I am... so... sick... of snow.
Seriously... every NJ winter that I experience reminds me that I'm really ready to move to warmer pastures.

Ok. Complaining quota = filled.

I was able to get some more scarves done this weekend and I'm really happy with how they turned out. These guys are special-order, but I'm hoping that they will generate some commission orders.

Also, once the Holiday orders are filled, I think I'm going to make one for myself. Believe it or not, I don't have one of my own! It's time.

Here is the lovely Esmeralda modeling my two latest creations:



In other news, I think I'm ready to venture into the world of clothing. I saw this adorable knit skirt at a store I like and thought, "I can make something like that!"

So, I shall.

Mwahahahahhaahhahahaha.

A few days ago, B* sent me a cryptic email asking whether I could receive UPS deliveries. When I told her I could, she sent me a shipment confirmation that an item would arrive today.

As I climbed the stairs to my house I saw a box that was practically as tall as me! I was mostly excited... and a little scared, knowing B*s occasionally twisted sense of humor. I pulled the box inside, half expecting her to pop out of it... when lo and behold... I found this lovely little lady:



I had been pining for a dress form for months!
Isn't she great???

I have named her Esmeralda and she will be modeling all things Sparkletree from now on! Today, she's modeling a (reserved) child's scarf.

So, a million thanks to B* and warm welcome to Esmeralda!

Hooray!

Here is the pillow I made for my cousin's baby!


Also, I'm in the process of putting up a new scarf and bag on Etsy.

The ear-warmers are coming, too... I just have to muster up the energy to take pictures of them!
