Too bad, so sad.

I was uploading more photos to my flickr account, when I received a horrific message:

"You've run into one of the limits of a free account. Your free account will only display the most recent 200 photos you've uploaded. All of your photos beyond 200 will remain hidden from view until you either delete newer photos, or upgrade to a Pro account.

None of your photos have been deleted, and if you upgrade, they'll all come back unharmed."



What is this all about?? I had no idea that I only had a 200 photo limit! This is so sad. Since I use flickr mostly to store my important etsy images, and others to save my computer some space, it seems like they are giving me no other choice! Has anyone else run into this problem?

Sneak Preview!!

I just started my own Newsletters!! It is so exciting because it is a new way to receive information about my shop!! If you are interested in receiving my newsletter, I have added a mailing list sign up box on the right side bar of my blog!! Check it out!

I left my knitting bag at work! :-( I will not be able to knit my socks tonight (tear). I will read from my latest book, Atonement. It's really good so far.

Now for the preview of what I finished this weekend. See it here first before it goes in my shop!

So I finally finished the wall art for my friend Tara's newphew. I think it is really cute! It is a hand painted canvas with a yellow paper bird. It will go nicely in the baby's room because they have a animal/jungle theme.

Mucho Inspiracion

I stopped by Border's last night to thumb through some great books. I stumbled upon one book that was so inspirational and fun. It's called "The Big Ass Book of Crafts" by Mark Montano. He really had some wonderful ideas! So I bought it and I am going to look through the whole book and get inspired!! Keep checking back to my esty shop because I have some wonderful new things in the works!

As for my socks, they are coming a long quite nicely I think. Slowly but surely, I will have a little friend to put on my right foot. (My left foot is warm, but my right foot is still cold!)

ICE Day

So today was a very icy situation. Upon hearing the news at 12:30 at work, our office closed and I headed for the parking lot to attempt to scrape the sheet of ice off my car. I really wished that I had socks on because with every step I took across the parking lot, shards of ice squished into my shoes. I finally got the majority of ice off of my car, when I received a phone call from dad on my cell phone. He insisted that he was going to pick me up from work, so I wouldn't have to worry about slipping and sliding over the roads. He has a huge 4x4 SUV so driving on a day like this would be like a walk in the park. So I sat and waited for him and started knitting. I finally completed my first sock ever!! Now it needs a friend, so I started on the other sock for my right foot. I was really glad that my dad drove me home, I heard people sliding through intersections and all sorts of madness. I was thinking to myself on the way home as we passed through our neighborhood, that today is not a fun day for kids to go home early from school because it's not at all snowy and fun, its icy and icky - its an ICE Day instead of a Snow day. Now that I am knitting a pair of socks, I will be able to brave the next ice storm.

Earring Queen

I have gotten into a recent obsession with creating these fun earrings. I find whatever image I want and then its on my ears! :-) You can find these and others at
my boutique.

As for my knitting, I promise I will get some photos up for those socks of mine! I am so excited because I have now reached the toe of my sock with plenty of yarn to spare!! YAy!

Good night!

I'm Back!

So I have a busy little bee lately - I finally opened my Etsy shop! I am so excited. The link is http://www.gidu.etsy.com. Tonight I have been working on some new ideas. And I made a really cute handbag/clutch/wristlet/coin purse/cosmetic bag thing! :-) It can be put to any use. It's a nice dainty size at about 8 inches tall (including handles) and about 7 inches wide.

As for my knitting adventures, I am attempting a sock, and I am must say I am quite proud of myself. I will add photos of them next time! Good night!
