 It's may daughter's 6th birthday tomorrow, so I made her a pony for her Cabbage Patch Kid to ride.  There is a saddle, bridle and saddle blanket to go on yet, but I'm not quite done with it yet.  


EDIT:  Here is the saddle and blanket.

Haunted Tree Stump or Pin Beast? ;] You decide!

I like the color scheme, although I'm not used to using 'natural' browns + greens together. I would say that it might be "growing on me" -- but that would be an unforgivable pun....

a new knitter's first FO!

[laurasue.livejournal.com]

While hospitalized over the holidays, when family and friends asked what they could bring me, on a completely random whim I told everyone I wanted to learn how to knit (I'm 23, I've never had any experience with knitting, crocheting, or even the simplest of sewing - my mom was never into this kind of thing to teach me). So after getting tons of books, yarn, and needles, I took a few weeks to make different swatches and learn different patterns, and today completed my first FO.

My mom refuses to wear a hat, but asked if I could make earwarmers instead. She picked out the yarn, and said she wanted a really wide headband.

Hey grrls! I havent posted here in what seems like my whole life. I've been up to a lot of stuff though. Unfortunately, I only have pictures of a few things right now. Want to see?


( Craftiness Ahoy! )

The second half of my post is a question for all you kids out there (I hope this is allowed - it seems like it goes along with this community's vibe). I'm taking an art outreach class this semester, and my professor wants us to do something to get involved with the community. Anyway, I was thinking about doing a guerilla art project around the city - just involving taking a simple message (like "Be Yourself" or something) and spreading it all over - whether through posters, messages left on busses, messages in the sand, even messages in bottles tossed in the ocean!

Then I got to thinking, wouldn't it be fun if, rather than me just doing this alone, some people from other places got involved too?

So I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in participating in a little project like that with me. All you'd have to do is print out a graphic or something (I havent worked out that part yet), put it somewhere in your community, and take a picture!

I'm not even sure if I'm going to be doing this, I was just curious to see if anyone would be even interested in the first place, before I went and proposed it to my professor.

Anywho, thanks for looking/reading this ultra-long entry, and I just want to say that I'm a huge fan of everyone's work! Keep on crafting, grrls!

xposted to a few places, sorry if it ...messes you up or something!

First Post!

I'll be 17 in a few days and I've been sewing for a while now. I've been studying art for the majority of my life and crafting has become a recent obsession of mine. 

( here are some things I've been working on lately... (lots of pictures!) )

I've been meaning to ask you crafty ladies and lads something for a while. I have about 100 plastic ziplock bags that were used to hold plant roots (science project, long story). I don't want to throw them away, as that's terribly wasteful, but I can't re-use them to hold anything I don't want to get kind of dirty. Do you know anything crafty or interesting for which they could be used? Thanks!

Just so it's not a text-only post:

I managed to find some spare felt kicking around my parents house while trying to stave off boredom before heading back to campus. Cue... the red and pink elephant! There wasn't enough of either color to do him entirely monochromatic, but I think I like him more this way:)
