I've been so horrible at posting to this blog!

NaNoWriMo has taken a huge chunk out of my month though. That, and I just had my Book Nerd Girls group cabin weekend, and all of the New Moon craziness this week/weekend!

I'm getting there on the NaNoWriMo novel though. I am very close to hitting 39,000 words. I should do that tonight. I'm hoping to hit 40k tomorrow, then 10k to go before finishing NaNoWriMo! Of course, the book won't be finished at 50k. But from there, I can relax a little. Then time for rewrites, and...whew. Don't need to dwell on that right now, lol.

I wanted to finish more than half of my Christmas crafting by the end of November, but so far I've only finished making a few pairs of baby shoes, a present for my hubster, a few patterns to make things for other people, and plotted some of my baking.

I still have so, oh-so-very much to do!

It's not that I haven't crafted though. I've done my crafting for things to sell, mostly etsy stuff though. I'll always put my orders first :)

I did get an order for a dozen "Gay Bar" soaps, and they were so fun to make! I don't get nearly as many soap orders as I once did, and I don't post as many on etsy. But when I do get them, I love, love, love making them. My whole house smells wonderful from them too! I'll have to post a picture of those soon.

Well, off to finish up my writing for the night, and possibly fit a little smidgen of crafting in too before bed! Goodnight!

I haven't been able to post recently...

Writing has taken up pretty much all of my time! (I'm doing NaNoWriMo)

I'm now at 25,151 words on my novel though, which is a smidgen over 10,000 words ahead of where I'm supposed to be, so hopefully I can catch up on some craftin'!

I did force in some time to make new baby shoes though.



I still have so much crafting to do. (aside from etsy orders....I'm starting to have more and more Christmas etsy orders trickle in, yay!) Christmas, Christmas, Christmas! I may have bit off more than I can chew this year. We'll see!

Halloween was fun, even if we didn't get any trick or treaters. I wouldn't let any children go inside an apartment building that you had to go inside a door, THEN knock on other doors. Plus with the outside, and most of the inside lights blown? No way.

It was my wedding anniversary, so the hubby and I just hung out, watched horror movies, and went out to dinner. Neither one of us were feeling the greatest, so we didn't go out really.

Earlier yesterday I attempted to get an H1N1 vaccination, but it wasn't meant to be! You can't get the nasal mist one if you have asthma. I was told I definitely needed to get one, since I'm prone to breathing troubles, but I'd have to get the injection.

I also went by Hobby Lobby and took advantage of their .77/yard tulle. I can't wait to make my twin nieces fairy tutus!



Here are some pics of the fabric I bought the other day for baby shoes:




Today is day one of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo)! Writing 50,000 words in 30 days is going to be something else! That's 1,667 words a day, every single day. Today I've written 1,714 so far, definitely surpassing my goal. I'm going to try and write more here in a bit though. I really want to get ahead of myself, since I'm sure there will be days when there is no way I will be able to do any writing!

Plus, on top of doing NaNoWriMo, I'm trying to get the bulk of my Christmas crafting done!

We'll see how it goes, hahah!
