Did you have a great Holiday?

I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving! This is the only thing I worked on hehe. I put it away yesterday and I'm about to go sew on the face. It is a custom order and I was so excited to do it :) I like how bright and primary it is. It reminds me of being young(er).

Acuvue Oasys

Yesterday I went to the eye doctor and he said "hey, let's try a pair of Acuvue Oasys." I agreed.

25 hours later, I was finally able to remove the contacts from my eyes.

The struggle began around 6 pm yesterday.

Needless to say, I'm going back to my Acuvue 2. I have been wearing contacts for 4.5 years.. with no problem removing them- not even the first time. You'd think I'd be ecstatic that they were so moist... but quite the contrary. I was scared monster-less when I couldn't remove them.


I feel relieved.

I've been busy. :) I currently have three monsters waiting for their faces. Not the greatest picture but I'll take a better one when I list them on Etsy, of course. The yellow is BRIGHT! I'm really proud with the way the wavy design turned out.

Also, the purple and green (yes, it's green. Washed out picture :/) is the softest and most plush thing I have ever felt.

Finally, the bright blue scarf is adult size!



Also, I started another adult size scarf. This one is turning out just as plush as the purple and green.

I'm not sure when these monsters will be getting their faces as I have a test to study for over the weekend, as well as another project to work on.

Hm, that's all! Just thought an update would be appropriate!

Attention Kid Shops!

A fellow Etsian, Vidia2be posted here about a charity drive her young daughter is trying to put together. Vidia is good people, so check out her post and try to contribute something if you can! I think it's very sweet of her daughter to be this considerate at such a young age.

It puts a big smile on this scarfmonster's face.

Google Base

Today I was perusing the forums and stumbled upon an old post, describing how to get your items into Google Shopping results.

http://www.etsy.com/forums_thread.php?thread_id=5809590


The whole process took me 5 minutes and it wasn't hard at all. My items are currently waiting to be published, but the upload was successful.

I'm not sure how much this will really help, but anything is worth a try!

Here is Frank's disgruntled cousin, Mildred.

She and I have great adventures together.

Did you know Mildred is the Scrabble master of Ohio?

How she got to Ohio from Florida, I'll never know, but she is.

Honest...I have the plaque to prove it.

...

Seriously.

Hmm

The past few days, I've been asked whether or not I make adult size scarves. I think this is something I'm going to include in my etsy shop very soon! Keep an eye out!

Monster cards!

These came in the mail for me today and I'm in love.

Welcome home, Poseidon

I was at Walmart tonight with the boyfriend and saw all of the betta fish looking sad. There was one that made eye contact with me and flapped his little fins gleefully, so I took him home and named him Poseidon.

Yes, I named him after my scarf monster.
