craftgrrl | i've been dreaming of some tired tranquil place where the weather won't get trapped inside my bones

hey lovelies. haven't posted in a long time. actually... maybe ever? but i'm home sick and bored so here i am.

this is a bracelet i made for my mom for christmas:

(that's the best picture i could get of it. :/ sorry.)
i'm thinking of getting some more colorful beads and making some for my friends and other relatives, too.

i'm making scrapbooks for my best friends at school for christmas. i'm just starting but i guess they're turning out alright. i'm gonna get some stickers and make some cute little designs to put around the pictures.

and this is my next project, though it will probably have to wait until after the holidays. i think they look cute though.

... and soon i'm learning how to knit and crochet! yay!

a few questions:
- does anyone know where i can buy head pins and eye pins in bulk?
- any ideas on something i can make for my boyfriend's mom? she's not very girly so i can't really do jewelry or a scarf or anything like that.
- any ideas on something i can make for my boyfriend that would be kind of like a scrapbook, but a little more... manly? heh... that sounds weird but i just feel like boys aren't really into the whole scrapbook thing. my idea is... i have a bunch of things from the first day we met, even pictures and stuff, and then i want to kind of... track our relationship, i guess? just not in scrapbook form. maybe on a box, or something? i don't know. can you think of anything?

ok. that's all, folks.
