u know the previous post i did about the crocheted crochethook/supply holder? well, my dog Tobi is on it again! he has this addiction to yarn. he attacks it, unravels it, eats it (well, not really) and spreads it out to make a great big mess/bed for himself. UGH! well, my WIP is gone and i think, no i KNOW, that he is to blame!! oh no......

OMG!! im multitasking (tsk tsk) but OMG GUESS WHAT???? SALDFJLASKDFASDJF ALSDGLKHQSLGDALJSDkfjkasdkfj qEWASD:GJ

Project

2009-04-08T21:31:00.000-07:00

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

2009-04-08T21:20:00.000-07:00

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!!

Hey people!!

i have decided to start a blog (obviously) about things that i make.

preview:

i crochet, sew, can do origami, like scrapbooking, and ya.......

so this is where i will tell you about the crafty side of my life. me n my friend have a etsy shop, JimJims jimjims.etsy.com fyi, and please dont tell her. i want to see how long i can keep this a secret. you can also ask questions about any items here. i will sign my items with a ♥ so that you will know its my item. if it is not signed with a ♥, i may not be able to answer you question.

P.S.

i am only 11 so dont judge my horribleness/lack of creativity
