Its all true, the boogie girl is real, and you've found her. She knits, sews, spins, does pottery and writes it all down in this blog.

Stinky feet, booger faces, and grilled cheese please.
So Moira had her xmas pics taken, what a funny bunny she is. I'll post a pic when they come in next week. After the picture taking event, and the even bigger event of taking Miss Wild Child out to eat we took her to Halcyon Yarn. This child is such a wild and crazy being in a yarn store, even moreso than I am sheesh. Wanna see what I came home with? 
No, I didn't buy it all. My mom is worse than I am and she doesn't even knit. she spent $50 on sock yarn for me to make her socks after xmas. She was in love with one pair there but they had no more yarn, she was bummed, I already made her a pair like it and wasn't sure she would like such a color. She's so funny, everything I said I wanted to make and everything she saw finished there, she wanted. And to think I only went to pick up those 2 hanks of blue Bartlett wool to make felted slippers for my dad.
Here's my moms fuzzy foot that I got done last night and the piece of the second one that I did, I haven't touched them today, on the road I was working on a pair of socks. I really like the color of the wool (Its koolaid dyed - I love koolaid) 
Last but not least, I finished my new pretty needle roll today. Its all black and grey, fish on the outside and spider webs on the inside. I love it, its so pretty. I have enough material to make one more, so instead of being greedy and having 2, I will probably ebay the other one.
All in all it was a good day. I spent most of my free time at home sewing the commisioned bags and needle rolls. They are all pretty and done. I know they will be pleased, I really like them. I think I need to make more for ebay or for shops. No pic yet. I will try to remember to take one before I ship them out tomorrow. I hope to finish the fuzzy feet tonight so I can start on my dad's fuzzy feet. Then maybe a pair for Jay if he likes them. Mom really likes the idea of water bottle cozies so I'm gonna try to make a couple of those. Its almost xmas, eeps. My family knows I don't give a ton at xmas but I give gifts all year round. I like special little tokens when there is no "reason"
I almost forgot - the new knitty is out and I am in love with that shawl. The more I think about it, the more I think I need to buy that yarn I've got on my knitpicks wish list. I need that shawl. I like the non mitered corners. I'm not keen on the ties but I like the different shape. I was thinking about charting out a miter but I think I like them the way they are, its a little different. I want a nice warm shawl but I do like it when this stuff doesn't look too plain or same ole same ole.
