Geekin Faeries





Not that this has anything to do with knitting ( though it does have a lot to do with geekin') but I thought I would take the opportunity to post pics of the Maryland Faerie Festival. Ok, I'm really just putting up a picture of Bailey in her faerie dress, an embellished pillowcase dress. I didn't use an actual pillowcase, just made a tube of fabric the same dimensions and went from there. I also grabbed some lovely white sheeting material that has pink butterflies embroidered on it for another dress. (But, then, being the rocket scientist that I am, only got one package of the pink bias tape and neon green thread... I feel a trip to the fabric store coming on) I also thought I'd treat everybody to a view of the "meanie ogre face" that shows when my children force me to peel my human face off by acting like total animals in public places.


Meanwhile, on the knitting front, I've been busy knitting odds and ends. I have two pairs of longies (or shorties, I haven't decided yet) without legs, four thumbless mittens and I made my mother-in-law boob bookends for Mother's Day. They're weighted with 6000 copper plated bb's in each boob and weigh about 5 lbs apiece! They're FABULOUS. Did we take pictures? Of course not. Off to knit some thumbs...
