Bead Weaving Finish?

[kjc007.livejournal.com]

Hello folks!

I just wove my first complete and non-sucky bracelet on my new bead loom.

BUT, I'm not sure how to finish it off. I need some sort of closure - a button? Something? I haven't worked with thread before (only beading wires of various sorts), so I'm at a bit of a loss.

And, I also wanted to show off my work.

So, any ideas?

N00B crocheter, needs experienced pattern reader's help!

[midorable.livejournal.com]

Hi,

I'm still relatively new to crochet, haven't properly learned how to read pattern. I'm trying to do Hello Kitty head in 2D. But I got stuck on her ears.

Can someone help?



I got to ~
Start: 4 ch
R1: 1 ch, 10 sc,
R2: 1 ch, (4 sc, 2sc on the end) X2
R3: 1 ch, (4 sc, 2sc increase, 1sc, 2 sc increase) X2
R4: 1 ch, (4 sc, 2sc inc, 2 sc inc, 1sc, 2sc in, 2 sc inc) X2
R5: 1 sc, (5 sc, [2sc inc, 1 sc] x4) X 2
Now I'm stuck on the ears....

Am I supposed to do them separately and sew them on? Which is not what the pictures of the finished products looks like... what am I missing?

FO and a question

The question isn't allowed. :)

The FO:

Pattern: $5 in Paris, by Anna Peck
Yarn: Lionbrand CottonEase in Violet (it's actually blue)
Mods: I put reverse st st underneath the arms to make sure that it would hug me. Lazy way of shaping, but it worked! I should have cast on less stitches, since as the day goes on, the sweater becomes more and more off the shoulder.

switchplate

For Father's Day, I decided to add to my dad's office decor.
He's a big Pacer's fan and the entire office is painted and decked out... but his switchplate is boring...

so I played around with it.

I wanted to find a wooden one I could paint with stripes in blue and yellow, add some wooden half-circles and other stuff, but could NOT find ANYTHING I wanted, so I settled for a brushed metal plate (sorry the pic is horrible, it doesn't photograph well at ALL) and some scrapbooking supplies.



Hopefully he'll like it.

Amy Winehouse Wig Emergency.

[yaymyson.livejournal.com]

This Sunday i am hosting a Junkie Tea Party (a [you might've guessed] tea party to which everyone arrives dressed as his or her fav famous junkie) and i am ready and rearing with my Amy Winehouse ensemble. There is a problem, though: the wig i ordered won't arrive on time. Problem, yikes!
So, my dearest crafty friends, How can i make the wig myself? Wires and felt? Unicorn giggles?
I am open to any and all suggestions, so please, ladies and gents! Help!
( For reference )

Thanks much for your time.

Here's a journal page I did Saturday night. I started out feeling lonely because I couldn't find anything to do/anyone to do it with--but once I started working in my journal, in my art house, I was happy.
