For those of you who haven't seen these, take a look!

Aren't they lovely?

Peggy also known as 5minutes on Ravelry has graciously allowed me to share her sweet images, you can also check out her blog même 5 minutes.  It helps if you read French :)

Happy November!

Definitely my favorite month :)

No pictures yet because I still haven't taken Jen's advice about going to the CF card manufacturer's website & downloading the software.  My card still has over 999 images left for me to take, and I already have over a thousand on there.  Maybe it was a bit of overkill getting that card.

Back to November's fabulousness-

This month I'll have my 1 year anniversary at this blog, how fun!

Also my birthday month, another reason for celebration.

Let's not forget Thanksgiving- my absolute FAVORITE holiday- no gift requirements and some super yummy food!

My youngest sister's birthday is this month too, and now my niece's as well.

I'm thinking about running another pattern deal during this month, in honor of my blog/shop anniversary, and a good time for thinking about Christmas gifts methinks :)

Anyhoo, I'll be taking pictures of my niece tomorrow for her birthday invitations so I'm definitely going to be getting the images on this humongous card saved to a (ton of probably) disk(s).  Then pictures! Yay! I hate not posting with pictures.

I'm going to try to get back on the blogging horse this month too, I've been to lax lately on posting, I have so many things that I bookmark and blogs that I subscribe to.  I think to better catalog them for posterity, and reference, I'm going to try to post more about that. Good idea?

See you tomorrow. Hopefully.

Amazing.

Really, I know a gazillion people have already linked to Kathleen Dougherty's awesome fantastic Grosgrain blog where she sews fantastic children's clothes and then GIVES them away, but her latest is too amazing not to post about.

By doing so, I'm entering her contest to win this fabulous Marie-Thérèse gown.  Seriously, if you don't read her blog, you need to get over there and take a look, and probably stay for a while.  Through serendipitous clicking I found her blog and subscribed immediately.  I think it helps that my daughter is on the smaller size of the dresses/clothes that she's usually giving away.  I've never entered one of her contests before, though I've been seriously tempted, but this one blows everything out of the water. Really.  Even if you don't have little girls, her clothes are so sweet to look at, so please do just that.

In the bat boy news, I've got him all finished up except his wings, oh, and his second ear, and part of his tail.  But other than that, he is finished.  I'm seriously always behind on holidays, but I can only keep hoping that one day I'll be ahead of the curve.  Hopefully I have some sympathizers.

I do know how I want to do the wings, I've planned the pattern in my head when I'm supposed to be sleeping, so I haven't gotten up and actually tried it, but I'm pretty sure it's going to work.  Lately, I've found that planning patterns while I'm going to sleep is actually becoming an effective way for me to fall asleep; except it's sometimes not the best plan for remembering my actual plans :)

Happy Birthday to Me!

It's a biggie- I'm 30 today! The 20's were great to me, but I'm really excited to see what the 30's have in store for me.

Welcome, and I hope you enjoy yourself here. 

I have just a couple of announcements right now:

• I will add a lot more content & information with time.

• I'm moving from my old blog- Owly , and hope to bring that content with me.

• I write amigurumi/crochet patterns, I love doing it and will use this forum primarily to talk about them, though I dabble in embroidery and I have dreams of sewing and the like.

• If you leave a nice little comment and your email address before 11:59 pm Pacific Standard Time you'll get a pattern present from me- Today November 29th only!

I really look forward to getting comfy here at Owlishly, I hope you do too!
