mellowbeing - crafty, geeky and a new yorker.

For about a year now, I've been a member of a NY Etsy Team:
{The New New}Through my membership, I've met a few crafters who share the love of accumulating tons of amazing crafty things. One such team member is Karen from
Karen's Monsters. She was awesome enough to give me an *entire* jar of buttons!
Thanks again :)

Lo and behold! The first finished sweater in the Mellowbeing collection of handmade sweaters. I'd never made a sweater before and even though this project spanned almost 10 months, it was a pretty easy pattern to tackle. It just got a little tedious at times so I'd start and finish other smaller projects here and there.

You can view the
Stretchy Button Sweater page on
Ravelry for more details on the pattern and my personal changes to it. I'm just glad it's finished and wearable. Now, to find a second sweater pattern to work on...

As some of you may know, a few friends and I were in Southeast Asia last month - Thailand and Cambodia to be exact.
It was a blast! Everything was an adventure and the weather was hot and humid and yet I miss it.
While there, we went to Bangkok and stopped by Chinatown. And what kind of trip would it be if it didn't involve some craftiness?! Behold, BUTTONS! :)
