Great Green Pants!

So even though this technically isn't my craft, I do feel the need to post this. I did have a slight hand in it....but basically I'm proud of my girl!! She made these from an old T-shirt for a friend's birthday. I just love the stencil. It was a pain to cut out the little skull, but we are keeping it and may use it again in future projects.

I am a Happy Hooker!

So I've started the Garden Scarf from the Happy Hooker. Its so easy. It calls for 14 flowers and I've done 7 so far. I'm doing these projects because I've been accepted for a swap on Craftster. I'm so excited!! Of course my neurosis will take over I'm sure when the time comes to send out the crafts. I don't even know what my partner will like, but I'm trying to get several projects done (just in case)

Meanwhile, back on the ranch......Here is my fat bottom

I'm still crocheting like mad, cuz I loooove it. I must say of all the crafts that I have tried over the years, this is my favorite. Portable, fast, doesn't really require your undivided attention (unless one likes complex crochet). Here is a fat bottomed bag from the Happy Hooker. I just need to add handles. It's made from a cotton yarn that Nat picked up for me whilst visiting Lab City (isn't she a good girl!) I really love varigated yarn too. Maybe I'll crochet a nice pink flower to add to it. I may give this away since I am signing up for a swap on Crafster!!!! Its my very first one and I am so excited about it.

Oooooo...Stencilly goodness!!

Oh I've been busy, busy, busy. Amy had been bitten by the craft bug, and needs my help reigning it in. She's been reconstructing old t-shirts into pants. We've had one big miss, but 2 hits so far. She (ie we) are making a pair for her friend's b-day and wants to stencil something on the pants. Its her (ie our) first try at stencilling and so far it is looking GREAT!! Aren't the tiny skulls cute?

D-Rings Work

Well, here it is....in all its glory!! Done...finito...complete. Yippee. I am so proud. I sewed the lining from an old T-shirt of mine, that I just happened to get bleach on. I think it worked out pretty well.

I am a Yarn Slut!!!

My stash is threatening to take over my living room. I think I will buy the book One Skein from Amazon. It may take care of my obsession. http://www.oneskein.com/top10.asp Check that out. Top 10 reasons why you'd have a huge yarn stash. They all apply to me.

On the bright side I found yet another pattern that I'd really like to try.

I am Done!!!...Well...sort of.

The Brea bag is finished. The knitting part anywy. I'm recycling an old belt of Aimee's that matches the button perfectly. I had this brilliant idea to attach the belt to the side gusset with "D" rings from the hardware store. I'm hoping it will work out. I have to get Kev involved in this. He's going to have to pry the rings open so that I can insert the belt. He uses these same rings to attach the snow plough to the truck (somehow). I'm hoping he never gets stuck for one and has to take apart my lovely new purse.
