Bats in the Belfry...

Oh, my!

 

 Bats and bats and bats!

 While making these bats, I have been watching a lot of "Lost Girl" and therefore, all the bats are named after characters from the show.

 I didn't realize how few characters there were in it!   ...At least that I wanted to name the batties after.

Bo, Kenzi, Lauren, Tamsin, Ciara, Trick, Dyson, Hale, Vex, those are the only ones..  Hmm.

 I would like to add how silly I felt when I started watching this show, and was all too quickly hooked...  I have Netflix, which is very happily welcomed in the house of a crafter like myself.

 I like finding kind of lame shows that I don't really have to pay attention to, this way I can walk freely from room to room while working; Making coffee, grabbing supplies, staring down at my sewing machine for hours on end, listing items on Etsy, Facebook, etc...  I think I got past the first season before I started paying attention.  And when I did, I sure liked it!  Steve, of course would constantly make fun of me when he's walk in on me watching it.  As well as point out entire plots that are taken from other shows.  But I am such a sucker for a "supernatural" television program.   END RANT. 

P.S.

I haven't been sleeping well AT ALL!  Ha!

 These little cuties will be making their debut at The House of Usher Reunion Show in Oakland on October 24th and 25th...  The day is getting closer and closer!  So excited!

Holy black and whites, Batman!!!

Hello everyone!  Sorry for the serious lack of posting!  I am going to try doing it more often, swear!!!  I have been a very busy bee recently, and have a lot of fun shows coming up!

The next show is something that I have not done before, but I am very excited to try out!  I will be bringing my dolls to Oakland for The House of Usher Reunion Show!   http://houseofusher.club/

 

 It is the weekend before Halloween, so I am making some spookier dolls that might appeal to the lovely people at the show, and there will also be an absinthe bar there, so all is good!!!

 The black and white collection has been so super fun to work on!!!  Who knew?!?

 So, ladies and gentlemen, stay posted, as I will be posting more frequently!  Thanks for stopping by!!!

Shawl Knitting...

Oh, how I love a good shawl... Or any shawl, or even just the process of knitting a shawl.  Over at Ben Franklin, I just finished my knit-a-long project for "The Age of Brass and Steam" And I have to say, I love it!!!  I went out of my normal color range I use when knitting for myself, and it feels so edgy for me to be wearing something rust and blue and violet!!!

Lovingly hand knit with one skein of Malabrigo Rastita, I am sure that this is just the beginning of this summer's shawl knitting obsession...

Oh, and did I mention that the pattern is available for free on Ravelry?
