Mega Mini Mini Minies

TeaBeans mini-updates/week in review...

Uno: Made a hat to sell on Etsy! Need some time to take pics and get it up there.

Dos: Started another hat to sell on Etsy. Kicked cat off my lap FOUR times, and FOUR times he came back to snuggle aka interfere with my crocheting.

Tres: Sent a couple hats to an old friend. Piggytails crossed that she likes them!

Quatro: Ordered some holiday yarn for a holiday project for another old friend. Excited to try something totally new!!!

Cinco: New Iron Martin beanie proving difficult. Loving the yarn color, hating the yarn. Half-finished project currently on mantle.

Seis: Foot injury hurt hurt hurts. Foresee more depression/hat making in the nearest future. Current Katiebeans is angry at Past Katiebeans for her decision to run 3 miles as fast as possible one day + 3 mile run on outdoor track another day. (For the record, did 3.5 in 8 min/mi pace... not bad for 6 months off!)

Siete: Next week imma try to post some sterf. But it's birfday week so I can't make any promises!

Goodnights!!!

Yarn Bombs Droppin Down, Overhead, Underground

Have ye heard of this? According to the all knowing Wikipedia: Yarn bombing or yarnbombing is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted cloth rather than paint or chalk.

My West Coast TeaBeans rep dropped this knowledge bomb on me the other day (pun INTENDED!).

Yarn bombing is almost exclusively about beautification and creativity. (Wikipedia)

I can totally get on board with that. Substitute "yarn bombing" with "Katiebeans" in that sentence, and I fell like... same thing?!

Inspiration: It's Me, Mariobeans.

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaa this is mega bangin. Crochet Mario blanket? Key. I am putting this in the same league as the Pacman hat. Am I too old/profesh for video game themes?!

Thanks to Rachel who sent this to me. Source here. Sadly this would take me 4,000 years to make so I couldn't make it for her & her awesome hubs. Maybe one day I can make a mini one for a baby or something?

Happy Halloween!!!

I hope everyone has a scary fun Halloween! I had the best time at my mega-exclusive private party. Only Iron Martin and Mr. Kitten were invited. It was a blast! We had jack-o-lantern faces cut into the cheese of our cheeseburgers, treats, goblin goblets, and costumes! Then we watched Night of the Living Dead. We even listened to scary music in the background while we ate our dinner! All-in-all it was mo awesome Halloween party.

Here is a pic of Mr. K dressed up as Nibbler from Futurama. He loved it.... hehehe.
Happy Punkin Day!
