TWLOHA Day

Happy Friday the 13th, and TWLOHA Day...To Write Love On Her Arms...Depression Awareness!
Emily has an excellent post on her blog here .

TRIUMPHANT!

Da da da daaaa! I win! lol. I got it all casted off by myself...BOTH SIDES! I rock. SOOOO ready for this...so ready. Smudge was "helping" as you can see...But who can get mad at a face like that?! It's not really anything...just a practice run with some yard I had already been playing with so it was a little pulled apart. I'm very excited to start playing with some other stuff :)

Playing with colors....

I did some of these today, some a few months ago...but I love the effects!



necklace...

Necklace & sunglasses...And eyes...it's a subtle difference, but biggified it's worth it.




I only did her one eye because the other was darker and it looked funny. I like how it turned out though.


LOVED these Lorikeets! Such vibrant colors!
This waterlily isn't finished obviously, but you get the point :)

Ended in disaster!

lol oh well. Like an idiot, I pulled out the leader yarn without doing anything with that end...lol. Tard! Oh well, I know have a handle on it, I think I can do that stitch now...on to another! lol.

Practice....

What is it? I dont' know yet...maybe a bag strap? But mostly it's PRACTICE! I haven't used the long looms before, only the circular ones...and let me tell you...it's a bit challenging at first! lol. This is what I believe is the "circular" stitch, but I'm not sure on that one, you can never accept youtube as absolute fact. But the wonderful thing about knitting? If you don't like it, you can disassemble it in one swift pull!

My first needle feltie!

Woooo! I've been really sick as of late, for about 3 weeks off and on, and REALLY sick this week. On the clay board on Yahoo groups, this months challenge is something Halloweenie...so I'll likely be attempting that this month, plus I plan on keeping going with the needle felting...I think I'm in love! Sorry about the crappy lighting...our house lighting sucks! I think the stem is a little big, but it looks good flopped to the side a little. I LOVE it...wish you could see a little more detail on the leaf...I really like how it turned out. I really need better lighting...



And btw, I'm a bad person...I finished Adams' dragon before getting photos of it! But here are SOME photos before he left.

Playing with Sculpey!

Firstly, I wanted another set of horns. Don't know if these will be too heavy or not, but we'll find out I guess. Going to use a piece of yarn or string to get these puppies on.

Then, started on Adams birthday present...a baby dragon! Denny said he looked like a frog...so I added spikes (3rd pic)


Now he needs to get into the oven...don't know how well he'll bake cuz he's pretty thick, but we'll see I guess lol. Still don't know how I"m going to pain his wings....hmmm....

TYE DYE!

omg...they make tye dye duct tape now! I made a pretty sweet rose last night...I'll try to post pictures later today.

Check this out!

A contest for a Kindle! :) Mention my name, and we'll both get entries! And then on July 1st, go pick up a copy of Rachel Vincent's "Prey"! I can't wait for the book! :)

My newest project!

Pen roses! They're super cool...I love them. Anyone have any idea what I should charge for them? Of course would do custom color schemes, whatever people wanted (that they have available for colors). Can use blue, red or black ink, buyers choice. And can make them two different ways!

Capless for putting in a flower pot of rocks on your desk...or...
With the flower as a cap you can pull off!

Please, let me know what you guys think :) And spread the word! I'm not going to get rich doing this, but every little bit will help towards my truck fund!

Faith, trust & pixie dust!

Knifty Knitter!

Well, it's actually a lot of fun. Can't wait til I actually learn how to REALLY knit, but this will do for now. I'll post pictures later. I did screw up though, forgot to loop a loop, and now the top is stuck to the bottom...not sure yet how I'll remedy that, but I'll figure it out :) I'll post pictures maybe tomorrow :) My neck is super stiff from being adjusted at the chiropractor, but gotta make time for crafts in the morning! :)

My photography

A couple of these were taken with a 1.2 MP camera...but most w/ my 6.1 MP. This year I upgraded to a 10.1 MP w/ 12x optical zoom, so should have a lot of fun :) Enjoy!
