I bought a new book! And so far it is beyond wonderful =]
I have always enjoyed sewing, but recently I’ve wanted to learn more and sew more…so I bought this extremely helpful guide that includes some fun patterns. Hopefully soon I can post about something I have sewn!
This weekend I cam across a very cute hat, which I just had to make for myself! It’s a crocheted puffy hat =)
Here is the link and a picture from her site!
Two projects left unfinished….I don’t like leaving project unfinished, but I am stuck. The two in question are this kiwi bird I came across some months ago and the halloween pirate pal from Lion Brand Yarn.
The problem I am having with these is crocheting the feet and beak for the kiwi bird, and the legs and arms on the pirate. I don’t know why I cannot get them to work for me. I have crocheted tiny flowers and other patterns, but for some reason I am stuck. Hopefully if I keep trying I can get them to work. If you have any advice I am more than happy to listen =]
My Birthday/Weekend Vacation trip to Santa Barbara, CA was wondeful. I was glad to get away and visit somewhere new. I loved the Santa Barbara Zoo! The animals were amazing and I took many pictures of all of them =] This past week has been super busy at work and just yesterday I had a horrible allergic reaction! So I spent all of today in bed asleep! Which was not very fun or relaxing. I still have much to do and I only have tomorrow to get most of it done. I hope everyone is having a great weekend, and I also hope that this week will not be too busy!
Goodnight all,
Cynthia
After a VERY long break, I have returned to crafting! And my blog. =] I am happy to say that I started and finished a very awesome project. I have been surfing the net on my down time and came across many ideas. I found lots of very pretty fabric, that I just HAD to have! This past Saturday, as I sat eating breakfast, I decided my slump was over! Since then I worked hard on my very first apron. I used the awesome cupcake material I had bought because I am indeed a baker/awesome cupcake maker =D I couldn’t choose between the yummy brown and the tasty purple. so I made the apron reversible! woo! Here is the brown side…..
And here is the purple…..
Here is the top waist band and ties….
And here is a close up of the bottom corner, which I had sewn with right sides facing and then turned it right side out and ironed it before making it very pretty!
Well, not a huge update, but still a good one! I am hoping for a lot more of these! Hope everyone has a wonderful week, oh and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
I am starting to feel that I am drowning in all of the things I need to get done! I want to do so much, but I am just one person. Where to begin!? Sometimes I just want to freeze time and work at my own pace, but the world just won’t slow down. I have to take a deep breath, take a step back and just tackle the project clostest to being finished. I will continue to try harder and harder!
For the past month I have wanted one thing in particular, but I am not sure if it is worth the investment…its the Cricut! So what do you think? I enjoy scrap booking and I would LOVE to make cards of my own. I am just not 100% sure I should spend that much…..is it worth it? I am still debating.
I have continuously neglected my blog and I can only say that I am disappointed in myself. I have quite a few projects in mind and I have so many things I could blog about, yet I don’t…..partly I blame the fact that I have no way of currently getting photos of said pojects and I hate to blog withouth a picture! A picture is worth a thousand words and I need to have one! I just have to, I feel so empty without them. Soon, I will get things rolling and get pictures up and start blogging better. I found this link on how to take detailed photos of your crafts, and it gave me some new insite, so I thought I would share….
A couple of weeks ago, I was working on the Pirate Pal, a free pattern from the Lion Brand website….when my co-worker asked if I would make him a blanket. So the past couple of days that is what I set out to do. He wanted it to be green, but I knew he would like it better if it wasn’t just one solid color. I chose avocado green and natural heather. I am very pleased with how it is turning out. Here is a photo of how its looking so far!
Its funny and ironic how my last post was about my blog neglectfulness…..I still continue to neglect my poor blog. I feel bad, but sometimes I can’t even find the time to live! I keep leaving myself reminders, but they are in so many different places, and then I forget to check them and all that. Ugh….I keep wanting to just start over. My room is a mess, I am a mess, everything is just a mess! mess! mess!Tomorrow = my new start (I mean it this time!)
I will start by having a clean room and workspace, also using ONE planner for my reminders and such.
that is all…for now.
I will post updates so that I can keep myself in check
By the way, as far as crafts go…I am currently working on a blanket for myself, just finished a sweater for lucky see picture below (not very good quality) and I still have to start a blanket for Nick and beanies for Justin and Brandon. Lots of work! =]
