I Forgot to Take the Damned Picture
I know I was promising to take a picture of the turquoise before plying it with the yellow but I forgot... *sigh* It's just been so busy this whole week that it completely slipped my mind. Kevin had his appointment to prepare for dental extractions on Tuesday, I had commissions to finish up and, of course, yarn to ply. I'm also working on cross stitching one of the patterns I have up for sale, to put up in the shop as a finished piece.
Anyway, here's the plied yarn in all its glory!
Can't wait to knit it up! Maybe mittens... a hat? I'll figure it out.

Basically I'm Down to Begging Now
So my youngest son, Kevin, is in desperate need of emergency dental work. And because we live in Ontario and are on Disability, most of it is covered.
Most.
Two hundred dollars of it is not, unfortunately, and when you're on Disability, every penny counts. And that's on a regular month. Two hundred dollars just isn't feasible, but he's in agony and desperately needs his Wisdoms as well as one other tooth removed ASAP. That's where you guys come in.
I've started a GoFundMe campaign to help cover the cost of the dental work. I'm also begun begging on other social media for new commissions to help out. Lastly, I'm going to be putting out some new cross stitch patterns to maybe drum up new business.

100 Follower Giveaway!
A few weeks aga I reached 100 followers over on Tumblr (Yay me!) and to celebrate I decided to do a giveaway. Now, being the financially poor woman that I am I gave my winner a choice of a short fic, a photo board or a character sketch and she picked a fic. 1500 words revolving around Anders, Fenris and Hawke from the Dragon Age series of video games. Congrats to @therealmnemo !!!
In crafting news I've found a wool roving to spin and ply with my yellow monstrosity and it's nowhere near the colours I was originally thinking about. Turquoise blue! (I'll put up pics later) Found at the farmer's market here in Lindsay, sold by Lanesend Farm & Fiber. I also scooped up 100g of dyes wool that looks like candy sprinkles and 100g of undyed merino to play with.
And then, just because I don't have nearly enough WIP on the go, I decided to work up one of the cross stitch patterns I have up for sale on Etsy. 'The Happy Apostate' is now underway with threads I had on hand (again, pics will be posted later. My camera and I are not talking to each other at the moment).
