Cozy Cozy

We are all moved in.

We just moved from a beautiful 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment to a tiny hotel room, with a small kitchenette. I no longer have a small forest outside my window. We don't even have a couch or a table. What bothers me most is the only place I can work happens to be where I sleep. This makes me feel so lazy. I don't like sitting in the same place that I sleep, waking up only to make the bed and work....and then go back to bed. I will have to figure something out. I won't be able to live like this for more than a day. I'll have to go exploring..

I'm not complaining though... 2 words..

Room Service.


Sweet.

Our hotel room is so unbelievably crowded. I'm just telling myself it's cozy.

This is the first time I've had TV in a few years. I really hope I don't get too used to it.

Luckily before we moved I stayed up and worked real hard on these. 
Because I'm not quite sure how much I will be able to design here..
I woke up one morning deciding that I wanted to make boots. I don't normally like shoes, at all. I'm really not sure what prompted this venture.. but I decided to do it. (I'm currently working on some nice felted ones.. but those will have to be put on hold until further notice.)
I wanted something a little more durable than just yarn. I didn't want to slide around the kitchen. You know, I wanted actual shoes, not slippers. I'm proud to announce these boots have rubber soles.
I'm also very proud of how comfy they are. Boots will be available in the shop shortly, they will be made to order.. because I just love mine so much.
I wonder where we will move to next. We will find out in about a month... 
for now I will just enjoy Arkansas. It really is a beautiful place.

  1. Haha. I completely understand where you're coming from when you mention working where you sleep. I work at home and my office is in my bedroom. I feel lazy too and probably not as productive as I once was when I was in the office.

    I honestly can not wait until the boots are available in your shop! I love them! :)

    Always,
    Michele

  2. girl, you always amaze me!

    I know change is weird at first but it seems you adapt pretty quickly. I'm sure the bed thing is a little strange but it will just make the next home nicer!

    Do you know what I think is incredible? The fact that you move so often but keep cranking things out for the shop! It is inspiring!

    I love the boots ESPECIALLY since they have rubber bottoms! xo

  4. Those boots are adorable!

    You should go to walmart/a thrift store and get one of those folding camping chairs, if there is space for it. you can sit in in and work, and then fold it up and stick it in a corner at night!

  11. Rachael! I love the boots. They are amazing. I can't wait till they appear in the Shop.

    I'm attempting to make the dress you gave the tute on. Started it on Saturday, and I'm still going. Slowly stitching the skirt to the top. I'm a bit of a poor student at the moment so it is all handsewen. Hopefully it stays together!

    Could you take your stuff to a park? That would solve the bed-work-bed situation? a bit of a picnic day.

  12. Maybe get one of those folding canvas chairs and take your work outside. They are fairly comfy and often even come with a cup holder for a nice drink. :)

    The boots look awesome! Wish that I didn't live in FL so that I'd have a reason to wear them. They look too hot for down here.

  13. I think the boots are cute. I wonder what they would look like if you put a curl on the tip of them...you know, like you do with your hats?

  14. Malingo-
    The brown ones do have a little curl on the tip! it's just slight, I haven't had enough time to figure out how to really make them curl with crochet, but I'm doing it with felting!

    I love these, they are adorable, I can't wait til the felt ones come out! (If they haven't already)
