Archeology - Another iPhone Cozy Made
I'm doing my homework one Friday morning in my office as well as trying to organize my fabrics, yarn, etc. so that I have room to spread out my books. As I'm organizing and trying to find a package of post-it tabs to mark my notes, I see a plastic bag shoved behind my fabric bins. I get on my knees...
Being Creative Lately, Hmm...
So I've been feeling a lot more creative the last few months, and in between my cakes on weekends I've been painting and drawing a bit - and last weekend I even made a new scarf, completely my pattern too, which is nice. Now of course there's a little story that goes with this scarf, so I'll tell it...
From Things to Squares
Okay, so my first attempt at making a amigurumi crochet zombie doll turned out to be a wee bit ambitious, seeing as I was pretty hopeless at keeping my stitches even remotely even (see photo of Thing, below). So I decided to start with something both easier and less twisted: a baby blanket for...
Weekend crafts.
I made this wreath this weekend. Here is a wavy tutu and fairy wand I also made.
Learning something new
Last Thursday sometime after midnight, I was gripped by the urge to learn to crochet. Not because I have a particularly strong interest in the fabric arts, nor because I have a burning desire to create a pair of fingerless gloves or a charming yarn poncho, but because I discovered amigurumi....

I've been reading about freezer paper stenciling for years but never got up the nerve to try it. Well I finally did. I went to my walmart to look for freezer paper and they didn't have it. I checked the reynolds website to see which stores near me sold freezer paper and all the walmarts did...except...
3 little pumpkins sitting on the floor
My phone camera was not working the other day so I made a little video of the three little pumpkins my daughter and I made for the fall festival at work. I cannot find the website I used for the idea but this website has them up as well (I guess its not a unique idea). The directions call for mod...
Jewels Designs
Hi everybody, Well its been a long time coming, but I'm finally finished (after many hours of tireless work), my new website Jewels Designs, is up and running. This was truely a labor of love. I always wanted to design and distribute my own Catalog/Magazine, that's for artist and folks who support...
Rocket Dogs
I bought my daughter 2 pairs of shoes back when school began. One pair is plaid and is now almost worn out, the other was pink and has been worn so little that they look almost new. She is taking a slightly darker turn now that she is almost a teenager so I decided to decorate the shoes with black...
Flowers and more...
Crochet Flowers These guys are really cute and too easy to make. I've got a set of 8 of the blue/green/purple and 6 of the multiple pinks done already. The interesting part will be figuring out how to string them together... Can't wait to try out this new yarn... it's super soft and shiny.
Books 69 & 70
Vox has said that the book link with amazon should be working again on Oct 15. I miss the ease of putting a book post in. Normally when I get craft books I don't "read" them. I flip through them, I peruse them, and I look at the pictures. Occasionally though, I will come across a craft book so good...
Lookee! An actual post!
Seeing how I can't curl up in a ball and take a nap . . . Work Between the state fiscal issues, the new CIO, the reorganization due to the new CIO and general division nonsense, things are all over the place. I'm kind of wishing I had applied for a local job I saw though it would have involved a pay...
Dancing in my head
I had a little doll dancing in my head this week. She simply wouldn't let me go until she was made. She's not finished, but all of her parts are there. Finally, she's out! Once out however, I have to start thinking about her clothing. What do you see her wearing? I'm starting to read a favorite book...
Mummified Critter.
One of my many Halloween projects is creating a mummified "creature" for a local haunted house. I started off with a ten dollar plastic skeleton and I dismantled him. He was held together by screws so that was easy. (I got this one at Michael's. They had their Halloween stuff out really early. I had...
The XX
e pois parece que vou ao concerto dos XX. Aqui em Nottingham. É no dia 7 de Outubro, no Bodega Social Club. Vou com a Sofia e ainda estou à espera que os bilhetes cheguem a casa. Noah and the Whale tocam em Bath no domingo dia 11 de Outubro... eu até que queria ir ver, mas tenho de ver se consigo...
