Hi Stephanie

Thanks so much for the wonderful yarn purchase. Just wanted to let you know that I have pulled your order and they will be going out in the Tuesday Morning postal pickup. I hope you enjoy my alpaca boys - they make the most incredible fiber. If you have a chance I would love to see what you do with it but no pressure. Can not wait to see your shop goodies - I will heart you to get the ball rolling.

Stay well and again thank you for shopping Larkspur Funny Farm. I also sent you the refund on your shipping thru you paypal account.

She researched me and saw that I'm planning on selling on etsy, and HEARTED MY SHOP!

The person who made this beautiful yarn hearted my shop!

That color is one of the colors I bought, by the way.

And I can't tell you the last time Herrshners wanted me to "stay well." Then again, I haven't bought from them, and they don't brag about their alpaca boys, and they don't even necessarily even SEE a fiber animal there.

Dude, I'm totally excited now. I bought enough yarn to make lots of little things, and put me over the "free shipping" minimum.

Don't you want to order a big helping of red velvet cake for yourself?

I see that you're affirmatively nodding, so click for red velvet cake!

Wooo! Now go there post haste!

It's on it's way!

Hybrid Hopes on Etsy

house spiders

Ok, so I'm not even going to link to the sites, because that would require me GOING to the sites, but interested parties can google "hobo spider" and "giant house spider" to see images and descriptions.

I can deal with this one, from Kraftykateskreations on etsy. This one's filled with catnip.


The good news is that ours have spots. Or rather, the one my brother captured has spots. Plus, I think hobo spiders are in the medium to large category, and ours can only really be described as medium. The giant spiders I imagine in my head are GIANT, and the large ones are also pretty big. Our little 2-3 inchers (counting their wingspan, or leg span rather) are medium sized. Yeah. So, not hobos.

However, me, the fiance, and the brother have come to the conclusion that we'd prefer NO spiders larger than, uh, well, no more 2-3 inch spiders. So we're bombing. I looked up some stuff that would kill spiders and made sure our fogger had some of those toxins. Shit, I hate chemicals, but spiders freak me the fuck out. I've tried to get over it and have come a massively long way. Garden spiders, cool. Even those big guys that look like ancient monsters (those red/orange/yellow ones with the thick webs). But those creepy ones in my house? shivers. I don't like them above my head, I don't like them on the wall in the bathroom. I do not appreciate them at all. I even tried to convince myself maybe the universe was saying spiders should be a shamanic totem animal. Fail.

So I'm spraying chemicals all over the basement. Awesome.

I know how to keep ants out. I know what to do with slugs. But spiders of this population, crap.

This, however, is awesome. Hurray for ZombieKittenO If only I enjoyed trying to walk in a pencil skirt...

Year of the Snake

Isn't that lovely? I just bought it. I might wear it at our wedding. Andy and I are both born in the Year of the Fire Snake of 1977.

Check out the Eternal Autumn shop with the quickness!

Wedding Gowns

So I got a copy of Offbeat Bride. I wasn't worried or even planning our wedding much until the last month or so. The wedding's just a year away, so I gotta get on it.

So I'm gettin on it by looking at etsy :)

Specifically at dresses.

Here's a gorgeous number in black and turquoise by Countessa.


Here's a pretty slightly off-white number. The Madmoiselle by Joanshum. Yeah, I know it's madEmoiselle, but it's her dress, she can spell it however she wants to.



Or hell, maybe I'll just go gothic lolita via PW Design. I just need a matching umbrella and an extra petticoat. (or at least an umbrella painting)
.

Although I like that last dress, I was maybe kidding for the wedding. I think I'm going to be making my own wedding dress, in gray. Maybe black. With a bit of pale apple green. Strapless, about tea length, but I want it to be shorter in the front and longer in the back, and no train as I'll be getting hitched outdoors on top of a dormant volcano covered with trees and bits of nature. Also I'm gonna buy or make a little hat/fascinator with a bit of netting and have some fly ass shoes.
