333 is lucky for me!

Well, would you look at that - today I reached 333 shop hearts! Meaning that 333 people have marked my Etsy shop as a favorite! Wow! Remember when I got up to 100?!

Guess what kind of Etsian is my 333rd - a yarn shop! Go figure! Anyway, let's spread the love all the way to Italy, shall we? Please check out zuccherofilato's Etsy shop and her blog, both filled with yummy creations for the fiber addicted. I'll bet you're gonna "heart" her!

The gorgeous yarns above are Hello Kitty and Earth and Sea by zuccherofilato!

"Girl fight!" the unabridged version:

It all started during a Sneak Attack, when ShadesofVictoria snatched something out of SillyStringsNThings’s cart. Silly sighed and said, “(---1---).”

Shades said, “Oh yeah (---2---)?” she asked , whipping off her (---3---), “You’d better (---4----) unless you wanna (---5---)!”

“You don’t have the (---6---), you (---7---)!”

The two were rolling around on the (---8---) and (---9---) each other when doodlebeacards and tinkersshop came in and had to separate them. “Cut it out, you (---10---)s!” said Doodle. “ You need to (---11---) at each other, and not be (---12---).”

"Yeah," said Tink… just (---13---) each other alone! There are plenty more Sneak Attacks left this year, and we need for there to (---14---) (---15---) in (---16---).”

Soaps/Lotions Giveaway!

Darling readers, I know you need to know about this Wisconsin Street Team giveaway featuring a fellow Sneaker's products. Who doesn't want to win $15-worth of excellent bath and body goodies from Country Soaps by Marlene?

So far, Merino and I have tried some of her shower gel, hand and body lotion, goat's milk soap with a built-in loofah, and unscented solid lotion (pictured at left), and we love it all!

Shameless plug: the beautiful background in my photo of the solid lotion is my Flower Petals Scarf, in case you feel like treating yourself to a scarf to go along with Country's fabulous stuff!

Fiber is good for you!

Hey, my orange-and-black hat is in this fantastic Treasury by fellow Sneak Attacker, Larue!

Now, after you go browse that Treasury, clicking and commenting, you need to head right on over to Larue's shops. First, there is LarueFashions, and then there's Sterling Dreams. Disclaimer: if you happen to be reading this and you are a female relative of mine, I have probably bought a Christmas present for you from Larue already, so until after Christmas, what you should do is shop for others in there. Or, do what I do, and intend to shop for others and then keep all of Larue's beautiful jewelry for yourself!

For those of you who can make your own darn jewelry (lucky!), you'll want to proceed immediately to Larue's Surplus Supply Shop... and then there's her new shop where you'll be able to find vintage goodies, too!

Special preview photo!

Tonight I listed a cute red elf-y baby hat on Etsy. I also made a companion hat, which is for a stuffed animal. I am thinking about calling it the There's Nothing Worse Than A Hat That Smashes Your Ears Down Hat. I'm waiting until morning to list is to try and spread the listings out a little, to improve visibility, etc., but wanted to give you, my darling readers, a sneak preview. Whatd'ya think?

Talk about thankful!

Look at this beautiful Treasury that VintageEmbellishment, a fellow Sneak Attacker, put my felted table runner in!


Actually, the more accurate term for it is fulled, which means that I knitted something and then shrunk it... but people I think people are more familiar with the term felted.

Did you notice how perfectly it goes with iWunder's oven mitt?!

Parises? Paris's? Paris'?

Here is a link to my latest Treasury, all from various places called Paris.
