I made a monster

My boyfriend had surgery this morning, so I spent my evening making him a monster to snuggle with while he heals.

Dose anyone have any hobby lobby coupons that isn’t the “artist book” one that is on their site?

small top hat

I'd like to make a top hat like the one above but I can't figure out how to achieve the curve going down? Any suggestions on how to go about this would be helpful. Thanks! ♥

Chicago

[lovealwaysliz.livejournal.com]

Hey craftgrrls (and byys!) I'm going to be going to Chicago for the first time EVER this weekend (crazy, I know, I've been to New York and Toronto, but never Chicago, and I live one state over!)

Any craft venues I need to see, like I really, really need to see?  I plan on going to the cultural center and art museum for inspiration..

Sorry for another text only post, but I'm leaving in a few hours!  Thanks in advance!

Any ideas or suggestions?

A few years ago, I bought a wonderful duffel bag-style bubblegum pink purse from Target.
It was majorly on sale... About $4.
So, I've used it ever summer since because it's so handy...
Just the right size.
A great amout of perfect sized pockets.

Here are some pics of the damage...

( Last night I was helping at beef barn set-up at my county fair, and a darling little first-year 4-H'er dripped white paint on it! )

Craft book recommendations

[unseenchoices.livejournal.com]

Hi! Sorry for a text-only post but I've recently gained alot of Amazon.co.uk vouchers & want to buy some crafty books :D

I recently got The Crafter's Companion & absolutely adore it - I think I've made more from just feeling inspired by the pictures of other peoples crafts & craft areas than using the actual projects!
I also got The Crafter Culture Handbook.

I'm looking for craft/inspirational books along the same lines as those. I'd prefer books which cover more than one craft but I don't mind sewing/stitching/crocheting/paper-oriented craft books too :)

Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you!

newbie post

[mde-absinthium.livejournal.com]

Having been a silent lurker for far too long I thought it was time I posted something of my own. I made this little wristlet on my brand-spanking-new machine as a sort of trial run to make sure I could do all the basics. I used this tutorial.

dry erase board?

[detach-here.livejournal.com]

I had the idea that it would be neat to make a custom dry erase board. I wanted to create my own image in Photoshop. A blank calendar type template (so basically 31 boxes and a spot to write the current month). This all I can do on my own. My question is, what could I laminate the printout with to make it so I can use regular dry erase markers on it?

Thanks in advance. :3

[edit:] I found something that I already had that works! I have a roll of that clear paper that's used to cover textbooks. The dry erase markers I have seem to wipe off fine.

Harry Potter!

I needed something Harry related to wear to the book release!
I did make a shirt, but it was slightly crooked.
