Online Craft Club: New scarf! New books!Posted by Alli on December 29, 2007
As I posted earlier this week, I made a hat last week. And today I finally finished the matching scarf. I used the last of the skein, which made a shorter scarf than I wanted, but it still keeps me warm! I received two books for Christmas to help me in my crafting. One book [...]
Self Portrait Sunday: New hat!Posted by Alli on December 24, 2007
I tried to take several self portraits today, but this one was the only one I was remotely happy with. I took it at church and really wanted the stained glass window in the background to show up. But it really wasn’t meant to be. I could only capture myself looking cute. Oh well, you [...]
Self Portrait Sunday: Busy girlPosted by Alli on December 17, 2007
Here we go… another vague picture. It is me, working hard on the secret Christmas craft. I’m so happy it is finally done! And no. I’m still not telling. Um, and this really isn’t a self portrait. D took it while I was working. But it is a picture of me, so I am happy. [...]
December Photo Project: Day 16Posted by Alli on
Could this be any more vague? Another picture from my Christmas craft project. I still have to wrap them and mail a few of the tomorrow. I only made 10, but I wanted to make more. Cost and time prevented me from doing that, but after Christmas I plan on making more to give away. [...]
December Photo Project: Day 15Posted by Alli on
I got a day behind without realizing it. This is a vague picture, but I can tell you the bag and contents are from Ikea. The contents are being used in a Christmas craft project that I finished tonight. I can’t really tell you more than that because I have no idea who all reads [...]
Online Craft Club: digital craftingPosted by Alli on December 7, 2007
I can’t believe it is Friday. I mean, I knew it was Friday when I woke up, but I forgot what Friday entails… putting out the garbage, feeling extra lazy, the “thank goodness it’s” feeling, and the online craft club! I remembered the online craft club when I saw Cass’s entry in my feed reader. [...]
December Photo Project: Day 3Posted by Alli on December 4, 2007
Man, I almost didn’t get this one up. Our internet went wonky around 6 p.m. and I was about to go to bed. I really should have gone to bed. Beauty rest is so important. And I didn’t get to take a nap today (stupid phone kept ringing!) so here is my picture to post [...]
Project progressPosted by Alli on December 3, 2007
I spent a lot of time this weekend working on my crochet project. I plowed through two skeins and will probably need to use three more before having a finished product. Yesterday I went to the craft store that is closing and picked through the remnants of the left over yarn. The bins were mainly [...]
Online Craft Club: Santa gave me a present!Posted by Alli on November 30, 2007
Twice a month I go to a knitting club. I crochet while the others knit and we all get a long just fine. We met again last night (I missed the previous meeting due to being in Vegas) and it was a small group- me, BA, and a new member named Scott. He just learned [...]
Online Craft Club: Makeup bagPosted by Alli on November 19, 2007
I missed the Online Craft Club for the past two weeks, but I do have stuff to share! The problem is right now I can’t find the pictures to support the project. But I do have witnesses to my craftiness. I made a little drawstring bag out of a pretty pink silk fabric I picked [...]
