postcard from nogirl's land...
| well! long time no blog. i had one of those rockstar days today. what do i mean by that? well, one that i can't wake up and can't get out of bed and have the heeby jeebies, like i was partying all night. let's say i was, just to make things sound more exciting. i don't want to let anyone down. i fear that i overdid it yesterday and then i couldn't sleep. i had so much to do today and did literally nothing. the only project that i have started to knit is the shrug, which is big and heavy and HOT. so i can't stand working with it on my lap and wrists for very long. so, i did nothing but fall asleep every so often, all day long. every hour or so. fun! woot woot! yesterday i spun a lot and finished (i think there is enough yardage anyway) for a trade with ashley. plied a bunch of stuff, etc, etc. i was really hoping that my wire would show up today, to no avail. sigh. i feel like a junky. must...crochet...with...wire. i never thought that i would like crochet so much. i had this idea of what it looks like, and while it CAN look like granny squares made with squeaky yarns in eyeball peeling colors, is can also look like regina's work or any other number of things. unlike knitting, that really does have to be knit or purl, crochet gives you an amazing amount of freedom, like willy wonka's glass elevator (didya hear that lynn?, you can go in any direction from any direction. for some people, it may be scary to not use a pattern, for me it is scarier to use a pattern and have it come out wrong. no pattern=no wrong way. i like that. so want to see the bracelet i made?  i am still just learning, but it is so fun. i have some other ideas i have been journaling. so.we went over to my in-laws for dinner on saturday that was really yummy. after a little while i started to feel funky, and sweaty and chilled and i drove myself home while everyone got some icecream. i am so lame. jake wanted to come home, whilst i know how badly he wanted icecream. so sweet. we then went to the grocery store at about 1 a.m. it was great! no one was there and the cashiers are the most miserable people ever. and honestly, i would rather work there at night then when all the crowds are there to bitch at me. you know? we had a fun time. my mom will be in town next week, staying with us for a couple of days, so of course i am getting nervous about it. i am such a dork. and i am behind on all the work i need to do for luxe, etc, so i really need to bust my ass this week, as much as possible anyway. i need to keep vertical, anyway. when i did sleep last night, i had really crazy nightmares, i have been lately. i dreamed about someone that i stopped talking to a while ago, because i had to, and i miss like crazy...anyway, i dreamed that she got a teaching job in alaska and moved away and when i saw her, before she left, she told me that she didn't think that i have a crap about her, or thought about her. i saw a quote somewhere that if you can't go a day without thinking about someone, then you need to have them in your life. i can't bear to see her being taken advantage of, or putting herself in bad situations all time, but more and more, i feel like other than her aunt, everyone around her just takes advantage of her, from what i know. and i think that my stubbornness is not the right thing here. in my family...we will cut off our noses to spite our faces...yes we will. i haven't had a nose in quite some time, thank you very much. ok, well, i am just a miserable sod, but i am going to show you some cool antique buys to end on a happier note.   cute, eh? how cute are they? and! also got this amazing plate from the 1970's..the photo is shitey, but it is hard to photo shiny things, you know?  i put some new stuff up in my luxe etsy store and hope to take photos and update luxe to-morrow, as well. i will let you know. there are some freeform scarves, among other things. xo n. |

lovely bracelet!
sorry i haven't written, i've been monsterously depressed, like never before. It just seems like I should be better by now, you know? Blah blah blah, that's why i haven't written, nobody wants to hear me complain. but good news, yesterday i shook it off a little and feel a bit better. anyway, sorry. and hi!
hey j-no worries...believe me, i know, when you feel super poopy, it is hard not to be bummed out. i feel ya. plus you've got the pregnant lady hormones cranking, to boot. feel free to bitch, god knows i do.
hey! we had the same exact day!
ha!
(i'm still feeling it too.
no fun, haha)
you are making me yearn to crochet even more... too bad i just can't get beyond a chain. ha.
XO!
They bracelet is Gorgeous!!!!! You'll noticed that was gorgeous with a capital "G."
I love the little bambi guy!
Side note: Had a nightmare about bambi last night. In my dream I was terrified of bambi and he kept following me around and was everywhere I went (even in the potty!)
Can't wait to catch up with you soon. Don't have no time for nothin' except feedin' the little 'un. I feel like a cow.
pippi...i can see what you can do, and if you can knit, you can crochet...i swear it. and once you learn single crochet...which is basically a yarn over, and pull it thru and another yarn over and pull it thru, easy peasy. i swear! i wonder if there was something in the air that made us feel like that? mercury in retrograde?
aw bonnie! you are so sweet!
you should make john nurse her! ha! he seemed very sure that it would be no sweat.
