Crafts of 2008 #41-50
2008 Crafts part 5. Sorry for the mega spam. Lots of pics, especially on the quilt in this part.
#41 - Christmas Sheep Pin
Google, google.
Based on my felt sheep ornament, only this one is wearing a Santa hat. I wore this as a pin on my uniform from Dec 1-24 this year. It seemed to go down well.
#42 - Wrist Bag 2
I made this bag for Catherine for Christmas. Checkered fruit outside, with ladybug lining.
#43 - Ben's Ball
Ben expressed some sadness at not having anything to throw at me to get my attention, as I'd moved the stuffed birds I'd made. He asked for a stuffed ninja star. I made him a ball, as I wanted to test a pattern for a ball I'd found. It came out very flat. He likes it.
#44 - Lisa's Quilt
Showing backing and tag.
Close up of binding. I made the binding myself too! I was proud.
I made this quilt for Lisa for Christmas. The theme is "these are a few of my favourite things" and I included prints and applique pictures of things Lisa likes, including: ducks, cats, shopping, food, running etc. I am so so happy with how this came out. Lisa loved it too! Everyone we showed seemed really impressed too. 150cm square.
#45 - Monster Rug 2
'Augh, my eyes,' says Ben.
HURR DURRRRRR
I has a box.
A monster rug made for Jamie for Christmas. It's BRIGHT pink. Like, so bright, that sometimes, when it catches the sunlight, I feel like it goes out of the gammut range of my eyesight. It's fantastic. Its belly is black. I made a few improvements from my original rug, including felt eyes instead of crocheted eyes, and tying the mouth in so it doesn't have mouth prolapses all the time. Sorry, Jamie, for making it pink, but it makes me laugh :)
#46 - Cookbook
Click here for cookbook pdf.
A Jamie-proof cookbook. Includes 5 recipes the me and Ben cook fairly often that should be fairly easy and cheap to make. I also included all the non-perishable ingredients you need to make them all. I had fun writing this. I hope he actually ends up making some food from it!
#47 - Ipod Case
1 cupcake + 1 cupcake = 2 cupcakes.
Another Christmas present for Lisa. A little case for her ipod, with a glass cupcake made by someone who wasn't me. I needed something to put the cupcake on, and found this matching fabric.
#48 - Love Birds Hanger
A hanging thing I made for Murray and Catherine for Christmas.
#49 - Hard Drive Clock
A hard drive that we ripped apart to turn into a clock. Based on some I found on etsy, but they didn't ship here, so I made my own. Followed this tutorial. The clock movement was much much harder to find than I imagined. I eventually found it at Jaycar. Thanks, Jaycar!
I made this for Murray for Christmas. He seemed to like it, although, he apparently can't read analogue clocks... -_-
#50 - Round Tuit
A round tuit that I made for Dad out of a coaster. I put this with a gift card for Bunnings. Now maybe he will be able to get some jobs done around the house! :)
YAY! All done. I'm proud of me. It's nice to finally have records of all the projects and pictures too. :)
I hope to do 50 more things next year, and also hopefully sell some!
