off the needles

With my first cup of coffee (oh, come on now…. I’m sure that you didn’t think I’d quit drinking the elixir of life forever….), I finished beading and binding off the Swallowtail.  She’s had her bath and is now lounging on the deck.  I’ve never been one for blocking. I don’t own any wires.  It IS time to put them on my list.  Maybe WITH proper blocking she’d be bigger, or her points, pointier.  This rendition is her first life.  Who knows, others may follow.  Glam shots, with accessories, will follow when she’s dry.

Just so you don’t think that I haven’t been taking advantage of my time on FAST internet,  I’ll let you in on what I have been doing.  Finally, I have a shopping cart attached to my Yarns for Sale page.  It’s taken quite a lot of time to get each picture updated and linked.  I’m working on getting the rest of my inventory photographed and up.  The new lace weight two ply merino/ silk that I used on my Swallowtail, has been added.  I’m cleaning up my sidebars, reading lists, alongs, etc.  It all takes time, indoor time, and this time of year is too nice to be indoors.
