I've never been so sick in all my life. Iam really scared. The picture if the growth on my heart valve.
I've been posting pictures of my fabric yarns on the picasa web album located here http://goo.gl/tJdBF
I think being able to crochet is truly a super power. I visited a nice family that employs my boyfriend from time to time. There was a bit of a language barrier, but I made them a nice crochet basket.
Yesterday and the day before, I worked on this little mat. It has chiffon, it has jersey, it has ribbed knit...
It is refusing to lie flat. I have several more in the same condition.
I sold hats.
At the Bell Gardens American Legion tonight was a very very good show. 4 live reggae/ ska bands performed, and I sold hats. Just hats. No purses, no pouches, nothin but hats...
It was SUCH a good show. Made a little money for me and some For the post.
Too busy to crochet... But I did make these hats yesterday. They feel good.
There will be a reggae, ska show at the Legion where Tracy works on the 17th. I'm going to sell beanies.
Flattered? I'm sure. Just wanted to share with my blog that I'm getting flatter and flatter with every stitch. Here's a colorful rug I am making to practice the art of "flattery". Got some really beautiful material today. I got a ton of the flourescent pink from a couple weeks ago. And some nice printed tan and black material.
Some good green came my way, too. Photos to follow.
You're looking at the beanie I made last night. I like how thick it is. Almost looks like curly hair from far away.
This heart was made from a crochet pattern thatI found on easymakesmehappy.blogspot.com. I never usually follow patterns exactly. But this pattern is perfect.
The yarn I used is actually a red slinky fabric that has been cut by a big machine. It is really stiff so it maintains its shape whether it is filled or unfilled. The hole that closed up when I did the last stitch is where I loosen it up to hide stuff inside. Then I tighten it and stick the tail inside.
The hook makes a difference in the gauge. That is the size of your stitches. On a rainy day like today, I have chosen a hook that will speak to me about sunshine and warmth.
That's the fee. That's what you pay. It's a test of your courage,negotiation skills, and your composure. First come, first served can be loosely interpreted by people. It means to me that your table doesn't hold your spot if you aren't there at ten o'clock. Tourists come to see booths selling stuff-- not your empty chairs and tables that you left there the day before. Sunday my spot holder person flaked on me. My truck was all loaded up and I had my ass down there... So I considered it carefully and I took the spot. It didn't go over very well with the bum community. But they remember me from about a month ago when the LAPD tried to get me to move out of another late comer's spot. I didn't budge. I complied with the little food distribution loophole. But I didn't budge. That kind of thing needs to be in writing if it is to be adhered to.
Chairs and tables don't hold spaces. They can't expect them to.
Here on Venice Beach's Boardwalk is where a trend could pick up some momentum.

This bowl was made while Maggie and I were talking about the American rEvolution... My little girl makes me so proud of the woman she is becoming. Just like her mom.
The bowl is a basket. It's oval and very nicely shaped. It was made with a few lengths of fabric yarn. The hook used was a small one. The button is sewed on with day glow thread. Thirteen dollars.
