Yarn Bombing

Late last night Emily and Dave and I were talking after work and knitting was brought up and Dave mentioned "yarn bombing" which is something the girls in his nursing class do to get out their frustration. I had never heard of this before, and being a knitter and Etsian I felt very out of the loop. So I turned to the handy dandy INTERNET! And these were my findings >.<

According to the ever trusty Wikipedia: 

Yarn bombing, yarnbombing, yarnstorming, guerrilla knitting, or graffiti knitting is a type of graffiti or street art that employs colorful displays of knitted or crocheted cloth rather than paint or chalk.

So this peaked my interest so I searched google images and these were some of my favorites...

In other news today there are some great treasury BNR that i'm participating in if you would like to stop in and check them out, there are some really great sellers and it's always fun to hang out and chat for a bit!!

1. The MyNewFav BNR is closed at the moment but will open up later today

2. And Feltery's BNR will open again on Monday =)

Hope to see you there! If you do drop by please let them know Buttons sent you!!!

Wordless Wednesday

Book Review Tuesday

Summer Books you MUST READ!!!!

Okay only if you want to though!

A few weeks ago I was in search of a good "beach book" and one night at work while straightening I stumbled upon The Last Summer of You and Me

From the woman who brought us Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants when we were teens now she is writing to girls in their 20's. Which is exactly what Ive been looking for. Young Adult books, not Teen. 

This is also the first book I've read by Ann Brashares so I decided last night to go back and read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, I never read it, just watched the movies, which I enjoyed. 

So while searching for the books in the computer last night at work I was informed of Sisterhood Everlasting, which will be released June 14, 2011 and will be the fifth installment of the Traveling Pants series and now the girls are in their late 20's and finding their way in the world! 

So my goal is to read the four traveling pants books before this one comes out. Which should be do-able. 

Also by Ann Brashares is My Name is Memory which came out last summer and is being released in paperback next month. From what I've read so far it is about a man who falls in love with the same women century after century ... 

Within the next few weeks we will have a "Favorite Beach Books" section and the book is to be shelved there  but i'll let you know what I think as soon as I finish it! 

I go through some really strange and ADD induced phases with the books I read. Right now its mostly lovey-dovey stuff with happily ever after but I haven't been on a Science Fiction kick in a while so maybe that will be next. 

Now that summer is upon us though all I can think about is the beach and just relaxing and reading! 

Unfortunately Tennessee is pretty landlocked, but this is what books are for!

Do Fathers Day on a Budget!

I would like to start off by saying that I have successfully completed 7 awesome headbands to start a new section in my shop. 4 of them represent Hogwarts houses <3. This is what I intended to blog about today, but with a failed attempt to find a camera I had to rethink. 

Back to the drawing board!

At work we have been putting out Fathers Day paraphernalia for a little while now 

(since the day after mothers day). So this morning I grabbed my coffee and jumped on Etsy to see what I could find for Dads this year! Here is a link to the Treasury 

and a little sneak peek .... 

Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookes

Mustache stackable coffee mugs!

Card!

Something cute for office dad!

Wizard Rock

I have been in a totally awesome wizard rock mood today! So I thought I'd share what I've been listening too!

We R Lightening Scars

Ministry of Magic - This Town

The Ministry of Magic is probably one of my favorite Wrock bands. The Mudbloods come in a close second though. Enjoy! 

It's Thursday ... Again

Well seeings how today is in fact Thursday ... not yesterday I thought i'd blog again. 

I didn't realize until later yesterday that I did "Things I love Thursday" a day early. ... I guess this is what happens when you blog B.C. (before coffee)

This kind of explains it all I guess. I'm moving into my new place today. After I get out of work at 10. I can only move a little at a time so i'm taking the essentials. Clothes, and Etsy Supplies. I have a few days off from work at the bookstore so i'll be using my time to set up the craft room and re-list my stuff on Etsy and take my shop off vacation. =) 

Fingers crossed for a smooth move!

xoxo

Things I love Thursday

 Starbucks Cinnamon Dolce Latte <3 If it's before noon and I'm around a starbucks this is my drink of choice. I love them!

 Etsy, I could spend my entire paycheck here! Just on supplies for my shop alone!! Anything I have ever searched for they have had it! I could spend hours just browsing treasuries.

 Glee: I have watched it since the very first episode. The love triangles are getting a little old but Kurt and Blaine are keeping me going. I haven't seen the finale yet, I plan on watching it when I'm done blogging! I'm very very excited about it!

 Amazing summer drink. Black Tea Lemonade <3

InezGill I love her shop! And can't wait to buy a headband from her! She is also a fellow Etsy seller!

You can visit her shop HERE
