I'm back!


I'm back from a quite busy holiday season, which I hope will explain the lack of updates around here.

While I haven't fully completed my projects I wanted to at least upload them up to show progress.

My first project I've been working on is another pin up lady holding a heart in her hand. I'm going to make this into an accent pillow. It measures a little under a foot. I think it turned out nice. I'm excited to finish it up. Underneath the white fabric is already padded with some polyester filling just to give it more of a 3D effect. I ALSO have taken up some bead working. I actually had some extra Christmas money and invested in a small container of seed beads. I never realized how much of a hassle they would become. I suppose I need a smaller needle, because I'll spend an HOUR trying find beads that will actually thread. It's a beginners error I suppose. :)
Again, it's another incomplete project. I hope someone can tell that it's a martini glass in the making. There's plenty of holes I need to fill as well as finish up the stem of the glass. Hopefully, it won't look too crappy when I'm though. ;_; I'd hate to of wasted all that time.



My poor fingers. >_<

Anyways, happy trails, Everyone!

Time? What's that!?


I'm a frequenter of http://www.craftster.org/ It's an amazing site, and a HUGE creativity burst. People often find out such things like placing plastic beads in a metal bowl and baking them for 15 minutes equal one groovy looking lampshade. Anyways, I wanted to show this post, and how AMAZING this lady is!

There is NO WAY I would have the time, or patience to even attempt something like that! It's truely amazing and over 30,000 stitches! Talk about being cross-eyed after working on that for a day.
