Kind of a quiet crafting week here in Velma's World. Mostly material acquisition, in fact. But I did get some crafting in around the shopping and the 1,000+ pages I read this week. And I did ship a lot of COLORBOMB orders! That's one in the photo above, some hand-picked LooseyGoosey™ wool winging it's way to Bloomington, Indiana.
Since this is a Craft or Bust! update, let's see what other crafty stuff I did this week:
- spun & fulled 'Rosy Nipples', the skein of yarn in the pictures above, for my friend Melissa; it's a new style called Turbanator™
- landscaping the yard: 3 fruit trees + 3 spruce saplings = new beginnings! mostly I pointed where I wanted Cole & Jeanne to plant things & I photodocumented with before & after shots (practicing my photography, that's crafty, right?)
- went to Purl 'n Hurl (our SnB) & worked on my In a Theatre Darkly stole; it now measures ~14"
- acquired a bunch of craft supplies: vintage fabrics, a giant box of crochet cotton, & an antique paper cutter - lots of plans for these goodies
- yarn p0rn stash enhancement: Noro Cash Iroha & Wollmeise 80/20
- attended monthly Midnight Madness at LYS - knitting 'til Midnight! captured the shot below, of Bea's baby booties
I guess I did get some crafting done this week! Looking forward to more in the coming week!
