Preparing for my first craft fair

                    Okay so I haven't actually signed up for my first local craft fair yet. YET. But it's only January, the Christmas fairs are all over and I'm waiting for the first spring fair. Lately I've been so big on Bernat softee chunky yarn, I'm obsessed.


I've been making these bun hats with it and also some pussy hats because those have become so popular lately. However it's dawned on me that with the next fair being a spring fair, I need to start working on some lighter stuff, so I'm putting the chunky yarn away for now and getting out some lighter stuff. I'm starting work on some necklace scarves, key chains and some lighter hats. I didn't realize how much work I need to put into this endeavour. I need product, shelves to display product, little signs, business cards, foam heads etc.....


So I put in a new order at yarncanada.ca. I love them. They get every order right, they have good prices, and they give you a lollipop with every order. It's a lifesaver for someone living in a small town far from any big chain stores. I did get some chunky for some private orders that have already been paid for, and then some small skeins of worsted weight stuff for baby hats and kids hats. We live kind of near Vancouver B.C. So I'm going to make some Canucks hats as well.
I'm determined to put in 6 hours work every day until I'm ready. Good thing I've got lots of Netflix binge watching lined up. BRING IT ON!

Crochet pussy hat

Wow, I can't believe I've managed to get anything done in the last few days. After experiencing a major depressive meltdown, panic attacks and developing a cold, I've been pretty much out of comish. But I somehow managed to create an extremely simple pattern for a pussy hat. So far I've had one order for plain pink, two for pink and red, one for black and grey and one pure black. I'm still not functioning quite yet, and I'm drinking too much. Being crazy is hard when you're still sane enough to know you're crazy. I honestly can't believe I survived this as a child, it's a living hell. I'm very lucky to have my hilarious family and husband. Yeah somebody actually married this crazy bitch. I wouldn't get through this without vulgar humour constantly being thrown at me. So this is one thing I still managed to do, and like all my patterns, it's deceptively simple. Pattern You will need 8mm crochet hook ...

SSRI withdrawal day 2 and 3

 DAY 2.                OMG WHYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! Why have I done this to myself? I opened hell's door today, dizzy, brain zaps every time I blink or move my head. I've had diarrhea aalllllll day, nauseated, and the worst of all, I feel like I'm not real. I feel like I've gone insane, I can't think straight at all and I'm out of wine :(             I know there is reasons for going through this, but it's gonna suck so bad.          It actually feels like the way it feels if you smoke too much weed or hash and you get too high, you cant think and you freak out, you know you aren't going to die cause it's weed and it non toxic, but it's really freaky and scary and uncomfortable. I've never tried any other drugs, but I would say, based on personal experience, that's pretty close to what I feel like right now, except I feel like that ALL. DAMN. DAY.             ...

Off ssris for two whole weeks!

               Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, I'm effing crazy and coming off my crazy pills is hard. It's been easier this time than it was last time though, probably because I now know to taper off as much as possible before actually quitting(live and learn). It been two weeks now and I gotta say, I feel a lot better. I'm still really bitchy, crank all day, no patience...my poor husband :( Ryan's been so good about it though, he's kept his calm the whole time. He's been planning hikes every couple of days and getting everything packed. He knows I love being outdoors and he knows I need to excercise when I'm sick, more than I actually want to excercise. So he does all of this, as well as going to work every day, he's awesome!                I've had one thing going for me lately, I started a temperature blanket this year(I know, crochet basic bitch lol). It has helped a lot because on the day...
