Something thats been bothering me...

I read this blog a few days ago that was about art, but there was this random thing about how her niece got attacked by a shark last year. A SHARK. Just another reason to avoid the ocean...

I'm pretty terrified by sharks, but then this happened yesterday..


Yes, I got into a fight with a toy shark and penguin at a toy store.

No my question is, why is everthing cuter and less menacing in stuffed animal form?


And cartoon form?


Is that not adorable?

and folded star earrings.


I just love her stuff!

Some Upcoming Projects...

I have a few projects planned and hopefully over the next few weeks I'll make a few of them and have some tutorials!

This clutch is just so cute! I'm thinking I'll use black fabric paint to make the mustaches and then sew up a purse.


I think this would make a really cute accessory, but I won't pay eight dollars for it when I can make it myself. It looks like it shouldn't even take that long...


I've seen shrike dink rings before but I just learned how to make them. I love this design and unicorns, so maybe I can make my own!


This one isn't made out of shrike dink, but I figure if I make the diamond part and a separate band I could just melt them together.


I'm loving this look of the fur hood and a different color fur mittens (faux of corse), and I've worked with fur a little in the past. It is a little late in winter to be making this kind of clothes though... Ah well, I'll have it for next year.


Hopefully I'll be back soon with some cool results!

New Design...

I decided it was time to revamp the layout of the blog, so now it has a purple-grey color scheme and a nice image as the header. Everything is still in the same place and none of the links have changed. Hope you like it!

Crochet Sea Creatures

I found these at this website and I though they were cool.

You can buy them, or probably try and make you're own
