I went to a craft night last night for the first time in a really long time a la Christy's suggestion and was introduced to the world of tie dye.

I recently left my hair kit in a taxi loosing all of my product, irons, brushes, combs, pins - basically everything I'd need to do hair on a shoot not to mention the bag it was in. Yesterday I stopped off at ion studio (who I will be working with weekly from this upcoming weekend on -) and they donated a TON of stuff to the re-growth of my hair kit. In lieu of having all of these new things I figured I'd need a bag to put all of these new things.

SO I walked my monstrous little dog to American Apparel before craft night and got myself a new tote bag.

Um, does anyone know how awesome tie dye is??? I kind of want to tie dye everything. I can see how this can easily get a little out of control. I am going to get some ratty old t-shirts to do next and possibly 7 more pairs of socks.

Now taking suggestions on things to tie die...

In other news, I've been kind of knitting again, I have put some new stuff up in my etsy shop and I am currently working on a little pillow for a friend who bought me yarn to knit it almost 2 years ago. I figured maybe it was time to finally get around to this little pillow.

I have decided, this winter is hibernation and crafting. I'm excited.

Next big craft:

Well, I've been getting my knit on in this summer humid heat.

Hopefully I'll have some things ready to put up in the shop for the fall/winter season that is (quickly) approaching. It's crazy how fast this summer has gone by. Feels like yesterday it was May!

So much has changed. So much has happened. I can barely even wrap my head around it but, it's all for the best and I'm sure brighter horizons are in the future.

I'll leave you with some photos:

Well, I said I needed more makeup jobs and this morning I got what I wanted. It looks like I'll be working on a shoot for Rolling Stone on sunday with a couple of the guys from SNL. Should be pretty good.

I have much knitting things that I'm going to post. I am short on time so it's mostly going to be photos... First of all, I have never gotten a hand made knit thing as a present other than from my grandmother up until now! My roomates very good friend came to visit us a few months ago and we all talked and bonded about knitting and for christmas, he sent me up this beautiful mustard yellow scarf!!



Next up, I found something to use the rest of my yarn I had bought for my Lauren Jacket. A new bag!!



Something else you might notice about the needles I'm knitting with... Yes, I have the best boyfriend ever who got me harmony interchangeable needles from knitpicks!!



Question to those who have these needles (Kim) - Do you notice you have to keep screwing on the needle to the cable beacause it comes loose? How do I stop this from happening?

Last but not least, my lovely friend Chelsea came to visit me a couple days ago and her and Frank fell in love.

well, here we are... i have finally used the yarn i bought off Yarntopia-Treasures and I have made a bigger version of the nest tote.

To be honest, i'm not quite sure the blend of the yarn. BUT, here is what i do know :
Needles : :US 13 Cir - 16"
Measures : 14" from top to bottom with nothing inside, 19" from left to right along the bottom, 11" straps from top of bag to top of strap inside the opening & it stretches to 21" with things inside.


These bags are great because they're so quick to knit up, the only thing while knitting this particular one was, my hands were blue for the 4 days it took me to knit. I couldn't tell if it was from my brand new jeans or the yarn (hand died) but, my hands are finally clean!

Anyway, with my recent etsy.com luck, I decided to post this one up on my etsy shop. The kercheif's I had posted on there went like hotcakes!!

I'm now working on a beaaautiful brown and pastel pink scarf for myself.

Speaking of warm, I hope this heat wave goes away soon.
