1.1.11

Happy new year everyone!

2010 was a crazy year for me in terms of moving forward, and I believe I did so in leaps and bounds compared to where I was in '09!

2011 brings high hopes for me and for Kuriio. I get to start off the year fresh with Kuriio, working on bringing new things to the store, the blog, and getting the website going too! As for personal/school endeavors I am proud to say that it is likely that I am starting off the year with an internship! I am also starting off the year with continued work with great people withing the Spokane Ad Fed to help put together the Addy Awards this year.

I can't be more excited for 2011!

Almost there!

Wow I can't believe it has been ten days since my last post.

Well the holidays have been hectic for me and my blogging schedule, but I will be back up and running on Monday! With new items in the shop and a lot more frequent blogging!

Till then!

12.19.10

Well! Just about 5 days until Christmas, that means I have been busy! Plus with a friend from Texas in town, Birthday Lunch for another friend, an Interview, and more Etsy sales than I have been used to, its going to be a great week!

I feel like while I have gotten a lot done, I do feel like I have been neglecting the blog and the shop a little. It has been hard to keep up with everything when my natural flow of school and everything has been disrupted so much! I have worked on a few things this week though!

I did some dyeing this week, and got some great results! Look for this one in the shop soon!

I also played with my findings and such again this week. Each time I play, I feel like its getting easier for me to put these together without so much though and over thinking of everything!

I did a ton of drum carding of fiber this weekend. Way more then what is pictured. I did these for a project I am doing for the Toy Soldier army. I wanted to make roving inspired by Dr.Steel, then spin it and knit it into something.

See, I told you I did a lot,  I actually did this pile times two, because I carded a ton for my mom also! 

Its turning into such pretty yarn already! Look for it in the shop soon as well!

Finally! an Etsy update!

I got time this morning to add a few items to my shop! Some vintage fabrics, a vintage avon container, and even some Alice in Wonderland books!

I still have some I need to add, probably tomorrow or Sunday!

More up in the shop!

Just added these earrings, and a ton more to the shop! Remember to use the coupon code "blackfriday"  from now till monday to get 20% off!

Back!

I'll have more photos and a whole rundown of the event this week, but till then I was really excited that i found this photo of my nails and the camera I made!

More tomorrow!

New items in the shop, Kuriio on temporary vacation soon!

9 days to go till Steamcon 2!
Its making me very forgetful and frazzled! My blogs have been last minute things, and im trying to keep up on Etsy as well! Good thing that after Steamcon, live can resume as normal! I added 4 items to the shop today, and will be open till Thursday the 18th. Ill shut down on vacation mode for that weekend, probably till that Monday. I'll update from the Con when I can, but the blog will mostly be on vacation also!

Sneak peek!

Here is what I am working on to get into the shop by Wednesday evening! Remember Christmas is growing closer!

oops!

As all my deadlines approach, I have become steadily more busy! 12 days and counting!

Sorry for the lack up updates this weekend, I completely forgot!

Look forward to some decent blogs in the next couple of days!

New yarn in the shop!

Uploaded some great yarn to the shop today!

Go look! Full blog and update tomorrow!

Four more items in the shop!

New in the shop! Handspun yarns!

 More handspun yarn posted in the shop! I'll have some new vintage items up later in the week!

Thrifting, Baking and Being Busy!

Its been a long weekend! I am one week closer to Steamcon, and one project less! Every time I finish a client project is the best feeling. We are getting so close, and I can't wait to see all the work pay off!

My dad got his major Steamcon project done this past week, Dr.Steel in steel! Its for propaganda and its going to be amazing sitting on the Toy soldiers table! More on my Flickr



I also went to Vallue Village on Friday! I hadn't been in a couple weeks, which is long for me. I got a really pretty green scarf, a kinda creepy cool boot/train vase, and some pokemon sheets (dont laugh, they are awesome!).

I did a lot of cleaning and photo taking this weekend, I felt like everything needed cleaned! I got photos of some more things to put on Etsy, they should be up this evening and tomorrow.

I also got a chance today to try out a recipe of Bakerella's. I really want to make some cake pops but I dont have much time lately to try those types of things. So i made these:

Well, those are hers, mine didn't look as pretty, they tasted awesome though! These are her Mini Maple Pancake Muffins. They are really quick and easy too!

These are mine. I filled them to full, and had to cook them longer. They were done but they didn't ever get nice and golden brown like hers. Well better luck next time, they sure tasted good!

Halloween is next week! I am really excited for that, it's my favorite holiday. Next week will be full of fun, with the Rocky Horror Glee show, Graphic Design Halloween party, a midnight Rocky Horror Picture Show, and a dress up day at the museum.

Lots of fun things! Can't wait!

Not a calm day in sight!

I have been super busy this week trying to finish some projects up before Steamcon! I have also been invited to be on board with this years Addy Awards committee! I am super excited to be a part of it all!

I did have some downtime today to play with some older photos I took.

Better updates, more interesting blogs, and more in the shop this weekend!

Html and Updates

Learning to validate HTML today. What a pain! I also got all four skirts done for my client, got my hair cut and made a necklace for Etsy! I was productive today!

In limbo

So what happens when you own a URL and dont have a web hosting sevice or a webpage for it?
Its parked. It floats in limbo till you get a place to store your files from.

But I have no clue where that is supposed to be....yet.

So for now kuriio.com and giannamorrill.com are parked.

But atleast they are mine!

More handspun on my Etsy

Just loaded 6 more skeins of handspun yarn to My Etsy!
