Mad Hatter, or something like that!

Do you remember this adorable hat I was working on?

You know, this one found at www.redheart.com ? Go check this site for a TON of awesome *FREE* patterns (knit and crochet). Isn't this girl CUTE?! One of the Double Stitch Twins, (their etsy shop is here: DoubleStitch ) can you imagine 2 of these beautiful girls? Oh, their poor Papa!!

Cute, hun??

But then again...

 I could hardly quit laughing to get pictures....

 and you thought wings were just for maxi pads!

 Yo, Yo... Snoop Dogg, double G.... G as in Gansta'

DANG, all that adorable turquoise yarn...I don't know what went wrong. I followed the pattern to a T. Think how lucky my someday grandchildren will be: photo albums of their famous blogger Granny in her awesome sexy poses and a trash bag full of crochet oopsie's!

'Cause I need to waste more time!!

"Pin It"

do you know what that means?  If you don't...run! Run far, run fast.  Or perhaps I should think of it as a way to save time?!.... 

Pinterest: an online bulletin board where you can "pin" everything you see online and want to save!  It's like crack for people like me!

go HERE!

I've only wet my toes so far, but it's a slippery slope people, a SLIPPERY SLOPE!  Not only can you "pin" stuff you like, you can follow people and see what they've pinned and once you're into that it's like a labyrinth!  

You can find blogs, flickr people you love, products you must have, clothes you'd die for...Oh it is NEVER EVER EVER ENDING!  I can't breath, I could possibly be having a panic attack- a pink glittery panic attack!  The amount of gorgeous, creative, glittery, whimsical fabulousness that is out there overwhelms me!!!

Since I started this post, I've added new "boards", pinned several items, and re-pinned...AND pushed the dog off my seat 3 times as he likes to lay by me and release toxic dog farts!  

I'm livin' the dream!

Here's my day today (in addition to pinterest):

Yesterday after I ran my right knee was stiff, then it looked like a softball... I have no idea what happened.  I'm laying low and keeping it iced all day.  You know I've got that race this Saturday! Grrr, injuries!

Maybe this messed up my knee, maybe I shouldn't be shaking my $ maker...

No, I definitely shouldn't!!!!

So now I can sit in my chair and make this cute hat and not feel bad that I'm being unproductive.  Ha, who am I kidding, do I ever feel bad about that!?!?

Hope you have a great day and if you check out pinterest....

don't say I didn't WARN you!

Good stuff, 'cause it's Monday!

I went to an awesome antique shop this weekend, 2 of them actually.  There was SO much stuff, 3 floors FILLED to the gills with stuff!!

Did I have my camera? NO!

WHAT?? That's like peanut butter with no jelly!!

I know, I know!!

SO many photo op's but don't worry, that will not be my last time to that place!!

I spent $2.  I'll show you tomorrow what I bought (see how I'm making sure you come back?! I mean, if that isn't high suspense, I don't know what is, it's like a blog cliff hanger!!).  I wanted to buy the life story of Xavier Roberts and his Cabbage Patch Dolls, but it was $3, for .25, it would have been mine!

Anyway...

Baby Hat Drive for children in China...

a little plug about my 

❉ ❉BABY HAT DRIVE ❉ ❉

As most of you know, my daughter was adopted from China

 and I left a little piece of my ❤heart❤ there.  There are so many wonderful children that will live their entire lives in orphanages (well, until they are teens and no longer available for adoption or care...).  I'm collecting hats to send to an orphanage in China to keep the children and babies warm in the winter.  Many live in orphanages that are without heat.

1. make a baby hat, toddler hat, or kid sized hat ➺you can take the non-crafty way out and buy one (or more) if you must

2. email me at: chinamommy_04@yahoo.com for my address.

3. I'll take care of shipping them to CHINA next fall.  I must have them in my hands NO later than Oct 31, 2010!!

any questions- please feel free to email me!!
