I was commissioned to make these for my little nephews. My sister found the idea as a crochet pattern. I think they turned out pretty cute! Although we’re worried that the toddler size hat is TOO big but we shall see. I’m a little bummed that they aren’t’ really from me;)!
I saw this idea in a magazine. I happened to have a felted wool sweater in a pretty green. I cut off the sleeves and cut them open. I just used straight pins to pin it to a styrofoam wreath I already had in the closet. I swiped some red crystal beads from a [...]
Here are photos of a few of the things I’ve been working on while the boys are gone. I had this record forever to try this project. It took less than 10 minute to make this bowl. Originally I was going to keep it–notice the RED label? That’s why I bought it–but I decided [...]
I grew up in a home full of crafting and creativity. I enjoy quite a few crafts and always love making something pretty. I relax that way and I enjoy seeing things I’ve made. The closet under our stairs was PACKED with craft supplies. Mom always helped us with projects and let us use supplies. [...]
In the past when I made crafty stuff, I gave most of it away. I don’t know if I sprouted a selfish gene or what, but I keep most of my knitting! I found a purse on Etsy with a similar pattern and she said she made it up. She was also charging big bucks [...]
I finally took a bunch of photos or edited photos of things I’ve been working on. Please don’t think I did these all recently! Some of the projects are from this past summer. I knit a pumpkin hat for my baby nephew. I painted chalkboard paint on a red thrift store mug for my pens. [...]
When my mom came to visit in June, she brought me a button bracelet. I loved it! Here is the one she made for me. (this is the one my mom made for herself) Are you sitting down? These are so easy you’ll laugh! All you need is buttons and elastic cord. The elastic cord [...]
I’m trying to make up my own pattern for something and I think it looks like what I think it looks like! (Is that English?) But what do you think it looks like?
The project I asked you to guess about whas 1/2 of this. Isn’t it cute? If I make these to give away I have to figure out a better way to sew the fabric lining onto the knit pieces. It’s not quite right. The yarn is from a sweater I bought at the thrift store [...]
James and I went on a nature walk a couple days ago. I practiced taking silhouette shots. Here he’s looking at the lake and telling me to hurry up! Here is the latest project I’m working on. Can you guess what it is?
