dare I say it? Better than Harry Potter..... just my humble opinion.

What the fuck? Did I switch this from sewing/knitting chatter to movies and not tell myself?

I am hemming a wedding gown and making a wrappie-stole type thing for one bride, a whole more casual wedding frock for another. ( Think cocktail frock, but in white.)

I am waiting to hear when I can go and hang curtains. Which are done. Which have been done for a week now.

I am working on several other sewing projects of which I cannot speak. It is almost Christmas you know.

I do have two pairs of severely fashionable pants cut out for Jameseykins. Okay, okay, I know, he moves to Engalund on Friday. (booHOO) But I figure that I can fit them next time I see him and then mail them off when they are finished. I am knitting myself new socks to make myself feel better about him leaving. If that makes any sense at all......

I am doing much better with not spending all of my free time on Ravelry. I do still get sucked into the occasional thread on the forums, but it is much better. I do still check it before my email though. I was chosen as partner of the quarter at the Starbucks. Got a shirt, dress code, woohoo!, and a $50 gift card. I think it's time to buy me some KnitPicks Options needle. Maybe not the whole set, but the smaller ones that aren't interchangable. Then I knit socks on the train without having to worry about loosing my DPN's on the train.

Blog #16, In Which Bettie Realizes That She Ain't Not So Clever As She Thought

Which means that I realized that I figured out how to post pictures to the blog, not to the individual post. Still working on that one. So ya'll will have to wait to see the picture of Dad in his snazzy new shirt. Instead you get the perpetual cuteness of Alex, being a complete whore on the couch. Photo of Stinkiecat soon to come.

You know what else I realized? I have TWO Blog #10's. And no one bothered to tell me. Nice. It's like when I go to the bathroom at Starbucks and realize that I have had coffee ground on my cheek for the last 3 hours. Was no one going to tell me this? Sheesh.

Got a postcard from the gay ex-husband. It's got his new Engle-ish address on it. He's going to be living on Petworth Dr. I don't know why, but this amuses me greatly. Now I have to go and spend a small fortune on Engle-ish stamps. bah.

Short post. Got nothing to say. Must go sew a wedding frock bodice muslin.
