**knitting!!**


sO. i've ALWAYS wanted to learn to knit.. but so far i haven't found enough patience in me to go about such a tedious venture.. i've learned that u pearl one.. knit one.. i MIGHT know the difference between the two.. but the truth is, i think i enjoy seeing other people's projects!

i have a MILLION hobbies in my head.. i'm what one might call a "jack(y) of all crafts" but master of NONE. sucks. believe me, i know.. ugh.

anyway.. i'd still like to learn ONE day.. in the meantime, i'll enjoy other people's handiwork..

;-)

here are some tOtaLLY FUN knitting projects!

check 'em out!

or should i say, "graknitti"? haha!


don't you wanna go knit somebody's gas station..
imagine if this happened completely in
the middle of the night..
WAY better than toilet papering it!! LOL
and YES.. it's ALL knitted..

grandmas might knit sweaters, but cool people knit TREES!! =)

VINTAGE!!!





i LOVE vintage ANYTHING!!

the color palettes from other time periods blow me away!

sO.. i think this place is such a treasure chest..

.. they have some great finds!

..meeting the needs..

people all over the world are exploited.. working hard & can barely feed their families..

i'm very much an advocate of FAIR trade.. which simply means.. a workman is worth his wages.. (Matthew 10:10b)

in other words.. if "he" works, pay "him" for what "he" does!!

i know of a few awesome websites that assist the needy & downtrodden..

you can go HERE.. HERE.. or here.

These are some items that i thought were totally cool.. from the hunger site.. perhaps they'll make nice Christmas presents??



some really nice "house" ornaments..
and a really sweet birdhouse.. i like it's vintage-y feel.. =)

Lucky..

sO.. i got this issue of Lucky magazine a few weeks ago.. and just before deciding to toss it, i wanted to make sure that i had actually looked at the thing..

and i found this..

the only thing this girl needs.. is an afro! ;-)

i'm pretty sure that i was born in the wrong decade.. i should've been a teenager/young adult in the 60s/70s..

who wouldn't LOVE to have these aWeSoMe argyle tights.. and in EVERY color imaginable??

ok.. maybe it's just me.. maybe i'll get them.. and the dress.. and the turtleneck w/ the cutest button detailing on the sleeves.. ever.

i'm sucha girl! ... anyone wanna donate to my "cause"? LOL.. =)

you can see the whole "article" HERE...
