Blue isn't sad when you add sparkles

Blue Sparkle Beret

Just listed this new blue sparkle beret! My boyfriend bought me the yarn as a present to make something with, and it told me that it wanted to be a beret.  Well who am I to argue with that?




As with all of my items, there is free shipping anywhere in the US and Canada, but worldwide shipping is also available at a reasonable price.


Now it's time to work on some more goodies.

New Beret

Green Beret Hat

I just listed this Green Beret Hat on etsy.  I realized that I was out of stock on hats in my hats and headbands section, so I got cracking.


This is one of the two berets that I made.  I'll probably try and list the other one on Wednesday or Thursday. 


As it is green in color, it qualifies for the birthday sale.  Receive 20% off anything green until August 4th by using coupon code: GREEN

2 miles... getting there

So today I did a little over 2 miles today.  I'm slowly getting back to the 2.7 that I could do before my vacation.  I'm finding that I have a really hard time pacing myself.  I want the run to be over with so I go faster, and then I use up all my energy and I feel like I'm going to die.

I did walk once on my run today, for a couple tenths of a mile, but I finished at a run.

I know I can get back to where I was, I just have to build up my indurance again and watch my pacing.  Easier written than done, but I am determined.

Two Hats Done ... hmmm... a blanket?

When looking at my shop, I realized that my hats were really lacking.  I just finished making two new ones in a beret style.  I'm hoping to have them listed by Thursday, but sometimes time can get away from you.

Next project will have little to do with etsy.  When I was on vacation at the boyfriend's family's lake house, there were a ton of afghans that his grandmother made. Now I'm inspired and want to make a new blanket for the boyfriend's chair. (The dogs claimed the comforter that was on there before)

I haven't made an afghan in years... probably since I opened my etsy shop.  I've had a granny square one in the works for a while now that I add to whenever I have scraps, but I don't count that since it might be years before I have enough scraps to finish it.

Post Vacation Run

So today was my first running day since returning from vacation.  Yeah, I know I could have run during my vacation, however there were so many steep hills, I really didn't think that I could have made it.

Instead, I did high intensity interval training. Yes, there's an app for that, and I used it every three days for my entire vacation.  You get a good work out in a short amount of time and you don't really need a lot of space so you can do it anywhere.  The day after every work out I would be sore, so it must have done some good.

During the first run, my legs actually felt great from all the muscle building I was doing during my time off. However, because I hadn't done any indurance training, my breathing was way off and I got really winded. I only made it 1.7 miles... I actually went further, but I turned my pedometer off when I started walking.

I think I'm going to keep doing both types of training since they are good for different things, and we shall see if I can go faster and longer next time.

Getting ready for class

Today, I'm only performing for a half a day, then it's time to shop.

I'm not getting to get clothes or shoes, but magic supplies.  I'm going to be teaching a magic class at a circus camp tomorrow.  15 children will be learning a few magic tricks. The hardest part is the fact that their ages range from 5 to 12.  That is a huge range and a very different amount of skill sets.  Hopefully it won't be too easy for the older ones or too hard for the younger ones.  Also, hopefully, I have enough stuff to keep going for 2 hours. We'll see how it flies.

It's a Desert Out There

It takes me a while to get settled back in Vegas.  I had a massive headache all day yesterday. Going from super humid to super dry is really difficult and my sinuses were rebelling.

Despite all that, I did manage to get everything on my to do list done.  There was a lot of lying on the couch with the dogs in between tasks, but I still managed to do it.

Today is my first day back working at the Venetian.  I have a huge list of to do's to accomplish in between the shows.  Sometimes I think I'm more productive at work doing things on our short breaks than when I have a whole day off.

That's all for now. Got to finish my computer stuff and put on my make up... I haven't worn make up in 2 whole weeks...wow!

I'm Back!

Back from the funeral...
Back from my vacation...
Back in my own bed...

Gibbs in the moonlight

The vacation was fun, but it was really hot, and that's saying a lot from someone who lives in Vegas. The main problem with the heat was not the humidity, I like humid, it was the lack of air conditioning.  I'm so spoiled here where everything has central air.  Of course it's just my luck that I go to a cool place like Wisconsin and they're in the middle of a heat wave! Go figure!

There was lots of swimming in the lake, but believe it or not, there were two days where even the lake was too hot to swim in.  On the other days, however, it was awesome to get super hot and then jump right in.  One morning I had my coffee while on a floaty chair in the water.

I did miss having the camp fires at night, but it wouldn't have been enjoyable this time around.

Now I'm back in Vegas with my central air and loving life.
