I had originally wanted to do something more complex with my mother's journal, but my skills in another area are really no where near where they would need to be for me to do that. After a very sad attempt at a little wood working, I went back to my cardboard and fabric. This one is made a little different than the previous one I made in that ( Read more... )

This blanket quite literally took too long to make. I would work on it for a while, then put it away for a while, and again the vicious cycle would start over again. In all honesty I finished the first half of it pretty quickly, but that it when it became a size that was not easy to work on unless it was at home and spread out and I grow tiresome ( Read more... )

I woman I used to work with who had been trying to have a baby called me a few months ago to say she was pregnant. Excited for her, I made her a baby blanket. I wanted to try something a little different so I went with a log cabin approach and ( here it is . . . )

My niece turned four this June. So I of course had to make her another princess dress. Since the last one was orange, this one was pink and white. Hopefully I will be able to show pictures of her in it, if I recieve some. *wink, wink* . . . do you think they understood the hint?

These are more for my mother to see. When they were here I took them to the Corning Museum of Glass. Very interesting place, loved it. Took some pictures at one of those places set up to make it look like you are working with glass. Anywho, ( onto the pictures )

Next is a couple pictures of Sir Reginald Fizzlebottom. He is now considered a pet, but technically he is an invader. He lives in the bottom drawer of our stove (which should tell you how often I actually cook). However he does venture into different parts of the apartment. He is a spoiled rotten little mouse. We now must sleep with the ( Read more... )

So many new posts to make, I have been slacking on posting here. Since most of the stuff is very different crafts, each new thing is going to be a seperate post tonight. First off we have basket weaving. I have gotten a few books from the used book stores and have been attempting to learn basket weaving ( Read more... )

If anyone is interested, I have four boxes of fabric I am giving away. One of the boxes is full of knit fabrics, mostly in brown, green, white, but does include a pink lace stretch fabric. Some of the boxes have vinyl in them, others have print fabric with pin stripes, flowers, cowboys, etc. They are free to whomever will come pick them up or ( Read more... )

I am moving in a couple of months and have to destash some of my stuff. Back in the begining of this year a woman I know gave me a bunch of craft related patterns/pamphlets/magazines that she got from an estate of a woman who I believe passed away. These all range from about the early 50's to the present time. The ones that I truly do not think ( Read more... )

I like to make these, clay is very relaxing, anyways, my mother wanted me to make one for her. I used sculpey clay, in to two different greens that I twisted together. The inside is an aluminum foil skeleton, my first time doing one of my Venus Figures this way, usually they are made out of solid clay, but I wanted this one to be lighter.
