Crochet and Randomness

First things first...I got my 250th follower for my blog...yay!!!!!!

I've started on the Aqua House Socks and got the first cuff done! I should definitely get the second cuff done today at work and I'm hoping that they'll be done by the end of the weekend. They're going to look like the socks pictured here except different colors.

I think this time I'm going to recruit my boyfriend into taking the pictures. It's really hard to set the timer, run in, take the shot, go back, see that I wasn't in the right place, set the timer again, run back, take the shot, run back, realize that the dog ran through the shot, set the timer again...etc....hopefully he can cut my self posed picturing by half!

In juggling news:

I'm chugging along with the clubs. I need to redo my nails yet again, since the clubs keep breaking them. It's really hard to practice because even after dinner when it's dark out, it's still 90 degrees, so after about 5 minutes I'm sweating like a pig...(which really doesn't make sense because pigs don't have sweat glands.)

Something for Me!

Since I've opened my etsy store, which was in October (I think), I've made stuff for the shop, for the boyfriend and for a couple of friends but nothing for me. At work in between shows I'm working on a new entrelac scarf now, so I decided to start a new home project just for me. I'm making myself a new afghan with scrap yarn!



I have made three before, but one got given to the boat, and the dog claimed the other two for herself, and I really want one to snuggle with on the couch while I watch TV. It will probably take a while since I know I don't have enough scraps right now...but with other projects I'm making, I'm always producing more...besides...I deserve it...this one, the dog's not taking away from me!

In Juggling News:

Now my arms are reeeeally sore, I've had to give myself a manicure to repair all the damage those clubs did to my nails, but there is some improvement...today at work juggling balls is going to seem like a piece of cake!

New Sweater...and Juggling?

I have to take the boyfriend to the airport soon, but I have just enough time to post my newest creation! It's an Aqua 3/4 Sleeve Sweater! The waist is made in a looser lacy type of stitch to let the body breathe, and the top a tighter knit to give a little bit of warmth after the sun has set. I hope you guys like it!

In Juggling News:

I can already juggle balls...I do so at work every day, and though I'm not the best juggler, I'm not nearly as terrible as I used to be. Well, last night, the boyfriend decided that I should definitely learn to juggle clubs. For those that don't know, the clubs are the ones that look like bowling pins.

They are much harder than balls...both to juggle and when they hit you in the head...OUCH! I think I broke every single nail...Not good when your real profession has people looking at your hands. I'll have to practice a bit more with 2 clubs and hopefully I can suprise the boyfriend when he gets back from Kansas City...

By The Way...

If anyone lives out in Kansas City, next time you go to the airport, you might see my boyfriend on one of the video screens...he's leaving today to film it.
