Shopping in Hobby Lobby

I needed to buy some yarn to be able to work on the tutorial videos for the Grimm's Tales CAL coming up in a few weeks. You can find out more about that here.  I had set a budget for myself, but I didn't spend it all because I discovered that Hobby Lobby had all their yarn on sale for 30% off! I thought I should be able to buy more yarn, Tony didn't agree. Watch the discussion below...

In the end, I didn't win about the yarn, but I'm pretty sure I won the battle. I went over to the other side of the store and bought "storage" for my yarn, which he didn't seem to have a problem with as long as it wasn't more yarn. This turned out to be an awesome haul due to Hobby Lobby having all of their "Spring" collection on sale for 40% off!! Here's this week's ad. I took advantage of it and bought some legit storage and some pretty storage. I also treated myself to some unnecessary decorations. Pretty sure if there's a win category...I'm in it. Haha!

I bought myself an enormous teacup planter to use as storage for my "cute" yarn. I also found a really cute, plain white ribbed planter with jute handles that told me it needed to come home with me. So, that is being used for cute yarn storage as well. I also got myself some new salt and pepper shakers. I'm obsessed with campers right now, so these are a perfect fit.

 These are the legit storage baskets I bought myself. They are the perfect size to fit my shelves AND they are super sturdy. I think I spent $5 each on them. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure I spent more than roughly $5 on any of the items I brought home with me. I did buy four baskets to start out with. The other colors are navy blue and black. They are currently on the other shelves in my office. 

The last picture is of the "unnecessary" pom-pom art I purchased to hang in my window. I'm not sure it was truly unnecessary, because it makes me happy and brings light to my room.

Oh well, I guess there isn't really a moral to this story other than he should have let me buy the yarn. It would have cost him less! LOL

Some Completed Work and Some Stash...

To start with I finished Teo's slippers. They are the "Yo Mama's Fat Booties" pattern. Love, love, love this pattern. Easy peasy and really warm. I am going to have to make some for all of us this winter. It's supposed to be bitter cold and frankly I can't afford to turn the heat up as high as we would need it to stay super comfortable...so slippers it is. These are made from a wool/cotton combo called Bloom. Which despite looking high and low for it on the web...I have no idea where you can get it from. Apparently the company JoJoLand does not carry it anymore.


These were a necessity for T right now cuz....well, he was cold a week or two ago and the only slippers he could find were his sisters pink/glitter slippers that I had made her a few years ago.
And after watching him buzz around the house in those for a day...I decided he needed his own.
Notice the lovely 'construction zone' floor in my living room? Sexy, eh?


Now, to yummy yarnage. Here we have two skeins of loveliness. I purchased them while visiting Bayfield in August. And yes, I just took the pictures of them this morning. And yes, I have been THAT busy that I haven't had time to do anything with them yet. So I just take them out, sigh, pet them and put them back in their bag, about every other day.

1) Trekking, Hand dyed sock yarn. 100g/459yds. 75% Superwash wool and 25% Nylon. Colorway: Feuerland....which translates to me as gorgeous, earthy reds and browns. This skein is for me and me alone. I will be wearing a soft, warm, sexy pair of hand dyed socks.....someday.


2) Berroco Sox sock yarn. 100g/440yds. 75% Superwash Wool and 25% Nylon. Colorway: 1433 apparently. LOL. Which means it is mostly deep grays and browns with touches of deep gold, black and cream. This is for Tony. This is to replace the pair of Cashmere/Wool socks I made him last year and shrunk in the wash (they now fit my feet) this year. :) I know these aren't Cashmere...but I actually think they will make better dress socks than the last pair. And yes, that is me trying to make myself feel better for ruining his socks in the wash.


And the two of those together cost me the total of a meal out for my entire family. I'll say no more.

TTFN!
