a short farewell

i think i may be taking a break from the shop. all i've been wanting to do lately is nest (even cleaning the kitchen sounds like fun now - gasp!!) and crochet. there just isn't time for running all over town and out of town for thrifting and i don't know how many posts you want to read about the granny squares i'm making to turn into an afghan.
they'd go like this: today i switched colors! i've got 100 now! 136!
this post will probably suffice.
while i'm gone, maybe you'd like to learn to make granny squares too. apparently it's pretty hip because i noticed this in the urban outfitters catalog today while i was lazily eating breakfast on the couch at noon-thirty.

for some directions, go here.
to just buy the ununique premade one at a pricey price, go here.
when i come back, i'll have things figured out a little better. and probably a huge load of clothes for the shop because i'm kidding myself if i think i won't wander into a thrift shop or two in the meantime.
