Works in Progress

Earlier in the year I told myself I'd make myself lovely pieces of clothing, and blog about it. I've been slowly doing the making part, but slacking with the blogging. So I figured showing some of what I'm working on would help.I'm sort of stuck on which fabric I should use for the blouse, though…

So, what were you up to?

Sometimes we have such an interesting week, we want to share it with everyone! That's what I'll be doing today.My past week was fun, crafty, and educational.On the 20th, I went with my mother to the Birch Aquarium at UCSD. This will get it's own post soon enough, so I'll leave you with this clown…

Busy Weekend

I'm trying to get as many things done while I still have ample free time. Don't want to have that overworked feeling so early on in the semester!!A friend asked me to make her a panda hat the other day, and this is how far I've gotten. I need to sew on the ears, and…

Bright Colors

I've only just realized I haven't shared any Works in Progress with you all in a good while. Oops! I think I get into the rush of 'hurry and finish it, so someone can smile' I just don't think about taking time to show how everything goes together.Well, I decided to do that today.I'm making…

More cards, and dolly hats.

Hello everyone!A couple of days ago, I got one of those etsy tips emails, and something compelled me to check it out. I skimmed to the bottom, and saw 'The first x number of esty shop owners get free cards from Moo' I could resist. I got 50 cards, for the price of shipping. I…

Little bits of happy

School is taking over everything, you guys!But I'm doing good with small things to keep me happy, while I work on bigger projects.For the longest time I wanted to cross-stitch, yet was intimidated by it. I mean, I can embroider fairly well, but cross-stitch seemed like a totally new territory. After hearing a bit of…

Staring at pretty things.

On the 13th, I visited near-by Balboa Park to do some walking, and observing lovely things.I did a good bit of walking, and stopped in a small garden, where it was obvious they were waiting till spring has sprung to pull out the larger flowers.One of the reasons I adore Balboa Park so much, the…

Shop Update

I listed three new octopod in the shop earlier today.A sunny colored one (who to me, looks a bit sad. -shrug- maybe I lowered his eye placement some.)The green one from last month.A fabulous red one.And an Octo-Stack... or Rasta Octpodes xDHopefully if the sunlight permits, and I'm free from back pain, I'll be sewing…

Bears, stars and purses

Today is a nice rainy day. Rainy days are perfect for crafting. Or in my case, waiting for the sun to peak through for 5 mins, and take pictures! xD;I've made a few cute things as of late, such as;This happy bear.I made my sister a 'polar bear' as a just because gift. Welll, more…
