just some stuff :)

so i'm not sure if any of you know this, but i enjoy drawing as one of my hobbies. i make these things called pixel dolls....basically someone makes what's called a base (its just a naked body), then you take that base and draw clothing and hair and shoes and whatever else your little head can think of. there are a range of programs people use....from regular old MSpaint to photoshop or paint shop pro....anything that allows you to pixel.

so anyway....i've been making them for quite some time now. sometimes i'll enter one or two into a contest someone is having on their website....which is what i did recently. i made this doll:


its based off of an RP character of mine named Luthien. She has long purple hair and is an elf (yea...i'm a nerd....are you just now finding this out? haha!)

anyway...i drew her for fun because i really liked the base and thought it was perfect for my character. i entered it into the contest and won first place!

if any of you are interested in seeing some of my other pixel dolls, i have a deviant art site that has a few up there :)

so yea. enough about that ;) so i've been slacking a little with my knitting (*gasp!*) but what's new ;) i was going to start on that blanket for my soon to be little brother, but got side-tracked making him some tiny washcloths instead. i guess my knitting-span (attention span that is) is a little short-lived at the moment. i can't seem to work on any large projects to save my life. anyway...here are the little buggers...i still haven't woven in the ends haha...i'll do them all at once...makes life easier :)

its just a simple eyelet pattern. i thought something simple would be best for a baby boy :) they're just made out of simple sugar n' cream :) i love that stuff! cheap and cute colors :D


i also went down to freeport to visit with my grandmother the other day. we went into tuesday morning to just look around and ended up buying a bunch of crap! that ALWAYS happens when we shop together ;) anyway she bought me a cute moon shaped birdfeeder for my new porch and some neat yarn. the batteries in my camera died as i was trying to take a picture of it...but once i get them charged i'll put a pic up. she bought it to make her, my mom, and my aunt something neat :) i'll probably whip them up some simple eyeglass cases or something easy :)


anyway...not much else going on. i think i'm going to head back over to Y2E to pick up some sock yarn and try my hand at that. daniel's been bugging me for socks, and i'd like to try this socklet pattern. (warning: its a PDF file)

so that's whats going on! i do wish i lived closer to yarntopia...i'd love to get out there sometime and meet the sweet miss amylovie! i wanted to thank you and miss catherine for being avid readers of my blog and giving such great comments and support. thank you both!!
