Project

Hey Peeps!!

here is a project taking longer than expected.....

i am a little lousy at sewing bigger scale (since i have issues with keeping the fabric straight so i often get a curvy mess) and i REALLY need a supply case.  FAST!!  so i took a look on flickr, my number 2 source of inspiration (second to etsy of course), and saw THESE!!

i dont really do patterns cuz they are just so not.....me.  personal.  u know!!  its too, deja vu.  anywhoo, since i havnt ever done this before (like a case) i was looking for patterns.  what did i find *this is the part where u say 'NADA!'*  

u would be correct!!  nada pretty much sums it all up.  all i found was sewing patterns.  well, with a 4.25mm crochet hook in hand, i improvise!!  going with only a picture.  here it is so far.  not much, i know, but somehting.  a start.  HOPE!!

eww i sound like some freak!!

oo! quick tip!  for those of you who need to photograph @ night, heres a good tip.  picnik.com has a tool that allows you to change the exposure and contrast.  use it!!  the above pic USED to be a black, dark, grey, mess.  i fixed it!!!  it of course isnt a perfect too, but it will have to do....

Crochet Flower

lookie what I FOUND!!  its LOVELY and EXACTLY what i have been looking for!!  other tutorials just give you pics, or too much dilly dallying, or not enough detail, etc.  this tutorial for a Crochet Flower from MultiCrafty is something i will use to spruce up my kreations!!  omg EXCITED!!  i am gonna have a lot of time this week (i have easter break so NO SCHOOL) to have fun.  admit it!  u totally LUV it!!

Amigurumi

oops!!  pics outa order.  w/e.  i guess my first thing to show you is my teddy bear.  he is sky blue with white limbs and tail and dark blue ears!!

next come my fluffy white easter bunnies.  i have brown chocolate bunny too, but i dont have pictures

Sneak Preview!!

anwhoo, my friend jane, the persona who does jimjims with me, has made a shirt!!  here are pics.  shes probably not gonna put them in the shop but whatever.

Purple Applique Heart Shirt (i know, bad pic)

Banner

u guys like the new banner?  real quickie.  took less than 15 minutes!!  i adore it.  u might not though......  i could make a custom banner for you if you give me some overview of what you're looking for.  whatever.  crafting isnt limited to physical things........

OH!!  almost forgot!  also make a signature.  just some text right below.
