In the Etsy Shop...

The newest Scarflace in Apple Green!  I really love this recycled cotton yarn.  It's so easy to knit up and it feels great!  I love this color because, I have to confess, I am an apple snob.  I will only eat granny smith apples.  The thought of grabbing a macintosh or red delicious or a gala never even crosses my mind.  So in honor of my apple elitist attitude...enjoy the new scarflace!

Christmas in Lake Tahoe...

I am the type of person that takes way too many pictures.  I'm not a professional photographer so I figure that the more pictures I take the better the odds are that I'll have some good ones.  That being said...it took a while to curate the millions of photographs into this still picture heavy post.

I had gone to Tahoe for a day in 2009 when I learned to ski.  It was beautiful and I discovered that I loved to ski.  On bunny hills.

This year we went for a week!  If I would have known in 2009 all the beauty that Tahoe had to offer I would have thrown a tantrum when we left.  Everywhere you turn was a postcard.  Breathtakingly beautiful!

It's even beautiful there when it's about to storm...

Sunrises and sunsets were almost painful they were so beautiful.  The range of colors in such short periods of time were amazing...

Oh!  And we saw a bear while snowshoeing!  Well, technically I didn't see the bear, until this photo (and video) taken by the fiance, because as soon as his mom said, "There's a bear!", I was gone!  I have to say that the zoom on my camera is pretty bad so I was shocked at how close the bear actually was...

Needless to say I had an amazing time and highly recommend Lake Tahoe to any and everyone that will listen to me.  Now I'm back in reality where the snow isn't quite as pristine and white, but I do love NYC with all my heart.

ps. I would be a jerk if I didn't acknowledge the fact that I haven't posted in forever.  I know that even though I said I wouldn't be that I was indeed a slacker.  If you could see the sad face I'm making right now you would totally forgive me.



 

Etsy's Front Page!!!

Yesterday was a rough day.  It felt like the energy at work and in people in general was pretty grim.  I woke up this morning and told myself that I wasn't going to hope for a better day, but I would make it so.  Then today I got an email from Statsy.org informing me that I've made the front page of Etsy again!  AND I sold 4 pieces!  After a rough yesterday this news completely turned my week around!   Positive thinking is a powerful thing...

Have a great week everyone!!

Coming Soon...

Very excited about my lunch time excursion to the yarn store yesterday!  Came across some great new colors in recycled cotton!  Previously I made the Sunshine Scarflace from the same yarn and I am so happy that there are some great new colors! 

They'll be in the shop very very soon.  I'll keep you posted.

Biggest News Ever...

On October 9th my boyfriend and I went for a bike ride down the Hudson.  It was such an amazingly beautiful day!  We parked the bikes for a while, went for a leisurely walk and just basked in the fact that we got to spend such a great day together.

On the ride back home we put a blanket down and hung out in Riverside Park.  After some chit chat and people watching he suddenly remembered he had bought me some candy.  I was really excited because we are both currently working near Jacque Torres and visions of dark chocolate with ginger danced in my head.  He told me to close my eyes...and when I opened them...let's just say the only kind of candy present was eye candy...

That's right!  My best friend in the whole wide world and I are getting married!  I am so happy!  Now I have to work full time, run Chocolate Sushi Handmade and plan a wedding.  But all of that is alright with me!
