Attack!

I'd post a picture of what's been attacking, but I feel that if I don't visually acknowledge them, then they might go away and not exist any longer.  So, you ask, what's been attacking? 

Moths.

Tons and mega tons of moths.  I believe we brought them into the house in a box of wood we purchased from Whole Foods a couple weeks ago.  We haven't used the wood for fires because it's been so warm lately -- 70+ degrees today -- which is part of the reason they HATCHED!  I mean, eww.  I've been slowly killing off their family-members for the last two+ weeks.  And I'm still finding them.  It's so bad, I ran away to my mom's house for the week ( I can't get Terminix in until Monday!).  I just couldn't handle them any longer.  Especially on top of having a nasty cold this week -- by the way, I'm in love with DayQuil.

But as a God-send, the Moths have been graciously avoiding my fiber and fabric perfectly.  I haven't see even one in my yarn, fiber or fabric since this all started.  Not even in my clothing.  Thank GOD!  I'd have run away from home, screaming if this was not the case.  I really dislike hate insects of any shape or size.  Mostly it's spiders I hate -- yes I know they're technically arachnids, thank you -- but even flying "bugs" make my short list of things I would rather not have in my house.  I'm honestly fine with them outside.  But once they venture in to my domain, I kill them.  Repeatedly, if need be.  I'm an equal-opportunity bug murderer.  But, I believe it's justified.  They don't pay the rent.

Enough about bugs.  I have this waiting for you:


These will be available two ways.  One) I will have a limited supply of them for sale in my Etsy Shoppe (I'll edit with a link when updated) and Two) I am going to be posting a tutorial on how I made these for those who would rather do the work for themselves.  

Sound good?  I can't hear you!  Heh.  So, keep a look-out the next couple days for the tutorial to make an appearance.  Might be as late as Monday, too.  Might not.  You never know.  Ever.  

Alright, that's it for  tonight. 

Praying for no Moths,

  1. Ewww moth invasion. That's awful. I'd ask terminix to round them up, and then return them to Whole Foods. Not really, cause I actually like whole foods, but I'd be pissed if my house got infested!

    Interested to see the tutorial. I've only used stitch markers a couple times, but since I have this problem with kind of "winging" everything, I tend to abandon things that make me do stuff right. ;)

I absolutely LOVE getting comments, and I read all of them. If I don't respond, please know that it isn't because I didn't see it. It is purely because I didn't have the time and/or health to write a personal response. Thank you for understand, and keep up the commenting, they make my day!
