Bender is a SUCCESS!!

I posted the Bender hat on a crochet forum and Geeks!! It was loved by hunderds, well several admirers. Found a tester for the pattern. Can not wait to hit Etsy with it!

Bender Hat

OK OK OK I know this is NOT Harry Potter, but I had a brain storm and had to create! Harry is almost done. Like the blond I am I bought the wrong batteries for my camera, so I used the camcorder to snap these of my latest creation. I was inspired by the Sci Fi Convention I am going to and when I heard they where doing a 24 hour Futurama marathon, I could not resist.

Ladies and Gents I proudly present to the Bender Bending Rodriguez hat!!

Special thanks to my loving Hubby for posing. And YES!! Before you ask I am writing the pattern down.

Harry Potter Crochet progress..

Well the pattern I was using seems to be flawed. The body was supposed to fit a gallon milk jug. Nope, I got it to fit a 2 liter bottle though. I actually kinda like it better, gives it a more body shape to it. I have the body, head and one leg done. I worked on the hair last night and it completed. Will work on the other leg and arms today. I am going for the look in the picture. I asked and received a terrific pattern from Fran at Crochetville, for a owlet. I am going to make it using white baby lash yarn, to try to get it to look like Hedwig. Will get some pictures tonight.

Erik's football game today!

WHAT A GAME!! 22 seconds left in the game, score 12 to 6 for us, on their 1 yard line and....THEY HELD THEM and WON!!! Way to go BEES!!

Christmas is closing in Gang!!

There are days!!

When I really wonder "WHY, I am doing this job?" Got into an dang near arguement with an account manager today, over all things a printer! Finally got him to believe I knew what I was talking about. *Sigh* Maybe time for a new job.

DONE!!

DONE!! Three cradle purses, in the box and ready to be mailed. WHEW Now I can work on what I want to get done for the Mountain Con 4 Convention. Hoping to get a Harry Potter done, a Gollum hat and a Bender Hat. Then I will get started on Christmas. Seriously thinking no more orders unless they are from the website till the New Year!

Tech Support = Torture?

Did you ever get the feeling that the person on the other end of the phone is just not listening? Yes, I do technical support, but on those rare occasions I do have to call, I think they are just messing with me! I know what the problem is, try to explain all the steps I have done, but do they listen? NO!! They start with their list of things to do. Once again I say "I have done all this," but in one ear and out the other. Is it because I am a woman or are they just being dense?
I am so glad my crochet hook does not talk back, make comments, suggestions or anything else. Where do I sign up to crochet for living?

This is SOOOOOOO much like my cat Shadow, it is not funny. The twerp got his tail hooked in the yarn that I was working on last night, got out the door, down the hall and halfway down the stairs before I got it pulled off. He came right back and started the rubbing and meowing for more attention. Would love to contact the artist and ask him to do one about a cat in the yarn.

Red Preemie Christmas Dress set

I FINALLY got it done and promptly picked up three more cradle purses order. I wanted to work on a Harry Potter door stop, oh well. Here are the picks before my camera died. I thought the white flowers looked Christmasee (is that a word?)
