12-5

ok so a guy from work asked me to make him a hat . i said 10$ please. i was not given the 10$ but still made the hat. when i gave it to him , he didnt like it. he said that he wanted camo print. well i thought that the hat looked plenty camo. i guess not. and i didnt get my money. and he wants me to make another hat so if i do choose to make this hat i have to go out and buy the multi colored yarn to get this effect. and i will have to wait until i get paid on the 10th. then i would only be making 5$ off the sale.

pattern: be easy

yarn: caron simply soft

hook: I

I made the top two with cardstock paper and the bottom with some kinda posterboard.

Ok so this is how its made

how to

I got my crayons for two dollars in a jumbo sized ziploc and the board for .10 cents pretty cheap right

i plan on making more of these with posterboard or stronger.

some of the crayons slipped out of the paper. and i also made some with out papter at all. and they came off before melting the yellow picture you can see it.

now how would one display this art. I dont have the money to buy frames. so i will just give them to people and say figure it out.

craft fair

my friend Jessica told me that the church down the street from her is having a craft fair. I'm not to comfortable in churches.But the space is only 10$. and it will be a chance to sell some stuff and get my business cards out there.

i ordered cards from vista printing 250 card, a pen and a stamper all free, shipping 7.00$ and it will take up to 21 days to get it. I'm in no rush.

I've been working on making bangles from this tutorial . i used pop bottles and a hot glue gun.
more pictures here

I've ran out of most of my metal crafting supplies. so i can't make earrings or jewelry right now.

I'm working on making a few food items today. tomorrow maybe some items from creepy crochet.

the hairless wonder

So my cat has fleas. So far we have tried to use flea powder all over the house. and put flea medicine on the cat. an none of that worked. there are fewer fleas. but they are still here. think we might have to fog our house.

Toby was dog sitting a friends dog, a little hairless mess (my cat is the same size as the dog). because they were going to leave the dog in a bathroom for two days. and that dog did not like me at all, and loved Toby. i was yelling at Toby to wake him up and the dog was barking and jumping at me. so i went to hit Toby and i had to jump out the way so the darn thing wouldn't bite me.

so we went to work left the dog in our bedroom , so the cat wouldn't kill him. we come back home and he is sitting on our steps. so we look all around trying to figure out how he got out. he broke the screen and the blinds. Toby was so angry, until he realized that we some how gave this dog fleas. he only has hair on one spot on his head, paws, and tail. so we couldn't ask the owners to fix it after we got there dog all bit up.

finished project for this week

three squares

four headband

 

two hats

ribbon cuff

I got a blister from being burned by the hot glue gun during some of these projects. this was my first time trying to do a feather head band. i got the feathers at a thrift shop, they only had yellow and black. the flower I've had for a while . the headbands i got on clearance for .10 at Kmart . and 90% of my yarn is donated to me, or swapped during yarn swap at knitting group.

I'm hoping this granny square a day will help to get my scrape blanket finished faster. the cuff is made with a used pop bottle, covered in felt so its not all painful, then covered in ribbon. next time i will use larger ribbon, and maybe a pringles can to make it stiffer. but then i would be afraid of it falling apart if it got wet.

all most done with my swap package.I'm going to work on the last item today while watching movies.its the best way to crochet/ knit. every other craft you need to have good mood music.i was listening to emeinem while making those headband. while sewing/ cutting fabric i like a little slower music.
