Sunday Funday...Plus!

Plus a new listing...finally...and I'm very proud of this one. It's a Purple Fishnet Tank Top. Great for summer at the beach or at home over a tank top or camisole!

It was so much fun to make, I'm making another one right now. This one will be more of a beige...the same yarn as I used to make the Cafe au Lait Beret.




And now for the Sunday Funday Video!

Yes, it's back to the game shows again...but I really can't help myself, they're so funny!

A book and a treasury!

First things first...my Mint Chocolate Scarf made it into a mint chocolate treasury! Seems like I'm not the only one who has food on the brain...

Please click here and take a look at it...clicks and comments are always appreciated!

In book news:

I just finished For the Love of Evil by Piers Anthony. Now generally I don't tend to read science fiction, but this one seemed interesting enough so I thought I'd give it a shot. It held my interest throughout, but at times grew a little trite. It was good enough that I'm curious to read another book in the series to see if it will grow on me more...

It's all about a wizard, turned monk, turned incarnation of evil, and his trials an tribulations throughout. Even as evil, he still has quite a bit of good in his heart and only is evil to those that deserve it, otherwise he tries to do the right thing. It's an interesting conundrum that is going on in his head.

Off to the library today to get my next book club book...it sounds like it could be a winner...It's called "The Book Thief" by somebody or other, we shall see.

Friday's Favorites!

One item sold from the last Friday's Favorites I did...yay!!!

This week is devoted to fake food! I have candles, magnets, jewelry, knitting patterns, and even soap! All looks good enough to eat, but I wouldn't advise it since none of it is real.

See something tasty? Go ahead! Treat yourself!

S'mores and Submissions!

While I was on vacation I learned an entirely new way to make s'mores! Though a lot of people say one shouldn't mess with the original, I've never been a real fan of the graham cracker. Sure I like them, and sure they serve a pupose of keeping the chocolate in, but that was until my boyfriends sister-in-law showed a better way!

She puts the piece of chocolate inside of the marshmallow and then puts it on the stick. She roasts it until the marshmallow is nice and toasty and the chocolate has melted inside...then all you need to do is pop it in your mouth for some marshmallowy, chocolaty goodness. In my opinion, best s'mores ever!

On a side note, if you are a fan of the graham cracker, then you can take your chocolaty, marshmallowy goodness and put it on the cracker...with the chocolate melted, it makes it easier and tastier to eat!

In submission news:

Since tomorrow is Friday's Favorites, and I'm on a food kick right now, I'm looking for stuff that looks like food that isn't...like soaps and knits and anything else you can think of. Post your links in the comments and check back tomorrow to see the Friday's Favorites!

Worried that you might forget to check? You can subscribe by email at the top of the left hand colomn.

I'm Back!

I got back yesterday morning, and after driving for 26 hours, made it to work on time...I was a lot less tired than I thought I would be, but this morning, I'm really feeling it. I can make it, though, I have the day off tomorrow to recoup and clean this disaster that I call a house...If only the tooth fairy were real and instead of taking children's teeth, she magically came by while you were sleeping and cleaned your house...I might just give a tooth for that.

We ended up taking the dog, and she had an amazing time and was a perfect angel in the car...I was kind of worried about that, but she slept most of the way, and every time we stopped for gas, she got a nice little walk.

I didn't do any knitting while I was gone...kind of took a break, but I have a couple items ready to list and another one that's almost finished, that I'm going to try to work on today...

I'll tell you guys more later, I have to wait for my IV bag full of coffee to drip into my veins...lol.

Out for a bit...

We're going out of town for Memorial Day Weekend. I'll be back on Monday, so this weeks Friday's Favorites and Sunday Funday Video won't be available this week. I don't know what my internet access will be like, so I don't know if I'll be posting much.

Since I'm not going to be gone that long, I'm not putting my shop on vacation mode. Anything ordered will be mailed out on Tuesday, which, because of the big weekend, would have to be done anyway even if I were in town.

Don't dispair though, here are some "inspirational" posters for you to look at while I'm gone.

The Good, The Bad and Tuesday's Tips

Let's start with the good...

I have 200 followers now for my blog! Yay for another milestone!

In Bad News:

My hours were cut at work. I'm now working only 2 and a half days and no longer hosting any of the shows. They cut the variety artists down to 2 per day instead of three and because of the cuts in hours for the day, they did their best to make sure those that had benefits got to keep them...I pay for my own benefits, so somehow I was penilized for it...there's another performer who got my host days that can't host the show, so now they'll have to bring a singer from the other show to do it...I'm very frustrated right now, and I really don't want to go into work today, but not going won't solve anything, not with bills piling up.

In Tuesday's Tips:

Now that the bad stuff is out of the way, lets move on to something positive...I found another social network site for crafters. It's called cafehanmade.ning.com. I figure it can't hurt to join a bunch of these sites, besides, it gives you yet another place to post your creations so that maybe a potential buyer might see it. If you do stop by, my profile page is: cafehandmade.ning.com/profile/AllThingsTangled and then we can be friends!

Is it cold and rainy where you are? Maybe you'll find something here that will brighten up your day...or at least keep you warm.
