So my goal for 2008 was to complete 50 craft projects, and I'm very happy to say that I did. Instead of spamming you with all 50 projects here, I'll post one part. The rest are posted in my journal if anyone is interested.

There are a lot of pictures under here, so be warned.


#41 - Christmas Sheep Pin




Google, google.

Based on my felt sheep ornament, only this one is wearing a Santa hat. I wore this as a pin on my work uniform from Dec 1-24 this year. It seemed to go down well with the boss, coworkers and customers.

#42 - Wrist Bag 2





I made this bag for Sister-in-law for Christmas. Checkered fruit outside, with ladybug lining.

#43 - Neb's Ball



Neb expressed some sadness at not having anything to throw at me to get my attention, as I'd moved the stuffed birds I'd made. He asked for a stuffed ninja star. I made him a ball, as I wanted to test a pattern for a ball I'd found. It came out very flat. He likes it.

#44 - Sister's Quilt








Showing backing and tag.


Close up of binding. I made the binding myself too! I was proud.













I made this quilt for Sister for Christmas. The theme is "these are a few of my favourite things" and I included prints and applique pictures of things Lisa likes, including: ducks, cats, shopping, food, running etc. I am so so happy with how this came out. Lisa loved it too! Everyone we showed seemed really impressed too. 150cm square.

#45 - Monster Rug 2


'Augh, my eyes,' says Neb.





HURR DURRRRRR



I has a box.

A monster rug made for Brother-in-law for Christmas. It's BRIGHT pink. Like, so bright, that sometimes, when it catches the sunlight, I feel like it goes out of the gammut range of my eyesight. It's fantastic. Its belly is black. I made a few improvements from my original rug, including felt eyes instead of crocheted eyes, and tying the mouth in so it doesn't have mouth prolapses all the time. Sorry, Brother-in-law, for making it pink, but it makes me laugh :)

#46 - Cookbook

Click here for cookbook pdf.

A Brother-in-law-proof cookbook. Includes 5 recipes the me and Ben cook fairly often that should be fairly easy and cheap to make. I also included all the non-perishable ingredients you need to make them all. I had fun writing this. I hope he actually ends up making some food from it!

#47 - Ipod Case






1 cupcake + 1 cupcake = 2 cupcakes.

Another Christmas present for Sister. A little case for her ipod, with a glass cupcake made by someone who wasn't me. I needed something to put the cupcake on, and found this matching fabric.

#48 - Love Birds Hanger






A hanging thing I made for Brother and Sister-in-law for Christmas.

#49 - Hard Drive Clock



A hard drive that we ripped apart to turn into a clock. Based on some I found on etsy, but they didn't ship here, so I made my own. Followed this tutorial. The clock movement was much much harder to find than I imagined. I eventually found it at Jaycar. Thanks, Jaycar!
I made this for Brother for Christmas. He seemed to like it, although, he apparently can't read analogue clocks... -_-

#50 - Round Tuit





A round tuit that I made for Dad out of a coaster. I put this with a gift card for Bunnings. Now maybe he will be able to get some jobs done around the house! :)
