My American Apparel knock off
Many people are making theses. So why not me once I get the hang of putting a zipper in I will put some on my website. Yeah let me keep on with my hand bag empire dream.
Maybe Super Bowl outfit
This is my take on the outfit firm pinterest. I am going to do a tank top instead of tee shirt. Wish I had a v neck tee. I may wear this but really do not to wear my heels in the mud. See my dilemma.

New do
I lucked up and got a croc flat iron for $5. So the plan was when I bought the kinky straight hair I was going to flat iron it. But I got to playing with my current wig and did a test swatch. It curled backed up when I conditioned it so to me that was a go. So there you have it. I wanted a side part anyway. Although I am not to sure how the tracks are laying I think you can see them. Love how the braids came out. Going to keep it like that and not crochet any hair on them. We will see. I was worried about my base not being braided real small. It looks ok to me. I think I need a second opinion. I will get one at work best believe.

Cowl scarf vest idk real picture heavy
I love it. when I twist it look how cute but because it is a circle look at the back.... I know a mess. It is super long but that did not bother me. I consider Camo to be a neutral. I saw one lady wear her Camo jacket with a white button up and pencil skirt I was going for that. It was too late to pull that together just went for the basic color. With it being circle it kind of gives you pockets. The last picture shows what I originally intended for this piece. I do say it came out nice.

Shellac
Saw a place doing shells for $20. It is $26 anywhere else and I never had it before thought $20 was not bad. I will put it through the paces it is supposed to last for 14 days at least I am going for February. We will see. Went to ac Moore for more yarn for both of my scarves but they had neither.
Crochet infinity scarf or cowl
It is turning out lovely. I was worried about the rippling but let that to. I am sure that happened. Because I chained with a g hook but crocheted with I hook it is a fan shape versus a circle hope it won't be odd looking. I am on row 11 going for 20 rows that should be enough. We will see.

Ok
Why all of the pics? I am tired of combing my hair. So I made a wig. I was Bout to give up and do a sew in? (Pic of my base) but another look at my in progress wig I realized I was on the right track. I was so excited I had to capture as I went along. When I made a wig before I used a old half wig this time I had no guides so I was nervous I took it down once. Had the rows too close. Now I just need to tighten up my rows put a hide a track track and I am done. For my leave out I did two rows of crochet braids. Not so easy with 8 in hair. The beauty supply store also had some kinky hair two for 10 not really sure how I would rock that. You tube it.

Machine knitting after all this time
I haven't machine knitted in a while. I want a grey scarf. Attempted three times to make one and one of those times was on the machine. Here is my fourth try second for the machine. The first machine the sponge bar is shot that is why I was having such a hard time I put up the second machine it is knitting so easy I plan to go running with this scarf. I was going to wait and get a new ball so or can be super long but not really sure I feel like it. Nah make it super long. I don't really like taking it off the machine. I have maybe two more times of taking it off the machine in me. So I am going to break for the night and start fresh tomorrow.

Long cowl
This is one of my Christmas knits a grey scarf I started doing a herringbone cowl but casting 220 was too much for me do. I am doing my own thing. Basket weave and then sewing the cast on and bind off edge together. I really like the stitch the worsted yarn and 15 needles creates. But this is going to take a really long time. My next project is to finish my very way wrap.
Nail of the day
Reading pinterest one lady said it took about 4 coats to get a pretty glitter polish to look right so I tried it. It only took three coats and I love it. When I bought it I thought I made a mistake. But now I am so glad and it only host 1.50. It is NYX mushroom glitter.
Long tail elf hat
It came out nice I did something wrong cause it looks more sorting hat ( Harry potter) than the hat in the picture. I still like it.

My light bulb hat

I just know I don't want any left because what am I going to do with a corner of malabrigo ok maybe a baby hat a co worker does does have a grandson on the way. We will see.
