I finished the quilt. and boy is it wonky its 41x56x46x56. i measured it like six time and got different numbers every time before i gave into the fact that this was not going to be perfect

im really not even sure how i got to 46 inches if everything was cut the same size my sewing could not be that off. but i just cut an even line and called it a day.

sewed on the border, the quilted it all together. i used the backing fabric as my binding or whatever its called.  I did a running stitch every two rows.and tried to keep it as close to the seams as i could.
I used up all of the batting that i had in my stash. i guess i brought a queen sized at one point so i had enough to make it and i also used some random pieces to make it fluffier.

im not sure who im going to give this to, they have to be ok with imperfection if they get anything from me .

4-21 non-craft post

first lets talk about hair.
I love mines. I love to wear my hair out. but it can't fit into hats, hoods, or ear bands over it. so during colder months it has to stay twisted/braided most of the time.

but its warm out, i dont have to work at a job with a hat right now. so im letting it be free more.

so this week i took out the twist that i had in for two weeks. I can't keep them in long my hair will loc.

so i undid the twist that took five hours

twist out, i can wear my hair like this for a day or two

so i wanted to clean my hair, really good. so i used a baking soda rinse . I find that this works so much better then normal shampoo, they just get stuck in hair clumps and dont get to the scalp with ease. but its easier to pick up a bottle in your shower, then mixing up something.

i like to double the recipe

then i deep conditioner my hair. which is just slapping alot of conditioner into my hair making sure its coated, then wrap the hair with a shower cap/plastic wrap/ plastic bag whatever you have. then i wrap a towel around that because its just messy. leave all that on for a half an hour.

then i finger comb my hair. if my hair is really tangled i will use a wide tooth comb. this can take thirty minutes to two hours, depending on how often you comb your hair.

my hair can look shorter then it really is

then to finish it all off i did an apple cider vinger rinse i added peppermint oil and olive oil. and then just get out most of the water, then gently shake your head. do not whip your hair, you will hurt your neck, willow smith is trying to break necks, lol

i love hair dye also

after about six hours you hair dry pretty hair

thanks for looking k bye

pattern Scroll Lace Scarf by Ysolda Teague

yarn Knit Picks Telemark in  aubergine

so i worked the lace while on breaks and lunches at work. and i worked on the body at home. it took about two weeks doing it that way. so i would say that you can finish this in three days . I'm not really sure what i did but i made this uneven.  I did mess up on the lace bit a lot forgot to do yarn overs and k2togs here and there. and oh how i hate picking up stitches.

Oh did that yarn bleed. i washed a item for the first time and I'm glad i did. or all my clothes would be discolored. and i read that some on washed it with out it getting felted which means i can toss it in the wash, yay.  and i blocked it out, I'm trying to block out my lacy stuff. i used dress makers pins and the floor. and poor love stepped on a pin. which means that he was walking on my scarf, but i felt bad for him first.

pattern Headband with Flower by creativeyarn

yarn- random color and sizes

hook F

I love a good flower hair thing. and the fact that these tie means that they will fit even the most fluffy hair. I made all the flowers first so the headbands i tried to match up as much as best i could.

the flowers can be moved up and down the strands of the headband. each took about a half and hour or so

(true colors)

pattern Hearts by Anna Hrachovec

yarn - random colors and thin sizes

needles- size 2

each heart took about a half an hour. i was planning on making more but i got bored with them and only made a handful. there cute and all but there is a faster way to make them and i will find it later.

18 ct fabric and black thread. i need to buy a picture frame

I tried to sew the backing to one of these and it looked so bad. i just used some tacky glue (not sure that's the name of it) and black fabric. trimmed it up and there good to go

starting the Hap blanket. using lion brand pound of love doubled and Loops & Threads Charisma  that i got in a swap. keeping track of rows in garter stitch is pretty hard and cats love to steal row counters. also that's my new foxy shazam CD just came in the mail yesterday.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i got patches to help the knitting group from waggonswest. thank you so much for them

I finished two pairs of earrings and two t-shirt necklaces today

tute for necklaces

earrings are basically the only kind i know how to make simple beads on a hoop. I like the effect of the beads. I got the beads at wal-mart , metal parts at Jo-Ann's and Micheal's .

the t-shirts were my boyfriends shirts. i used a few old and broken jewelry.

i also worked on my swap project for a few episodes/hours. I have to wait until i get paid to get more things for the swap so I'm just going to take my time with the project.

11-17

OK so I've been wanting to make my own clothes forever. I've tried and tried and tried. me and my sewing machine don't always see eye to eye. and i some how can mess up the easiest patterns. I've made a skirt and a dress they didn't fit or were lumpy somehow.

I've been longly looking at things on crafter.org . and i looked at a few patterns i wanted to give it a try this was the best skirt and easy tut i found. maybe it has something to do with the fact that i find her hot but i like this video

I made the skirt part and i didn't have enough fabric. so the skirt was like really short. I'm not sure if these two fabrics should be mixes. they might be different materials , I'm not one who knows these things. i got my fabric at Joann's.

i made it and it fits. oh the joy i felt until i realized that its way to short. i cant wear it with out tights under it. i think i might see if my little sister wants it. I'm not sure what her size or style is.

so next time I'm going to try to make it longer. i have some holiday fabric that i didn't end up using for my swap so maybe i will make a skirt with it

11- 15

so my boyfriend was supposed to be making my computer faster. he brought all these parts and messed around in there for like a couple of weeks. then he broke something in there that couldn't be fixed. so my last post was the day before he broke it. got a new laptop yesterday.

I got it from wal-mart pluged it in nothing popped up , so i let it charge, still nothing. took it back to the walmart they didnt have another one at the time. went to target they had nothing. went to staples the one that i just got at walmart was 100.00$ more for no reason. so we went to the next walmart they didnt even sell it. so i got my money back. went to the next walmart the next town over. and they had it yea. i got the replacement plan because if it doesnt work right from the store it might just break with in a month. got home and it worked perfect.

 I still think that i like a good desktop better. but i can take this from room to room all two rooms in my apartment.

im planning on going to visit my mom for her birthday 21st. then i go on to 10pm-6am shift for a month . I've always wanted to go to black friday sales but i have to work every year. i mean i dont have anyone to really buy for. im working on a holiday swap, and a few items for my family. i got a few plastic ornaments i want to make lace coverings.
