getting ready to be crafty !

[cmora77-03.livejournal.com]

EDIT : (@ 1:17am) I guess the pics aren't working but I am not sure why - so here is a link to the photo album - the pics are from my camera phone and the pics were uploaded to my SprintPCS website... if they still aren't working tomorrow - then i will try to fix it when i get home (after lunchtime) SORRY !!!!

i have been doing some shopping for craft/project supplies - and i took some pictures of everything i have... eventually it will be turned into great crafts - i want to try my hand at jewelry (necklace and matching earrings) - and a new school bag (tote bag) - and then i want to rip apart a pair of jeans that are too big - and turn them into a skirt - maybe add a panel of fabric to them -- then i ruined one of my favorite tank tops the other day... so i need to figure out what to turn it into

thanks for all of the ideas - hopefully i will have finished projects to show you sometime soon - i need to go to bed soon (i have my own business (cleaning houses) and i have a client at 9am) but after i am done working i will get some quiet time to work on stuff because my friend is out of town for the weekend - so i have the house to myself !!!


( so here are pictures - craft stuff, fabric -- AND a pic of my son and two of my puppy )

Question

[danelover18.livejournal.com]

I spent three weeks rushing through two crochet projects (two crocheted train sets for two kids). By the time I was done with the second one, I was so burned out, I was exhausted. Today is the first time in over a week that I was able to look at my crochet basket and not want to vomit at the sight of yarn. I think if I hadn't gone to JoAne's today (for some yarn), I would have not even picked up my WIP.

So I got to thinking: has anyone else here suffered from craft burn-out? Or am I just weird? :P

I deconstructed an old army jacket I "borrowed" from my dad. It looks really cool, I think, and it fits. YAY!

Thanks for looking!

images into printable posters?

[starryskies143.livejournal.com]

Hi, I haven't been to this community for a while, but I was wondering if anyone had any links to websites that can enlarge pictures into posters? Like, you'd have to print out multiple pages and glue them together to make one big poster? I've been looking around the net and found Rasterbator, but my image came out with such low quality. I also searched the memories. I'd appreciate all the help I could get.

Have fun crafting!

My husband bought a new "Bass Pod," which is some fancy thing for Bass players, but that's not the important part.  The important part is he looked all over town for a case and couldn't find one, so I made this...( Bass Pod Tote Bag ahead... )

Sorry these pics are blurry, it's always evening when I am making these, and not good for photography.
