I finally found peacock feathers near me so I made myself some feather earrings !

Bear hat

 A friend of mine had posted a kind of "wish list" in pictures on her blog.  One of the pictures was of a little baby wearing a crochet bear hat.  After some trial and error, I figured it out.  I added color to the insides of the ears and crochet a lining for extra warmth, both the add-ins  are done in mohair, the general hat is worsted weight.  


And this is my prototype...

This is what I accomplished this weekend:

My designing scrapbook!

It contains all the stuff I need for sketching, clippings from this season's fashion magazines





And the best of Firemountain Catalogs from the awesome project instructions and basic hints on technique and reference tools- to my favorite designs they've showcased in the catalog.

It certainly has decluttered my workspace to get rid of all the old catalogs and magazines.  And it's awfully handy to have everything together in one place. 

Han Solo Cross Stitch Sampler

Han Solo Cross Stitch Sampler
words: Bonnie Burton

When I first spotted the Han Solo Blaster Quote Cross Stitch by craftster and fellow Star Wars fan Sherezada Kent I was inspired to find out more. After all, it's not every day you see a Star Wars sampler. I interviewed Sherezada about the cross stitch, how the idea came about and any tips to get other crafty fans started on their own Star Wars quotes in cross stitch.

What made you decide to do a Star Wars sampler?
Craftster.org was hosting a summer challenge, for quotes or sayings done in needlework. I've been really into "geek crafts" lately, especially 8-bit inspired stitching and other pop culture influenced embroidery. I felt this challenge would be the perfect chance to make my own unique, geeky stitching, so of course I thought of Star Wars! I've been a fan of the films pretty much all my life, so it was the natural place for me to start dabbling in fan-based crafting.

Why did you choose the blaster quote?
Heh. Funny enough, my husband and I have been playing the Knights of the Old Republic video game lately. We started it up while I was trying to decide on my contest entry. As the title of the game suggests, there's a strong Jedi element to the plot, and I'm much more of a "blasters and bounty hunters" type of gal. I kept kiddingly grumbling about the "stupid Jedi" in the game, and it just reminded me of Han in A New Hope, lounging in the Falcon, snarking on the Force.

Thus, the idea was born. I had an image in my head of this being something Grandma and Grandpa Solo would have on their Kashyyyk cabin wall, while they rocked in hand-whittled chairs with blaster rifles over their knees. It's pretty silly, but it's true!
