Long shorts!

[dizzy-misslizzy.livejournal.com]

I made some shorts. Well, they're long shorts. Or you could call them short pants. I personally prefer short pants. ANYWAY, I don't like to wear short shorts, so I've got 4 pairs of this-length pants now, and I love 'em! And when I got a giant remnant of this fabric, I knew just what to do!

( See what on earth I'm talking about )

What do y'all think? Anything you would have done differently and whatnot? Suggestions are not only welcome, but encouraged. :)

I hope this counts as a "craft" - they were fun to make and off the top of my head.

hey lovelies! so im working on a little quicky project for the annual aids walk in san francisco next month.. quite frankly, i really dont have much time to put my 100% into it.... im designing my tshirt for the team im in (we're each designing our own tshirts in the front but will have the same team design in the back)... soo im since im kind of low on tools and resource (broke college kid), i was wondering if i could use arcylic paint  which i already have to use on the tshirt. i heard arcylic is ok to use on fabric and that it becomes permanent... but im not really sure. so if anyone knows, please do tell =). im not worried about if it will get messed up in the wash.. its just gonna be a one time wear thing. (although if i end up using arcylic, i hope i dont spill water on my self!)

Coconuts

[chainsofgold.livejournal.com]

I have a drawer full of coconut shells, split sideways and I don't know what to do with them. They're oval and don't really do anything except lie there. I've tried using them as small bowls but they rattle around too much. Anyone have any suggestions before I throw them out? I think I have about 15 half coconuts.

How many coconut shells does a person need? Only 2 really, that's more than enough to pretend horse!

i miss wool

[atomictangerine.livejournal.com]

Well, it's summer, and thus I've felt the need to figure out how to bring myself to use fibers other than wool. Also, last week I learned how to crochet; so far it's fantastic, and I can definitely see myself using it a ton for making things in the round.

I found the most amazing yarn ever (Louisa Harding's "flotsam"). It reminded me of the ocean, so I made a long, flowy scarf. I realize this scarf is quite unimpressive, but I just wanted to show you guys this yarn:


( and then I crocheted a 1920s-inspired hat... )

For those members with a Tecre button maker:

I think I tried to use something that was too thick, and now the dies are stuck and I can't get them apart :(

This has happened once before, but I can't remember how I got them apart. If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. I will post pictures of the button, if I can ever get them apart. I've tried prying them apart, and hitting the bottom of the die with a hammer, but all I've managed thus far is denting the dies. Eeek!

Thank you in advance!

My crocheted wedding cake

[mara295.livejournal.com]

(cross-posted to a few places)

Good day all! First I want to say that it's a pleasure looking at all your wonderful crafts. There are some very talented and creative people in this community, thank you for sharing it all!

And now on to the craftiness!

I recently became engaged, and immediately dove into the wedding plans. As I've always loved wedding stuff, and I'm fairly crafty, I decided to do as much of the wedding stuff as I can myself. This will include my invitations, favours, decorations and...my cake! I have a fair understanding of how expensive they can be, and the wedding is going to be expensive enough without having to shell out hundreds of dollars on a cake. SO! I took my crochet hook in-hand and got to work. This will be used for the official pictures, and it'll make a nice decoration at the reception. I'm planning on serving a just-as-tasty but less expensive slab cake to my guests.

( So get on with the pictures already! )
