First off, if this isn't allowed, don't be afraid to delete it!



I was going through some stuff while I was organizing my craft room and I found my big collection of Barbie trading cards, from when I was like 4.

And, I am looking at them now thinking they could make something really fun! I just really have no idea what I could make with them. A purse? A deco box?

I have almost 80 of them, so I have enough to do something fun.

Do you lovely girls have any ideas?

This weekend's projects

Since we're approaching the time to switch the old wardrobe over to summer stuff, I figured it was about high time to finish up the 'winter' clothing that's been sitting half done in my sewing pile.
I present:
( 'The Woods' inspired coat & velvet kaftan remodel )

That's all for now folks!

Innovative but ill-advised new product?

According to the tags on the shelf, Fred Meyer has "Loin Wool Yarn" on sale.
Y'know. In case you were wanting to knit a natural blonde scarf.

Day 10 of 365

A pair of earrings with a matching necklace. I used up the last of the glass crystal-like beads (supposed to be 4 left, but I broke 1 :P). Hope this set made good use of them.

I tried to have the necklace beaded all the way, but the end result sort of took away the focus from the pendant which is what I wanted. So I undid all the beading (what a waste of wire) and placed the pendant on a plain chain instead. Just fancied up the extender, if you can call it that.

Prom Dress!

[little-skipper.livejournal.com]

So, this year, I decided I was going to make my own prom dress. I started probably a month ago, and worked on it whenever I had the sewing feva. I finished it Thursday night, and prom was Saturday. I'm SO happy with how it turned out, and I have to share it with you all! =D

( Pictures! )

ignore the ridiculous time stamps. i got a new camera the morning of prom, and didn't realize i had it in the wrong mode. D'OH!

it endured a looong night of being stepped on, hiked up, and pulled on, with no damage at all. And no one believed me when I told them I had made it! haha

knitting woops?

[pippi-az.livejournal.com]

I LOVE circular needles but have only made flat projects on them. I want to make a hat that calls for 16" circulars and I only have 24" and larger. Can I still make the hat on the longer needles or will the stitches be too tight on the cord?

Here are two paintings I did.

First one is of a green woman, I had intended to make her more leafy and more like my greenmen but the more I worked on her the more I decided that I kind of liked the nude green lady with more of her showing.

Cool new site!

[brainysmurf.livejournal.com]

Hey all! I work as a young adult service technician at a small public library and have been redecorating the teen area recently. In my quest for ideas, I stumbled upon the site http://www.blockposters.com and decided to give it a try. Behind the cut is my result... it's kind of a crappy picture of what turned out -- sorry about that :/. The result is a poster that's over 4 feet long, 2 rows of 5 sheets of standard sized paper each -- I'm putting it above my magazine area. Anyway, it's slightly less crafty than most of what's posted here, but I thought it was way cool and Blockposter's gallery has some REALLY neat ideas.

Hello, everyone :).
I joined this community just a few days ago, and I am amazed by the variety and quality of your creations.
I only picked up my first needle about a month ago, but I am quickly getting addicted to sewing, and I'm definitely going to wander into other crafting fields as soon as the university schedule gives me a little break :)!

I'd like to share a couple of simple things I made myself, just to get hold of how the sewing machine works.. :)
