preeety crafty


Arghhh

So, I went over to Amazon, in the hopes I could maybe get a book or two, and was forced to do a little conversion, from USD$ to R$. Well, the 200 ripple patterns book, from USD$ 16,49 to R$ 35,00. And I’m not even considering the shipping, which would take my little splurge to the 3 digit area. ARGHGHGHGHGHhhh I am so mad!!!

On the other hand, I started a new project. It’s actually and old abandoned project, a bag for my crochet supplies in use, which I gave up on due to total lack of success. I am now making the outside of granny-squares, and the lining will be made with the fabric I already had from the unsuccessful previous attempt. How clever am I? (no need to answer. I am, after all, allowed to dream, aren’t I?)

And on my Ongoing Projects:

The necklace, stalled. Don’t know what to do.

Ripple blanket, hiding in fear of its life. Haven’t forgiven it yet.

Granny Squares are going strong, one a day.

Couch throw, not even thinking ’bout.

Stool covers, pushed aside in favour of crochet bag.

Hundred Flower Scarf… I’ll get to them…

Am also doing a quickie bag, not sure for whom yet. It matches the scarf though, the one I will post next week, all going well.

And for our visual report:

Today I will show you my hook caddy. The pattern’s around the web somewhere.

That’s that for today folks. Going to curse Amazon to hell and back now!

I forgot!!

I NEED HELP!!

I’m going to place some of my work on concession? at some stores here, and I need a name. So I’m between two choices, which is why I need your help:

made preeety by hand

or

preeety made by hand

what do you think? please comment!

i feel with you on the amazon shipment…i would like to buy so many things, but shipping is many times more expensive than the product itself…”%^ !

concerning the names, they have different meanings (to me). The first one, means that it was improved by hand, or made preeety (this word being an emphasis more than a brand name). The second one suggests that preeety is a brand name and the whole thing is made by hand. Does this make sense??

yes. thank you. that is exactly the issue, i just didn’t know to put it in words. thank you very much!

Comment by preeety

happy to be of service…

Comment by Phantomias

I think I prefer the second. And I think the word you might want is “consignment” maybe?
