The Little Flower

Hi! Sadly for me, Sheetal is leaving work soon, and soon after that, leaving for India. So, as promised to her (and to my blog readers), I have finally crocheted her a flower, should she want to pin it to the hat I made her.Here is a pic to demonstrate the size of the flower. My first try was waaay too big, but I think this could be cute?
Side note: it's finally feeling like fall, for real this time. I busted out the leaf candle and the mini punkins, plus some other assorted Halloween decorations (yes yes I know it is not even October). Time of punkin spice lattes, football, and CROCHET!!

Should I?

It's still 86 degrees out so I am not really busting out the hooks too much, but I am definitely getting some fun ideas for fall! Apparently crocheted clothes are really "in" now (??). I saw a whole spread on it in the latest dELiA's catalog?

Anyways...although they take forever and I never end up wearing them (see my first two here and here), I am thinking I may need to try to make a new dress? Check out this cute one from Anthro.

I know all my "inspiration" posts are totally boring. I will have something up soon, even if it is another bloring flower!!

The Rose Knows

So I finally mustered (/mustard) up the energy to get out some yarns and needles to start on a mustard-colored rose necklace. Well first try is a little bit too big for me, even for a "statement necklace," if you will (oh, and I will).
So yeah, but it was a step in the right direction for getting some new stuff on here!

Browsing...

Just doing a little online window shopping and getting some ideas for my next mini-project...

Definitely need to work on some flowers because I owe Sheetal one from like 2 years ago that she wanted to add to the Amazing Cable Hat I made for her. Now I HAVE to make it since she is moving to India in a month!!

Marty's Bike!

For some reason, I keep losing my slideshow of Marty's bike so I am reposting! Like I said before, he did an awesome job fixing it up. Enjoy!

Pimp My Bike

Today is a special edition blog post! Marty has been working on his bike all summer long, and I think he did a really awesome job fixing it up. He cut and sanded the seat himself, as well as hand-sanded and painted the body.

Here are some snapshots of us ridin around the NYC:

Iron Martin on Mon Frere, pre-new wheels:

Me on Hermano, my own pimped out bike (I made Marty put on new handlebars and I stuck on a Pearl Jam sticker hehehe):

And the best pic of all, Iron Martin taking a pic of his pimped out bike! hahahaha:

Craftin Season!

Ah at long last it's finally cooled off to a brisk 78 degrees! To celebrate the beginning of craftin season, here's Tim Gunn announcing he "prefers the wooly balls":

BAHA! Ps. How hilarious was it when Casanova was like, "I love table clothes," and Lifetime was like, "2 Mins ago: clip of Tim telling the cast that the judges don't like table clothes."

Just catchin up on the Thurs night TV that I missed when I was Jay-Z big pimpin at the Nike WBF event.

Final thoughts: Honey Moon + mac & cheese + 3 Muskateer bar = amazing. Being this invested in Jersey Shore = awkward(/amazing?).

Next stop: Bethenney.

Auf Wiedersehen!
