Pretty Dress

So I was surfing around on the craft gawker website and came across a dress. Check is out -> http://talk2thetrees.blogspot.com/2010/07/how-to-make-easy-high-waisted-dress-for.html
I can't make it into a link from my phone but you know how to copy and paste I'm sure.....
Anyway I purchased some material and a tank top and used an extra wrap around of the material for more pleats and this is what I got.



The picture is a little dark because it was about 10:30 last night but you get the idea.

I am also working on some ufo's since I am the queen of this and have gotten a lot more of the rainbow star blanket done, I'll upload some pics of that when I take then tomorrow. Also I make a cupcake stand and once I make some delicious cupcakes for it I will take pictures of that as well.

Craft break!

So it's really hot out today so we decided to cool off by grabbing a kool-aid jammer, which resulted in recycling the pouches into a funky new wallet. It was super easy to make, and my first time sewing a zipper on anything. It turned out really nice. Next week I am going to get some different flavors and make a bag to take around for the summer. It's going to be awesome!

Origami Craze!

So while I was sick last week I started watching Prison Break and fell in love with it, and one of the characters in the show makes origami cranes for notes so I decided that would be fun to do. So 20 paper cranes later I got a few people at work hooked on origami now. So I decided to challenge myself yesterday with some origami I have not attempted before and here is the outcome.

After much delay....

So I ended up with a really bad head cold and wasn't able to get any done for a few days but I am finally going to be starting the purple band now! XD
I know that I am going to run out of yarn before this is finished because the website I ordered from did not have the size of the skeins listed so they were smaller than I had anticipated so I am going to wait until I run out before I order more because I am not yet sure what color I am going to run out on yet and I do not have the room right now for any extra yarn until I get settled in a new place. I am hoping to know where I will run out by Thursday or Friday so I can get the order in asap so there isn't too much of a delay. At least I have the other blanket that I was working to to keep me busy until then.
This is a picture of what I have done so far of the blanket.

More on the rainbow star blanket

I have completed the first of the blue section. Just moved on to the black stripe then to the other shade of blue. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be starting my favorite color! Purple!! Tomorrow should be nice, a lazy Sunday, some Prison Break and purple yarn. Glad to be off for a weekend for once.

Another Blanket

So I tend to get bored easily and always have a few projects on the go at the same time so...... here is the beginning of another blanket.

Stuff from the past....

So a few months ago I decided that I wanted to crochet an owl but couldn't find and cute simple patterns that I liked so I decided to write my own. Here are a few pictures of the outcome...







A whole family!
