Eeyore, Eeyorette, and a quick question
Jul. 22nd, 2009 12:46 pmCrochet question: I'm making a massive granny square blanket for a coworker who just gave birth. It's three different colors and I'm wondering if anyone has a tip on how to weave in the ends. Since there are at least 2 consecutive rows of each color should I just take the end up into a row that is of the same color and weave the ends in there?

Made some new bags!
Jul. 22nd, 2009 03:04 pmI've been sewing a lot more lately! I recently got a new machine, and it makes the task much more enjoyable. My old machine had become such a pain in the butt, I forgot how much I ENJOY sewing!
I'm trying to make two new bags each week ... So far week one and two have been successful. Let's see how long I can keep this up!
Here are the four bags I made last week, and the week before:
(all sewing and screen printing is done by me)

Twilight Inspired Jewelry
Jul. 22nd, 2009 03:55 pmWow, it has been so long since I’ve posted anything here. This is all Twilight/Twilight inspired stuff. I know that’s there’s a general disdain for Twilight, but please don’t judge my work based on that. Please just look at the designs themselves. Enjoy!

Jul. 22nd, 2009 08:38 pmI need some suggestions, crafty ones!
I've looked through the memories and I know about thistothat.com but I wanted to see if you had any first hand experience you could quickly post about because I want to work with the resources I have right now.
I have two bookcases that I'd like to decoupage the sides with torn of pages from The Fountainhead. One is wooden and spray painted with a glossy white paint. And the other is a laminate type finish that I have already painted in the past. I'm going to hopefully paint over it soon and decoupage the sides as well.
I have Mod Podge and probably some E6000 glue on hand. Before I attack the bookcases with Mod Podge, I wanted to know if spray adhesive would work better? In my sloppy experience, I have just brushed MP onto a surface, stuck the paper there and then MP'd over it. Do you think this will work for my bookcases?
I could run out and get some spray adhesive if I know it'll work better but I have a full jar of Mod Podge, so...
And also, what type of "sealer" do you recommended?
Thanks!
