Have I mentioned... ?

... that I'm ...



That's right, my pal Joy (whose oldest son Jude is my favorite little boy pumpkin model) has kindly featured me on her Wall of Faves! Go visit Joy's Etsy shop for rockin', adorable printable and customizable paper and party items, too!

Update!

It's been a while since I updated the blog! I've been busy knitting, working, attending to a family emergency in California, reading the Sookie Stackhouse novels, and have I mentioned knitting? I'm currently designing a darling little stripy baby hat (pics soon). I registered to take a drop-spindle class at the Hoosier Hills Fiberarts Festival in June... imagine being able to make one's own yarn!

Oh, and Merino, my wonderful, super-genius husband, has graduated Summa Cum Laude, so we've had time to hang out together! We've been to more movies in the past month than in the entire previous year!

A friend and I recently went to the Children's Museum and saw the traveling exhibit of famous movie and t.v. costumes, including the wicked witch's hat from the Wizard of Oz! Talk about thrilling! We also enjoyed the Barbie exhibit!

So, what's up with you, darling readers?

Attention, Sneak Attackers!

Take this brief survey about the Handmade Movement, home of the Sneak Attacks, and you could win a $20 gift certificate to my Etsy shop! (Yes, I have an alternate prize ready in case a knitter is the person whose email address is drawn on April 1.)



















Special thanks to my Sneaky pal Sandi, who came up with the survey idea and made it happen!

Feeling Sneaky?

Me, too! Sneak Attacks were on winter break, but we're back, and here's today's thread!

Even if you haven't gotten the hang of the new Etsy forums yet, you can still check The Handmade Movement at 6 p.m. Eastern time for the names of a some new Etsy shops we're going to surprise with as many sales as we can! There will be plenty of items under $10 available, and international shipping by at least one shop, so please join in the fun of letting an 'undiscovered' independent artist know WE SEE YOUR WORK AND WE SUPPORT YOU!

As today's Sneak Attack sponsor, I'm trying to get the word out as much as possible, and I'd appreciate your help spreading the word about our Sneaky mission!

Also of interest: there's a giveaway next week, so enter now! AND I'm feaured on the HM blog today. Check out this profile by Sandi and you'll learn something I haven't blogged about yet.

I like the winter weather!

so I made this Treasury, inspired by the song, "It's a Marshmallow World in the Winter." Enjoy!

Indy LGBT Film Fest: Nov. 12-14, 2010

Click here for Indianapolis LGBT Film Festival schedule, venues, previews, sponsors, news, and more! It's the 10th year! There are 45 films! Grab your fairy princess and go - that's what my Gays are doing! You'll laugh, you'll cry; it'll become a part of you - and I'm not just saying that because I worked on the search for documentaries!

On a serious note, the proceeds from our film festival go directly to Indiana Youth Group (IYG) a nonprofit community center serving the needs of gay, lesbian, bi, trans, etc. youth in Indianapolis. Right now it is especially important that organizations such as IYG receive all the support we can give.

One hat, two pom poms, many looks - ONE WINNER!

Here's the hat I made for the next Handmade Giveaway. ENTER NOW FOR A CHANCE TO WIN!

This is my own original design; I was aiming for a modified jester/Santa/convertible/unique look. How do you think I did?

One lucky person will win this one-of-a-kind hat from the Handmade Movement; you know, home of the Sneak Attacks! Stay tuned!
