Another Shirt

As mentioned in an earlier post one of my good friends got engaged. Naturally, we had to go out and celebrate! My crafty ass couldn't just go out though. Oh no. I had to make sure everyone knew why we were drinking our faces off! ha. So I made her a shirt. I think it was rather clever.

Sorry about the junky pictures. The next few posts will have them. Mainly because taking pics was a total after thought and I ended up doing it with my cell. 

Isn't this cute though!?!?! LOVE IT!

 

Rings

Kim over at A Girl and A Glue Gun showed us Ric Rack Rings. She linked em to another site which showed a tutorial. I, fell in love. Made one, and wore it to school. We had a party that day, and one of the parents raved and raved about it. I literally took it off my hand, and gave it to her. It made her day. So finally, I made more. Only these didnt come out as well. You could see the hot glue. I dont know how to fix it. Maybe marker that matches?

See the glue?!

3 rings, all glue. YUCK!!!

On a side note, I just had to pull out 3/4 of the baby blanket Im making bc i realized that Ive been adding a stitch each row and it was getting wider and wider. I wish I noticed before I was like 30 rows in. Booo. 

Collage

I saw these a lot around blog land and decided to make one. It was made using paint samples mod podged onto a canvas in collage form. Then using a dark varnish you paint it on, and wipe it off. This gets the colors in the crevices and gibes it an aged look.
My boyfriend works at Sherwin Williams. He easily got me paint samples.  I put this together months ago. STILLLLLL have yet to varnish it. Its on my to-do list i swear. So heres the half done collage. I will get it varnished and completed soon. I will I will I WILL!

Looks nifty though. Made an awesome background for some pics of other crafts. haha. 

Advanced Crocheting?! I think not!

Mandy on Mandipity did an entire series on how to crochet. I tried, and failed most. She did post this one though, about how to make a flower. I tried. It came out mediocre. You could tell what it was, but it was nothing to write home about. I also crocheted a basic circle. Same result. So now I had these two mediocre crocheted things with NOTHING to do with. So, I made a bracelet/corsage thingie.

I glued the circle on top of the flower, then glued a crystal button on top.

Simple elastic (used to make skirts and what not) used to make the wrist band

Whala!

St. Patricks Day

For St. Patrick's Day me and my friends go to Philly for something called the Erin Express. It's basically a big bar crawl andyou get taken from bar to bar by what else, but big yellow school buses! Sounds fun right?! Oh, it is!
My friends saw this shirt and fell in love:

Cute right? Sadly, we saw the short too late and there was no way to get it in time.

Okay, now heres a secret. I'm a little bit of a closet crafter. Aside from here, my friends know I craft, but I dont think they understand that I can do some pretty cool ish. So when I suggested I'll make it, they kinda laughed me off. Anyways, I SHOWED THEM!!

Awesome!?! Yes I know I am. The girls were stoked. Look how happy she is!

(She WILL kill me for this!)

Learning to Crochet

Everyone around blog land has been posting these tutorials about how to crochet. Well, I suck at it. I did figure out how to do the single stitch though, so I kind of went to town. I know there are mistakes so go easy on me. Im learning.

Scarf I made. I adore the colors.

Close up.

Blanket I started. Its curling though. It basically looks like a big rainbow. Anyone know how to fix this?

I am also making a baby blanket for my friend but because I already posted the paintings, I'll save the blanket and post it after she gets it. 

Cell Phone

My old cell was a piece of dookie. It was through verizon and it was just too expensive to get anything good. So i transfered to Virgin Mobile and crossed my fingers. Probably my BEST IDEA EVER. The service is amazing, the phone is awesome (got it for $80) and i get all the perks for $25 a month.

Went online bought a cover for $3.00. Naturally, I whipped out my cricut and made it my own!

Awesome new phone. Check out the awesome blood spatter background. Ahhh Dexter. LOL

Monogrammed in Glitz!!!
