Your Leaves Have Drifted Away...

Back. Not really on attack. But bringing you some Teabeans on the streets!

K.Mau+Harrisburg+Leaf Headband. Crummy+K.Mau+Megantic+Frederick,MD+Cable Hat.

Yeaaah brothers! I definitely needed to see my homies from home. Even if we none of us live at home any more. These are some of the funniest ladies you will ever meet, and guess what? They're my friends. Hella!

K.Mau requested the leaf headband I made, and you know what? I can just make another one if I feel like wearing it. Hehehehe. When I was in pot(tery) class in hs, I gave every single pot I made to my friends and family. I have none left, but one candle stick and one U2 bookend. Pretty much, I like to make rad stuff and give it away.

I have more new stuff to come... promise.

Uninspired

Sorry folks, I got nothin.
Hopefully will add some new pics soon -- I have a few things to show you.
I am dragging my feet on some projects and generally feeling uninspired.
I would love if you emailed/commented me some ideas.
Also, can you believe it? Brooke's scarf fell out of the packaging in the mail and her sister got an empty package. Poor girl!!! I think some sneaky postal service worker just wanted an awesome, hand-knit scarf.
Another LOST day Wed and Sat so hopefully I will have something fun and new soon. I need inspiration!!!
Until next time,

Street Style Slouch

Hiyo! Remember this post? The votes were cast, and the result was unanimous support of added slouch!

So enjoy yourself a healthy dose of slouch pics!

Sideview and a Smooch for Kitty!

I hope you all like the results! Thanks for reading & weighing in.

Guest Crafter: Brooke!!!

Well yellow, ladies and gents!

As you may or may not know, I have been engaging in marathon crafting sessions lately with my good friend, Brooke. We are trying to watch every episode of Lost before the new season airs!

Normally Brooke scrapbooks, but last Lost marathon day, she made a surprise scarf for someone (ssssh!!).

Here she is, modelling it like Britney Spears with a snake:

Deets here:

How freaking pretty is that scarf??? I normally am not drawn to pure green colors (any loyal readers will know I am obsessed with aqua/teal/dark blue-greens), but I think this yarn knit came out so rich and beautiful. I love the white stripes with the green, which make me think of knee socks for soccer or rugby style shirts. I would like to learn how to knit one day, but until then, readerzerz, enjoy the beautiful knitted scarf d'Brooke!!!
Until tomorrow (when I blog my new & improved slouchy beanie!!!)...
Besos y abrazos, amores!

Who Run Bartertown?

Katiebeans runs Bartertown!

If you buy this for me (in Small)...
I will make you a free hat of your own design.

Love,
Katiebeans xoxoxo

Reader of the Month: Rachel!!!

It's that time of month, Teabeans-ers! It's time to celebrate our Reader of the Month, January. So let's all pop our champagne bottles for Rachel!

Rachel recently came home to the NYC to visit (from her new home in N.C.). I rallied from the ongoing saga that is my sinus infection to grab pizze at Grimaldi's in the BK with her and her fabo hubbie. (I mean... I love these people. Trust me... I did not even rally to see my own family the next day. They are hilarious, fun, super hip, totally rad, and I think it's been 2 years since I've seen them.) Anywhooooo it was immediately evident from Rachel's many random and specific references to my blog (the actual content, not just the pics) that she was the Jan 2010 Reader of the Month.

So give her a high-five, yos. She is awesome. Above is a pic of me, Rachel, and Jimmy at Pearl Jam in Cameden 2006. Oh the memories!!! I might need to start a petition for Bob & Rachel to move back!

Help Wanted

Hi Teabeans Readers!!!

So I made this new hat in the best color of all time:But tell me...
Is this hat slouchy enough?! Should it be a little like this guy??

Inquiring mind wants to know!!! Should I go all-out on the slouch? I kind of want to!
