Things are just funnier at 4am

So I woke up around 2am and tossed and turned for about an hour before I gave up and surrendered to the internet. Always great when you can't sleep and since most of my friends are awake playing Skrym anyway i have entertainment at least. I also kind of miss my night owl schedual.
So for a good laugh watch this

And for my favorite video on youtube.

New Winter Scarves and Cowls

For the past few weeks I've been working with new 'winter' yarn, it's very bulky/chunky and even though it's acrylic it's extremely soft.

This is also the first time I've made scarves this long, and I have to say i'm usually not a big fan of scarves (I get them stuck in car doors and such) but these I like, but I made them why wouldn't I like them >.<

In other news, I got my eyes checked at the beginning of the month and to no ones surprise they've gotten significantly worse so I had to order new glasses, which I did through a company online, i got 2 pairs of glasses for $30!! Prescription included! I should be getting them today!! It will be nice not to have to be constantly squinting at everything even with my glasses on! 

OH and I got my e-reader fixed, (okay James fixed it) so now I can keep doing Book Review Tuesday! 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

As most of you already know October is breast cancer awareness month so to show my support everything I've been making as been pink. and in my shop all this month you can use the coupon code ThinkPink for 15% off your entire purchase! 

Along with all of the new pink items I've been working on new chunky cowls and super long chunky scarves with this great extra bulky high quality acrylic yarn. It's by far the softest acrylic yarn I've come across and isn't itchy like some wools. I'm hoping today or tomorrow i'll have the new items listed, they'll be great for winter! 

Must haves for fall

So it's official ... school is back in session and there's a chill in the air ....

That's right the best time of year is back!!!

Fall of course!!

Today I wanted to share with you some of my must haves for the season 

Let's just start this off right with BOOTS!!!!

I love these, and someday will have a pair!I have something similar in brown but they are shorter.

Can't do heals? Easy fix these work great! and are much smarter for colder weather.

I swear if I catch you in uggs, yea you I will not forgive you! Unless of course you're wearing them around the house ... but like your favorite pair of sweatpants they are not to be worn outside in public!

On to sweaters, it might be because I have gangly arms and legs but I looooove sweaters that are super long and have really long arms! And can be work with a pair of leggings around the house to be super comfy! 

Loop scarves are popular again this winter, and I just recently made a purple one for myself that I've been wearing every chance I get. 

This mint blue loop scarf is from my Etsy shop Buttons&YarnOHMY

Well that's all for now! 

HAPPY NATIONAL COFFEE DAY!!!!

Buttons BNR Team

I am happy to say that my Etsy shop Buttons&YarnOHMY has been doing very well these past few months. 

And Etsy is like a second home! I have been participating in BNR's and BNS's a lot and last week I started my own team called Buttons BNR Team original I know. So now i'm curating! Which is a lot harder than I thought it was! But since Etsy is essentially my day job now I have the time to dedicate to it. 

So every Tuesday and Thursday I host a BNS to BNR. 

Today we are in BNR mode and after 16 total sales we'll switch back to BNS and once in BNS mode we go until we fill 16 slots and in this mode there are free spots given to a random team member and shops who bring in the most people, then it's back to BNR.  

So etsians if you have any interest i'd love for you to come check us out! Even if you don't want to join you can always check out our treasuries! 

Here is the one for today
