I need your help!

I'm thinking of renaming my business. I love my current logo and all, (thank you Candice for your amazingness what seems like forever ago,) however I just think I need a name that's a bit better than "handmade by nicole." I think when I originally thought of the name I wanted to use I was trying to keep things simple, but it turns out that NO ONE can spell my last name correctly. It's the curse of the "ARY" instead of the "RIE."

This is where I need your help.

I need a new name. Suggestions are being taken starting...NOW! I can't offer you much, but I can say this winner gets a personally made knitted or crocheted item of their choice! That's right, I said it! So let's hear them people, name my business!

I submit for your enjoyment the following:

Nikki's Nick Nacks
Nikki Knits (this kind of isn't my own creation.)

Oh, and my name doesn't need to be in it or if you'd like you can use any of my various nicknames.

BTW, if you've never visited www.nicoleguthary.com go check it out, maybe it will bring you inspiration!

"Windows is shutting down"

Saying goodbye to 8 years is hard. I'm panicked but I'm ready. Here we go God, turn the page.

My conversation at the car wash.

This just happened to me while I was crocheting waiting on the Xterra at the car wash.

Dude at car wash: I haven't seen anyone do that in forever.
Me: Yeah, I'm an old lady.
Dude: *laughs* I didn't say all that.
Me: It's ok, it's the truth.
Dude: Well it gives you something to do right? I mean something besides reading. I hate to read.
Me: Well I like to read too. I really am an old lady.
Dude: *nods* Well, at least you don't look like one.

Confirmation! I indeed act like an old lady.

Change is imminent.



Iran is changing.

Most agree that this has been brewing for a long time and that it will be a positive change for Iran. I wish I understood more about what is really going on there, I'm reading, I'm trying to learn. It's tough to pin down the history of a whole country and understand why they feel the way they do. I only wish the photos of the wounded and dead were unnecessary. And I wonder, how much is enough?
