Tonight I learned how to crochet. I bought some rainbow yarn at Michaels this afternoon and it motivated me to learn how to crochet. I made half a scarf during Taken and while we watched A Beautiful Mind. I took it apart though because when I started it i was doing it waaayyy to tight and it looked weird and now I can make a better scarf because I think I've got the basic hang of it.

As I mentioned, we went to Michaels on the way to the Indian Sari Fabric store. These stores are farther away than Ikea is but in the same general direction. Mom and I picked up Brenna, her sister and her mother and off we went. Michaels was fun as always. I bought two largish canvases, some pliers for beading, and the rainbow yarn. I tried to find silk screening supplies but I asked two different people and they were both unbelievably unhelpful. The first said "you're going to have to ask someone in the art department" (which I was standing in at the time) and the second said, "I really don't know... you mean like t-shirt paint?" Me:"Umm, well yes same idea but I need screens, with nylon..." "No I don't think I've seen any of that around... you might want to try another department though."

I just turned around and walked back to my mother.

Then we went to the crazy indian sari fabric store and we were the only "white people" there. They had some really amazing fabrics though and I bought some to make fairy skirts out of. I figure I'm going to set up tables at craft fairs again this winter and sell t-shirts and skirts and jewelry. We'll see how it goes.

My father was standing in the middle of the kitchen a minute ago. He was laughing at me because I am sitting here talking to people on the computer and undoing the scarf thing at the same time and I suppose that looks rather odd.
