Lazy Friday

Today was a bit of a lazy day for me. I planned to sew, but my back hurt from yesterday, and I didn't feel like sewing alone today. =< So, I visited my mum, and made another pin =3


Hehe, it's a knitting pin! I was wayy too lazy to fill in the entire circle with green, but I like how it turned out =3


Next on the pin list is a Tea pin =3 After that... well I have to buy more pin backings ^^; But I scribbled out some ideas.

In the knitting world, I'm still working on my little secret amigurumi, but didn't take pictures of it. I'm also working on another 'Bloom Couture Knit Headband' in this lovely light blue yarn. I have another ball of it, and I have no idea what to make with it!


I'm thinking a hat maybe? Maybe another Star Crossed Slouchy Beret... -shrugs-

When taking these photos (in my room, as it's now dark outside, and the light in the living room is crap) I decided to get a few self-portraits of myself in one of my pink headbows. Oh yay, you finally get to see the grump-face behind this blog.


...What, you want me to look at the camera? Don't ya know all the cool kids don't look at cameras?!
Ok. Okay, FINE!


Heh. :3 Finally found my Sonic Screwdriver Pen! Now to get the 11th Doctors @.@;

Take Care, and happy crafting.

Little bit of sewing

Yesterday I did a bit of not cosplay sewing. I made myself a pincushion, as I keep losing mine >_>. A cute little embroidered felt badge, and a zippered pouch.


My little pincushion. I made a doll dress with this material a while ago, and I was lucky to have some left over. It's so cute and useful, and will live in my sewing box from now on.


Now as someone who loves writing letters and having penpals, I figured I should make myself a little badge stating so. I should get back to replying to a few letters also >_>
My grandma taught me to embroider when I was about 6 or so. She taught me backstitch, and a few other stitches, but I never really did much with it. Now I'm reteaching myself, and will probably embroider lots of my things.


Ahhh, so many mistakes. But I love it all the same. =)



My zippered pouch. I found a few tutorials on how to make them, so I threw together a few, grabbed some scrap fabric, and I am proud of my result.


The lining is a simple orange, and the zipper is an old one that I've had since I started sewing, so I was glad to finally be able to give it a home on something.

I want to make more pouches, but with adorable Japanese fabric. I have to keep myself off etsy every day so I don't get the urge to buy some. >__> Maybe when I get money! xD

And dear readers, I'll try to make this little blog a bit more interesting, at some point this summer.

Tools of the trade+ a WIP

So as I had a late start to my day, I've decided to share with you, my knitting bag(one of...a few) and roll. (because I clearly have nothing better to do)


The bag was a regular canvas bag from Walmart, that I got bored, and painted one day at 2am. Yes, I let my geek card show all the time xD;


My knitting roll. Quite a fun sew, and good fabric stash buster!


And open, displaying my small collection of knitting needles and crochet hooks. (I have two other circular needles, but they're in use, atm. And my other bamboo straights were hiding in a pair of boots when this photo was taken >_> )


And my WIP. I'm slowly scribbling a pattern together for a plush -insert secret here- It doesn't look like much now, but if I keep at it, and keep good notes, then hopefully it'll turn out awesome!


Also, hello watermarks! I water mark things on my dollsite and dA, so why not here?
And don't mind the layout changes. I'm seeing how long it'll take before I get sick of certain ones.

Take care, and happy knitting.
