Getting Stabby, in a Good Way

Last spring I joined the Handmade Pincushion Swap Group on Ravely. We've been through a few swaps so far but this guy is definitely my favorite. The theme was Alice in Wonderland, which handy for me has been an obsession since college. Combine that with my new obsession of needle felting and you get this guy

I had aspirations of needle felting the tree for him to sit in, but I came to my senses and am pretty pleased with the results. Now I need to get back to whole work I get paid for stuff, but it's not nearly as much fun, sigh.

The Sweater That Lived

It's a rare ocurrence around here, but I actually finished something. I know, I know, I will give you a moment to collect yourselves. The sweater for Smax is finished! Also out of the ordinary it was finished with days to spare not even hours. I'll gloss over the part where it was technically finished in the San Fransisco airport at 3:50am after a 10 hour flight from JFK but I digress. The wedding was beautiful, filled with good people, amazing views (not to mention real estate) and a ridiculous amount of love for two of my favorite people in the world. And with out further adieu, let me present Sarah and Steve, and of course the sweater...
