Weekend Crafts

My productivity level sort-of waved this week. It mostly went into various planning stages. But I have some lovely completed items I can show off to you!

Now a bit before my Spring Break started, I got my first request on etsy(to which I squee'd and flailed about happily). A sweet lady asked if I could make a tiny octopus for her boyfriend. I gleefully obliged.

Tiny Octopus

It's a tiny 1.5x1.5 in.

It was hard to part with, but I made one for myself, and it somehow ended up with 9 tentacles. Heh.

Next on the list is a granny square.

I remember when I was younger, I'd watch my grandma make a huge blanket from just one granny square starter. I might sink into the 'Must make huge granny square blanket' mode once it starts to get cold again. But for now, I'll make random ones, in bright colors as a form of relaxation.


Cross-stitch is quickly becoming my new favorite thing.

I made the red heart last night when my sister was visiting. And the pink heart just today, in aprox. 40mins. I can't wait to figure more patterns to make. I've scribbled out one, and I'm itching to start stitching it up.

And last on the list, a hair bow!

I knitted this one up while visiting a friend a few days ago. I finished it on my train ride home, while sitting with a nice lady who was knitting up some socks. :3

My sister liked the bow, and remarked it looked like it should be a bow-tie. Now, us being the nerds we are giggled, and after she left, I snapped it around my neck.

I wear a bow-tie now, bow-ties are cool. -11th Doctor.

Knowing me, I might actually wear this as a bow-tie.


Now tomorrow, my blog will be 1 year old! Hurrah! Do I have any plans to have an epic blog post? Nope. But I will be plotting to re-design the blog. I have it sketched out, I just have to re-look at some photoshop tutorials, and take some photos.
I'm still planning the give-away, but it won't be for a while.

How are you all? Create anything awesome lately?

Nerdy card holders and hair bows

Hello every one!
Not a whole lot of crafting done this week. But the bit I did get done was lovely.

As I've been self printing my own business cards, I realized I really need something to put them in that can keep them all in order and safe. I walked by my little pile of felt, and saw the black felt and yellow felt just chilling out together. An awesomely nerdy idea popped into my head.

Business Card Holder

Dun nanananana Business Card Holder!
Its a wee bit wonky, but I love it all the same. Now my business cards have a nice place to live in my bag, and I have something adorable to pull them out from!

Here's the back detail. I love edging things with blanket stitch now!

I was also able to pump out a hair bow. I half knitted this as I waited for class to start, and nobody in the room noticed. I suppose it helped I introduced myself as a very crafty person on the first day.

Blue Hair Bow
I love this blue, it's nice a bright color, and it just makes me happy!

Hair Bow Trio
And here are the rest of the hair bows I've made, and (re)listed in the shop.
Hair Bows!
