Playing Hooky…

Yeah, yeah… I had to finish it! I think I need a 12 step program for crafting. I just love making stuff. Honestly. I actually got up early this morning and planned to run a CD of photos to a client and then dash over to the craft store and see about getting a little needlework scroll frame. I had my trusty 40% coupon in hand and had searched all over the internet and had found frame for way too much money. I got a simple laptop one that started out at $14 an ended up about $8. Not too shabby. And of course, when I got home, I started to hook that little sampler rug. Thank goodness it wasn’t like some 50″ by 28″ rug or something! I would be hooking for a week.

Nah… I have a bunch of stuff to do this weekend, some moby stuff, some work stuff, and some fun stuff. I just couldn’t be sitting around hooking little primitive rugs! I do think I’m going to enjoy this though… and I just adore the little sunflower, it’s so cute. I think it deserves a little pillow or something… wall hanging? I’m not quite sure yet, but it will be finished into some cute for sure. Sunflowers are some of my favorite images! And lilacs of course.

And the best thing? (Aside from Luna approving) I had some left over strips to start my own wool stash!!! How cool!

Of course, while I was there, I had to look around some. I got a little bit of brown and black leather cord for stringing up a few bead necklaces, and a little piece of doggy print fabric that will suit one of our projects for tomorrow. I love looking in the descount aisle and seeing that is there. I got a cute little wire and bead wreath in spring colors for $3.99. Looks just like my fall color one, but with greens and creams and yellow. It’s just perfect for the moby door.

But the very best find had to be these crazy light up knitting needles!!! How crazy! Called the Knit Lite and they say ” Knit Anywhere… even in the dark! Honest! They were originally $10 and marked down to 99 cents!!! Oh my gosh, I think I have to go back and get a couple more because they are the FUNNIEST things… the girls and I were laughing our butts off, playing with them. They look like weird little light sabers! And they actually have a battery in them so they would last and last and you can change the battery for years of fun!

They look like little magic wands or something, they are just so silly. And actually? I think they would work. For knitting. The light is pretty bright! They are fun to torture the kitties with, and of course befuddle the dog. Part of the reason I think I’ll go and get a couple more is that Jessy learned this light painting technique with her camera and these would be SO useful for them!

This is a random picture I found, but you can get the idea. These needles would be fantastic for it! Easy to wave around and make a long exposure light painting.

Jessy has made some really cool shots using little flash lights and glow sticks, but I think these needles will be REALLY neat. Can’t wait to try them out!

As you can see… pretty bright. I might have to whip these bad boys out on a band trip late some night coming home. It would be fun to see the guys expressions! HAHA… they will tease me for sure and of course, I’ll be laughing as well because they are just so silly.

Well, unless it rains tomorrow, I think we’re back to some yard work and a little kitchen fun!!!! Stay tuned for more wacky moby gal fun!
