I have. I’ve dyed for three days straight and am slowly getting caught up with orders. Because of the lovely weather I was unable to dye for an entire week. I’ve also been waiting on yarn to get here for the Indie Swag and I dyed half of that today thank goodness. I’ve been extremely stressed out waiting on all of this yarn to get here. Friday and Saturday were spent on custom orders and are ready to mail out tomorrow. Can you tell what’s the most popular colorway right now? Click to see the bigger version.
The Indie Swag colorway this month is totally rad. Yes. I said rad. My amazing graphic designer & friend Cynthia of hula-la created this colorway and we both love it. The name is even fun. Also, Indie Swaggers are going to get a brand new yarn I’ll talk about in a few days. I just got it in and am very excited about it. I’m not sure if I’ve seen anyone else dye with it yet either. More on that later.
I had something else to talk about and I can’t remember. I’m tired. I just ate a peanut butter, honey and banana sandwich with a glass of milk. I was feeling slightly hypoglycemic so it sounded good. I think it’s been seven years since I’ve had one of these sandwiches. I never eat sandwiches. Do you? What’s your favorite? Just curious.
I’m going to knit. Maybe I’ll take a nap? I haven’t done that in a few years either. Did you hear about the new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine that shows taking a 30 minute nap decreases your chances of having a heart attack? I order naps all around! Tell your friends,family, employer that you’re just trying to live longer.

Scout, the ex-teacher, gives all of my friends and their kids a Rosh Hashanah activity! Haaa!!! And no, you don’t have to be Jewish to play. Click it for the proper size.

I’m such a dork. Really. I am. I’m proud to admit it. No photoshopping this time.
I finally got my new license plate in the mail yesterday. Click to see up close.
Hee hee! I love it!

Let’s start with this. Do you know who this is?
We are watching Cheaper by the Dozen when T. yells, “No way! What’s his name!?” Which of course leads to a search over on imdb.com. I wish I hadn’t.
Do you have any idea how old he is? He turned fifty this year. FIFTY!? There is no way. Then I looked at how long ago Ferris Bueller’s Day off was made? TWENTY years ago? Whaaaaa? I refuse to believe that. I mean look. See how young he looks?
I seriously feel old.
Bueller? Bueller? Anyone??? Bueller?
(My 50+ year old friends? Don’t be offended.
It’s just really strange for me to think of him older than he is in this picture!)

Has anyone else been playing with this? I love how you can put in tag words and Stumble along and find different websites. I’m Scoutj of course! I was looking at my shop stats and saw all of these hits from stumbleupon.com and had no idea what it was. I guess Bruce tagged my website and people came over to see what he was talking about. I found a few of you already but if anyone else is over there let me know!
I’m having SUCH a hard time deciding which one we should all buy for Norma’s baby Vincent. Click each one for details.
Mardi Woof Puppy Purse
Yummy Yeti Puppy Purse
or the Ruffington Steele Puppy Purse
I know she just bought him this but come on. Aren’t these purses SO much cooler??? I really think he’d perk right up and know he was totally rocking if he had one. I’m leaning towards the Yummy Yeti. I could see him in that one. What do you think?
I’m at work right now and saw a print out of this and thought I’d share. This gives you a good idea about the environment in which I work. These kinds of lists and jokes are shared on a daily basis. I love my job. Speaking of which…..I need to check someone out!
Ways To Maintain A Healthy Level of Insanity:

4. Put Your Garbage Can On Your Desk And Label It “In”.

I am! Some of you may remember the meme I started last fall where you were supposed to show you knitting/crochet spot. Tons of people did it. If you didn’t? Go do it and let me know. It’s really fun to peek into other people’s houses. So consider yourself tagged if you never did it.
I’m tired. I still have this cold I’ve had for the past week and after going non-stop all morning to get all of my sales out in the mail I decided to park my ass in front of the TV and knit while Supergirl naps. So for those who never saw my spot I decided to post some pictures of it. You know you want to see it right? Plus it’s clean so it’s a perfect time for pictures. Click them to see them better.
And now I must knit. This concludes Scout’s random post of the day. Now go show me your spot. Dave? Get your mind out of the gutter. Not THAT spot. If you did the meme already? Leave me a link in the comments so I can see it again. Ready? Go!
And I know quite a few people who need this. I love Shelterrific and I love this new mug from Target.
Isn’t that totally hot? If you buy one of these and are never late for work again you can thank me okay?
I also wanted to publically thank
Cynthia for being the sweetest person ever. Out of the blue she sent me a matching banner for my Etsy shop
AND even created a label for me. Just because. How sweet is she? So go check out her
blog and
buy things from her because she totally rocks. I love my new banner and am about to go pick up my labels. I figured I could spend 10 bucks having someone else print and cut them for me.
You wanna see my lovely leg? Fine. You asked for it and of course I would never want to disappoint my friends. Go ahead after the jump….Oh yeah, and go look at the new pictures of Lobos on Etsy. I tried to get some better pictures so you can really see just how purty it is.
Also, I have some dyeing to do today. What do you want? Throw out some of your favorite colorways of mine so far and I’ll see what I can do.
