Thank you all so much for the kind comments on my glasses! I have to say that I was really surprised by the amount of interest in seeing my new frames – and I’m glad I’m not the only one who was geeking out over them just a little.

I’ve been blogging seriously since June now, and I have to say I’ve been a little overwhelmed by you guys. The community through 20 Something Bloggers, my twitter friends who are stuck with me all day…you guys e-mail me during the day, you chat with me on gchat, you’re so much fun! I have blogged twice before and never found a community. I started this up as a way to remember the crazy time before my wedding and before we bought our first house, and maybe an official blog partner for my Etsy shop, but with no intention of being able to keep it going with regular content beyond monthly updates. It’s been six months now, and I couldn’t be happier to spill my guts on a daily basis to a better group of people. Thanks so much!!

That being said, I think it’s time for some fun stuff…like a Q&A and keyword mania!!

A little while ago I opened up to questions, and I didn’t get many but I did get one! Nory asked:
So I have to ask, did you inherently learn your craftiness, were you taught it by a family member or did you take classes? I’m always jealous of your creations. If I made myself clothes, they would look like a sack, of this I am sure!

I have always been good at things with my hands – I can put things like IKEA billy bookcases together without crying too much, and I can think spatially, if that makes sense. As my high school psychology teacher put it “If anyone in the class needs help with math they should ask anyone in the class other than Kyla. If we need the desks rearranged, we should ask Kyla.” I’m more than a little right brained.

I’ve only been playing with crafty things for a couple of years, I got my first sewing machine in August 2008 which I’ve figured out with the help of Mister, and I started knitting the year before that with encouragement from a family friend and my unspeakably cool work supervisor at the time. I work as a graphic designer & do some photography work as well, but I’m self taught – everything I know is pretty easily gleaned off the internet. My main goal for 2009 is to get into some workshops and kick my handiwork up a notch, but I’m very beginner level and trial & error in what I do.  But I’m glad you like it!

And without further adieu, that leaves My favourite search terms!

Chicago salon’s offering breast massage – I’m sorry, I can’t help you with that. Anyone know any places around the windy city?

Wedding boobs, DIY boobs, 45 degree boob bounce, exploding wedding boobs, and DIY Boob Job – Your wedding boobs will look much like your normal boobs. But not if you attempt a DIY Boob Job. You at least need an As Seen on TV anesthesia kit for that. And an A cup is not capable of a 45 degree boob bounce, you’ll need to find another blog for that. And exploding wedding boobs? I… Um… I’m not sure. This blog probably isn’t for you if that’s what you’re looking for.

I am in 10th grade and have never felt a boob – That’s okay! Please don’t rush the boob touching. But I’m married and, you know, not down with that, so I really can’t help you with. Any 10th graders out there want to help this kid get hooked up? No? No one? I’m going to watch my search terms next September to see if this carries over to grade 11. I’ll keep you informed

Cut my hair off, cut it all off, shave my head, so cute pixie, I hate my pixie cut, how do I grow out a pixie cut, how long is a pixie cut? – A Pixie cut is, judging by the other hair related terms that get people over here, shorter than you probably think it is! The best way to grow it out is to stop cutting it and wait three years. Sorry, but it’s the truth. And it is very cute, when you get used to it or if your name is Ev’Yan.

Is tofurkey any good? – Do we need to ask this? OF course! It’s heavenly!!

lots of making out – I’m all for that, especially if the young gentleman has recently bought you a tofurkey!

Activities to do to strengthen a relationship – I’m a fan of heat embossing on this one. But I have a feeling that it could be a make or break bonding activity. Maybe you could start with having your partner help you send out your etsy shipments before you give him a craft heat gun.

Can you alter a snowsuit for a dog – ….No, humans and dogs are built differently, I would go for the animal version, which is more like a blanket with straps.

Cute little dogs that don’t have to stay inside – Yea that’s an accurate description of my puppies!

Dementia and full moon personality changes – Yep! That’s an accurate description of my insane neighbors!

Duct tape dress form, duct tape dress, duct tape fashion, I duct taped my boyfriend – Please let the poor boy go!!

How three legged cats adapt – Well! My mom’s cat is drinking out of the toilet again and he only gets stuck in it from time to time.

Pay hot girls to give you a piggy back – If this is an emerging market, I’m SO in! $125.00 per piggy back. I’m not above that in the least.

Kyla – Golden Delicious – I think I may have to change my blog tagline.

Thanks again guys, you make the internet a better place.
