Wow, thank you guys so much for all your comments on my last entry! I was really just worried I was letting the crocheters down by not blogging enough about crocheting, but it seems that those of you who responded were okay with a mish-mash of my weird brain. I really appreciate the thoughtful replies. I promise I’m reading every single one. I had intended to also respond to every single one, but this month has been intensely crazy for me!!! I still haven’t cleaned up my craft room or my house or really caught up on all my projects, because new and immediate deadlines keep popping up! I have two new patterns to write and my California sales tax to calculate and file before Jan. 31. Plus, I wanted to update my Etsy shop Feb. 1 with Valentine’s Day stuff, but I’m not sure if I’ll be able to meet that deadline. I’ll do my best. I’m hoping that things will settle in a bit more in February. Fingers crossed!!!
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with a picture of me and my Alf telephone from Instagram. It randomly started ringing the other day (I don’t use my landline or give out the number), and I had no idea what the sound was or where it was coming from! Alf-ringer is now off!

In my dream world, I’ll be able to fit an actual desk in the craft room for my computer and my Alf phone, so I can take photos of me looking super professional in my office.





phantom phones!! During a hurricane last summer, everytime a transformer blew, my house phone would ring. In the middle of the night. Needless to say if it looked like Alf I’d be even more afraid!!
p.s. I have a question about getting pet hair out of my crocheted goodies from you. Sadly my cats hair gets on EVERYTHING and I’m afraid using a lint roller will pull the yarn
Yeah, I think crochet/knit and pet hair is tricky. I have pets with short/coarse hair, and a roller wouldn’t work for me anyway. I’ll ask Twitter! I’d love to know how to get pet hair out of my black sweaters!
Thanks! In the meantime, I guess I’ll have to get a nice storage box to keep all my stuff in. Away from cats!!!
I already thought you were awesome right off the bat but now THE ALF PHONE?! My mind is blown… hahaha! You ROCK!
Hairy got it for me for Xmas. It’s way cool!
lol my bestie has a cheeseburger phone in her room and like you she no longer uses her landline but we’ve been friends since elementary school and I still remember her phone number so I dialed it the other day and she totally freaked out – she sounded scared when she answered it lol! LOVE alf! Love the phone!
