But thanks to Regretsy, I found COOTIES!
These are unbelievably cool and cute at the same time – you can give someone cooties for any occasion.
http://www.etsy.com/shop/igotcooties This voodoo cootie is my favorite, so I borrowed the picture to share with you all to lure you into her etsy shop.
So, off to her store with you – look at all her cool cootie stuff. I should have an envy category – wish I’d thought of this!!
Why I love Red Heart Yarn
When I saw other people dissing my favorite yarn (for shame, Howie! – LOL!) I just had to write about my love for the yarn. It takes up most of my bins..and bags…and piles of stash. And here’s why:
Just a small pile of my stash – the stuff that is out for quick and easy use:
Toybombing for National Crochet Month
I wrote an article about it too! http://www.examiner.com/examiner/x-35045-Denver-Crochet-Examiner~y2010m3d13-Toybombing-for-National-Crochet-Month
Toybombing
It’s my new term – perhaps I made it up – for a new phenomenon. It was started by these folks: http://thetoysociety.blogspot.com/ and the general idea is to make a handmade toy, put it in a bag with tags telling folks to take it home, and asking that they submit a photo of it when found. It doesn’t always happen, but sometimes it does. So I got in on the act today, and toybombed. I’m calling it that because I didn’t put out just one toy, i put out 11.
I had this basket of bookworms left from I ran a store just sitting here, and I thought they would be a lovely first run. Knowing I was off to downtown (I got an unexpected interview for an article, so hauled myself out) I tagged the herd. Here they are:
My first stop was the Evergreen Library; I had some books to drop off, so I hung my first one from the drop slot. 
My next was dropped in McDonald’s in downtown Denver- I just left it behind after I had lunch. I went to my interview, and hung the next one on the fence near my interview location.
The next bunch ended up in the Denver Public Library -One on the third floor catalog monitor, three in the children’s room, one on the book checkout machine, and one on a book rack mid hallway on the main floor. The last two ended up in the parking garage – one in the stairwell and one in the elevator.
I kept waiting for someone to yell at me; it almost felt like I was doing something wrong or illegal. But it’s neither wrong nor illegal to leave a toy for someone else to enjoy, so i’ll be doing more of it!
Crochet IS exercise!
Anddon’t ever let anyone tell you it’s not. I crocheted for four hours straight this evening, and my biceps hurt for a while!
I’m building muscle!
