Did Whim Wham fall off the face of the earth?

No.  I am still here, but my apologies on the lack of posts.  I went on a vacation, and found out there was no internet where I was staying.  (Not so relaxing for me, but probably a break I needed to take.  I just would have prepared better had I known.)  Anyway, lots of fun stuff going on here!
I had a nice vacation.  I still did manage to work a little though.  I got an Etsy order while I was vacationing and  happened to be where the customer lived, so she asked to meet me.  It was really nice to meet a buyer in person.  It was an unexpected and very cool part of my trip.  It's so nice to put a face with a name! =)
I also hit some garage sale's.  Only I would garage sale on vacation!  They were having a neighborhood garage sale where we were staying at my friends house, so I couldn't resist.
Hasbro FurReal Friends Squawkers McCaw ParrotMy daughter got a pet parrot for $10, that she absolutely loves.  She really lucked out because he costs $350 in the store and Mom would have never spent that much on a toy.  I guess since real parrots cost so much, people pay this????  Anyway, he is pretty cool and almost as annoying as the real thing!


I also lucked out an found a cool vintage sheet and some nice eyelet pillowcases.  Gotta love the vintage fabric finds at garage sales! =)
We also went to a baseball game, a drive in movie, went bowling and made some huge sidewalk chalk drawings.
Overall, we had a really nice time.  Now back to reality and all that I have been neglecting!

Thirft Store Wool Sweater Finds!

wool sweaters

My supply was running low, so I ran to the thrift store today to look for some more wool sweaters.  I didn't do too bad.  I found 12 decent sized sweaters that are just waiting to be felted!  I wish that I had found some brighter colors.  I would like to have some primary rainbow colors to work with, but I'll take what I can get.  They should all felt up nice and thick!
I can't wait to make myself a new pair of slippers!  Mine are showing severe signs of wear.  You know what it's like when kids are around though.  You make everything for them, and eventually get around to making something for yourself...maybe!  =)
