I love reading craft blogs. I spend a bit of time reading, getting inspired, then pinning awesomeness on my Pinterest :3
I was lucky enough to comment in time to be eligible for a Craft It Forward from Little Gray Fox! She creates some amazing things :D
I received mine, a lovely flower “Poof” on Monday with a lovely note ^^ I love the embroidery design! It’s my first one.
Inspirational, indeed! It’ll be hanging in my craft room :D
Well, the sewing machine is getting a bit of a break as I try to tackle some new non-sewing projects :) New keycharms are in the works and I’m awaiting materials to start new things. I might try to sculpt something this year! Let’s see how that turns out lol
Yesterday during the exciting Puppy Bowl XIII (that I watched 3 times out of it’s several airings, back to back) my kiddo and I made some perler bead crafts. She played ice cream shop with it (?), while I created some Adventure Time portraits. I didn’t have a pattern design, I just kind of winged it.
Top Row: Finn the human, Jake the dog
Bottom Row: Fiona the human, Cake the cat
I’m not sure what most people do what perler (hama? nabbi?) art after creating it. Do they sell it? Give it away as gifts?
Around New Years, kiddo and I ventured to a favorite place of ours, Bayou Ceramics. It’s a paint-your-own pottery place. I wanted to go in and paint a candy dish. She picked out a Christmas dog.
She got bored pretty fast, so as I continued painting, she went off to look at books and play with the 2 little boys that were there lol
I made a sleeve before for my iPad but sometimes I get scared of it sliding out and breaking into a million pieces. I found this really cute faux fur, so I decided to make something cute from it ^^
The flap closes down and secures with velcro. The inside is lined with padded quilting fabric.
I managed to make this in one night :) It was fun, but now pink fuzzy faux fur dominates my office x_x
Just wanted to display some gifts I’ve been working on ^^
This is a Scooby Doo themed blanket and pillow set for my niece. I asked my sis what kind of edging she’d like for the blanket, and she said her daughter would like the fringe. It’s my first time making the “no sew” blanket, so it was fun try try something new :)
