I got a head.
No, really. I got a head today. You know, for taking pics of hats and necklaces, and stuff. It is styrofoam. It came from Hobby Lobby.

Stuff
:( I am so sad. The AC Moore near me closed. Permanently! :( I guess I shouldn't be so sad; I DO have a huge stash I need to get busy with. But....! I can't help it. I loved their mill's end bins. They're the only place around who had them. Oh well, I still have Hobby Lobby and their never-ending source of half-off sales, lol. Gotta love the HL! Really. I'd be too embarassed to show off my current stash. I filled up my oversized Zip-lock bags. Two boxes of them. ANd that's not all.
Current Yarny Events
Well, this blog is way past time for an update, so here's a quick one for the moment. Current projects:
Maggie's Crochet Morning Glories afghan, kit I got on sale from Annie's Attic
I've made about 1/2 of the main body of it so far :D
I went hog wild with yarn again, after I cut myself off about twice already, lol. There was a Yarn Bee 1/2 price sale though....!!! And some stellar deals at Hancock's. I'm actually making myself a scarf now from some yarn I've had my eye on for months. Soft Illusion, super bulky, color - sapphire (dark and light blues with light green, and a touch of white). Sorta like the colors you see on a nice clear summer day when you look up at the trees against the sky. ;)
After that I'm going to get to work on:
a sunvisor extender for my car. This will make more sense when I finish & post it.
Other skeins I bought for no apparent reason that I MUST find a use for!
Potholders to go in the kitchen I am going to repaint hopefully soon.
A cream-colored cotton sholder wrap / capelet / shawl type of a thing.

New Supplies
Yippie!!! I visited the mil's end bin at AC Moore this weekend, and here's what I came away with. Yarn for my afghan! Now I have everything I need to get started!
$2.46, $3.59, and $3.59. This is actually more than is needed, though none of it is varigated. Heck, for this price, I could still buy the varigated and use the extra blue/green on other stuff and consider it a good deal. ;)
Plus, my mom is just too cool. I tell her I'm looking for something, and she goes to the weekend yard sales and finds it. She came home with a big bundle of sheets she got for super cheap that I can cut up to make rugs with. :D
And, she has procured a collection of blue Wal-Mart bags from my aunt that I am going to use to make a tote bag. I have tons of white ones, and just enough blue for the stripe, so I'll just vice versa the pattern.
I love my Crochet-A-Day calendar. :)

Annnddd.... I bought a quantity of 8 of these beauties:
Well, they were cheap!
Again with the color. I dunno what to do with these yet but they were 1/2 price at Hobby Lobby, and I wanted to try them out.
Finally, here are a few more Hancock Fabrics 1/2 price purchases :D I liked the pink skeins of the mohair/wool/acrylic blend so much I had to go back for the blues too. And I was so mad I never got a yellow cotton that I got one of those too. Mmm, and all that 1/2 price Chenelle..... I wouldda bought it the first time but she kept ringing it up wrong!
trip 1
With the off brand of "fun fur" for 75 cents, why not?? I can use it on some Java Jackets, or something. :)
trip 2 (more balls of the blue than show though, heh)
EEEEEK! Yard Sales
I'm so lucky my parents love to go yard sale surfing. I just don't have the... whatever it takes in order to get up and out early enough to find anything at them, nor the patience to do so, I suppose. I asked my mom if she would be on the lookout for anyone clearing out yarn or other crochet-related goods. Today she came home with 4 bags bursting yarn and crochet thread! Just look at this!
2 skeins of wool! Woohoo!! (and a couple free pattern books... one with each bag hee) A few skeins of baby/finger yarn, and several other nice acrylic/wool, etc.
As you can see, the previous owner of this thread used it well. There were a few finished goodies tucked within! Now that I have some thread, I picked up some steel hooks while I was at Wal Mart. :) Who knows, maybe I too could even be a threadie eventually...
Yarn, Patterns, and Hooks
It's official... I'm a hooker!
..... oh relax, it's just a playful term that crochers use!
After all, crochet is French for hook. That's right. As of May 1, 2006, I officially bought my very first supplies. I had to document this date so I could keep track of when I got bitten by the bug. Yes, I too now have the yarn sickness. And it's all HER fault! 
At least, that's my excuse, and I'm sticking with it. What are friends for if you can't corrupt them with your hobbies, too? It took a couple of tries of tempting me with yarn and patterns and squares, but how could I resist? I guess it's needless to say that I could not, because here I am. I know this hobby will be with me for a while, which is why I've taken the time to write about my newfound interest as I develop it.
