Blah

I haven't been around lately, I know. I have been having issues with having a tooth pulled. The dentist attempted to remove it and the freezing didn't take, so I had to go back a week later and be knocked out for them to remove it. Now, I have the flu, so I have not been able to get much of anything done.

I did start on crocheting a Bugs Bunny stuffed animal for my daughter. I am still cross stitching Fairy Roses and will post pictures soon.

Today is my 12th wedding anniversary. We will be celebrating next week as I am still sick and we are low on funds.

Bad Tooth

Well,I have had major problems with my back molar. Not wisdom teeth, as I will never get them. On Thursday, went to a dental surgeon, as my dentist thought it would be better to see him as my roots are crooked, and he tried to pull it out without success. He froze it, cut the gums and drilled a bit, and I felt the whole thing. Now, I have a swollen face, can't chew, and have to wait until next Thursday, so he can sedate me and pull it. The only upside to this is, since I can't eat much, I will lose some weight! I will let you all know what happens.

Nellie is here!

Wow, 2 posts in one day. I'm on a roll! I get productive when the kids are gone and the house is quiet.

I received Nellie yesterday. I bought her from a member of one of the boards I frequent. She is customized a bit and gorgeous! She is the one doll I have wanted since I started getting interested in AG dolls. Unfortunately, I started after she was retired/archived. The only customization is her freckles were removed. I think she looks very sweet.



She is already very loved. Thank you to Stephanie from Zeebeedesigns for letting me buy her Nellie.

Huge order from Elmore Pisgah

Well, I had to place an order. They had reduced their prices so much, I just had to order. I got tons! First is the entire order.



I ordered a 2 pound bag of whatever they want to send me. This bag actually has all worsted cotton. The dish clothe cotton.



Then I ordered rayon chenille. It is hard to find and I love their colors. I did find another company in Canada that carries chenille, but not ombres.



I also ordered some perle cotton. Just a little.



Last but not least, size 10 crochet cotton. I do doll clothes and it's hard to find the nice colors here.



On a final note, I had emailed Spinrite about not discontinuing the chenille line and their reply was that they were unsure if they were going to discontinue anything. The letter I received in my order was that they were in fact discontinuing the crochet cotton and the chenille.

Yarn Purchase

Just made a huge order from Elmore Pisgah. They just reduced their prices again, so had to go for it. I was going to make an order before, but ran into some finance issues. But, at those prices, I just could not resist. I will post a pic when it comes in. :)

AG Fans Valentine's Swap 2011

I participated in this year's Valentine's Swap on AG Fans Message Board. I will upload the photo of the item I sent later. For some reason I thought I already did. This is the outfit I received. I love it! My custom Kirsten renamed Kayliss is modelling. It is from agmom2allitori. Her daughter made the headband. It has lots of ruffles and fun cotton print fabric. Thank you!!

Very Sad Day

I just found out from Bizzy Crochet Blog that the wonderful company Elmore Pisgah who carries the best chenille has been bought out by Spinrite. While it is good that a Canadian company is getting it, I am afraid that the product line will be lost.

Here is a link to the article.

I wasn't sure where to write to the company, and couldn't find an email address for Spinrite, but since they own Bernat, I wrote to them and asked them to forward it to the proper people. If anybody would like to write to them to keep the entire product line, here is the email address. Please write and let them know you love the products and don't want them lost.
