Good news: I got a new memory card for my camera!
Bad news: I have yet to take any pictures with it and there is quite the storm brewing right now.
Other news: I'm moving! internetly speaking, sort of.
I have started another blog and am going to post all crafty related things there. I am also going to start making things (and possibly hopefully selling them) under the name of "handspun rainbows" I would love it if you came with me on my journey and wish me luck in my new endeavors! And if you have a moment, come play with me!
Note: This blog will stay as my personal blog. Where I will talk about my life and occasionally rage on the state of the world.

Results!
So sorry everyone I know I missed last Sunday's Year of projects update. And that I haven't posted all week. But I've been having some camera problems. I need a new memory card this one has basically been limping along and has finally decided to give up. So until that is fixed I will not be taking too many pictures.
But in better news! Remember my new friend Alica? Well, after having her survey open for the summer she has gotten 483 results. WOW. I took political science stats last summer. And I had a hard enough time with that. I can't imagine trying to use primary data and coming up with everything. Of course I'm terrible at research, probably why I will never become a grad student.
But how did these break down?
Look! There is me in the Minnesota group along with 10 others! (note there were also international bloggers so these numbers don't add up to 483)
For a better look at this break down. Along with really great information about the project. Make sure you go hop on over to look at the full official results. And don't forget to drop Alica a comment!
More about my own crafting when I get my camera up and running again. Also, cross your fingers for me their might be a new computer in my future!

I so espoiled!
(That is what my mom says to my dog all the time she is so espoiled)
A few weeks ago I sent out a queen package to friend Contessa it included sock blockers, kit-kats, and some handspun (handcarded!) yarn that was fun to spin up even though I was allergic to it. And she so happy and in a good mood that she decided to return the favor as a little bit of a surprise. And what an awesome AWESOME package it was.
On my MOHS Wishlist (rav link) I put that I wanted to learn how to crochet. Every time I see things on Ravelry and go "Why don't I crochet again?" Well, it is because it was actually one of the first yarny crafts I tried to learn I was ten, I tried to learn from my mother and it ended up with a lot of yelling and tears.
But she provided me with a Klutz book (which I love) which teaches all the crocheting basics.
She made me RAINBOW stitch markers! (rainbow! that are super SUPER cute along with an entire gauntlet of other stitch markers at well. I absolutely love them and just love how talented she is!
Seriously do you all see how many pretty stitch markers are on there? Soo PRETTY! You all should be jealous of me. If you don't want to be jealous of me checkout Contessa's stuff.
A wonderful note
And some of the cutest rainbowy heart shaped buttons in the world. I wish I could have taken better pictures of them but I failed. I have to find the perfect PERFECT project for them. I'm thinking some sort of fingerless gloves or something else that I can show off.
Sorry I haven't made my Year of Projects update yet. I went camping on Sat/Sun with some friends (this is Oliver). Followed by Stitch n Pitch with some friends I met on Ravelry. Both were extremely hot but extremely fun!
And told Contessa I would make this post today. I'll try to get it done tomorrow. Better late than never right (although it very well might be never if I don't get on it).

The Craft Book Project
I made a new internet friend!
Her name is Alicia and she is getting her MFA in nonfiction writing. She is interested in writing a book about the Crafting/DIY movement currently happening and is gathering research on it for her thesis. Starting with craft bloggers.
It sounds really fascinating to me. And I know how hard it is to run around, scream as loud as possible (figuratively) and still have your voice not be heard. So if you are a craft blogger. And have a minute please help her by filling out the survey!
And for those of you wondering how my hand dyed fiber is spinning up
I would say quite nicely!
