Well, I got it! I went with the beautiful bird with pomegranate branch illustration by Afsaneh (joojoo.com).
Thanks to Megan at metamorphosis for the amazing work.

third
i completed some projects this weekend. (see below)
i also attended the "craftacular" in bloomington, which was a VERY misleading name. i don't really want to go in to it, but i was HIGHLY disappointed, and hate bloomington even more now than i already did.
to make up for bloomington's complete and utter fail, we stopped by mass ave knits on the way home. whoa. i kept saying "i need to go, i need to go" and i am so glad i finally did! it was huge, they have a sale room, a button wall, and were selling girl scout cookies. i got some great soy/wool blend yarn, and picked up an entry for bags to riches 2009.
i completed the spring beret that i almost completed at the beginning of the week, but then dropped stitches, and failed at. well, this time i didn't fail! but, it is way too big for my head and not nearly as slouchy as i would like. it's definitely a pattern i think will serve as a good foundation for something awesome. i'll have to post a photo later...
i also completed a batch of buttons!! james cut these out at the beginning of the week for me, and they really turned out nice!

i had to sand them, and then it was time to give them some color!

next, they got some detail with an ink pen.

ta da! i think the first batch came out decent. but, i see things that can be way more awesome on the next batch. they're quite cute though! i am really pleased. now i just need things to put them on!

first and 1/2
ooof! i forgot.
i got this beautiful debbie bliss stella yarn on sale while i was visiting the beautiful city of louisville at the knit nook. this store will easily become my favorite place to spend my time when i move there. i even picked up a frequent buyer card! (wishful thinking, i suppose)
i can't wait to do something with it! two of my favorite colors!!!
i also got these tiny guys...which kinda started the whole "custom button" idea.
