Craft something else

I want to make some distressed jeans. I saw on you tube how to take sand paper,scissors and a wire brush to a pair of jeans to get it done so I am gong to try it.

DIY

These were on my sandals but they broke no sense letting cute things go to waste so I made them into earrings. Who doesn't need a new pair of black earrings?

Natural Bun

A few people on YouTube did buns so I decided to do one too. Oh my scalp was itching directly under the bun. I forgot about that part in ponytails how they in the worst spots.

Peplum!

I saw this outfit in pinterest. So I pulled out my peplum top and as pencil as I could get it for work but I do plan on making one that is nice and tight. I got some stretchy knit fabric from value village but I digress. For my hair I did corn rows in the back and flat twist in the front now I finished doing my hair at 7:43 I just knew it was going to be dry by time I got the children to school no! My hair did not dry til 12. The corn rows were dry but not the flat twist. But I love the flat twist I can shake my head and they move. You know like I got Indian in my family. So flat twist with Bantu knots on the end from here on out. My shoes are from Payless and I love them they are so comfortable. And cute as they can be for $26. I had a 25% off coupon. Leon bought them and another pair of wedges plus jewelry and a romper for anniversary. Not bad.

My take

On this look from style pantry. These were pants to a sari but I seam ripped the legs and made it into a maxi skirt. I think it goes well with this purple button up. Camel colored shoes go with everything. And matching purse. This is my favorite purse.

My fan fiction

As a variation on the exercise, you can take someone else's published story and render passages, especially paragraphs of narrative of at least a half page in length in a point of view other than that which the author used.

I pore over the executive summary for the hundredth time since I received it two days ago, looking for some insight into the enigmatic Miss Anastasia Rose Steele.

I cannot get the damned woman out of my mind, and it’s seriously beginning to piss me off.

( E.L. James Fifty Shades – Bonus Meet Fifty Shades Part 2)

Olivia’s point of view

He is still looking at that, summary, resume; I don’t know what that was. For that bushy head, no style having girl that came in here the other day. What was her name again.. oh yeah Anastasia. He’s been looking at that paper for two days now, dang! He ain’t gon’ learn no more about her from some paper.

He can’t think of nothing else. I went into his office, to give him a message, and he did not even notice me. I had on my cutest pencil skirt, button up top and skyscraper heels, you couldn’t tell me nothing. A little irked, he took the message and said, “Thank you”, without even looking up.

Like I said

There was going to be more to come from that $3.50 bag of fabric. I finally broke down and made a romper. I cut shorts like I did before and put some fabric around my top and cut now I did cut it too short so it a bit tight but that is ok. When I sewed the top and bottom together I did not ease it around so I had a lot of fabric left over so I am currently seam ripping and this time I will pin it correctly I am going to go to work and ask the real seamstress what I need to do. Of course the baby has to get in but that is ok because he matched.

A requested ttd creations

I wore my wrap to work yesterday and my co worker was like that is cute make me one. I was like ok! She was amazed when I had it ready for her today. That is just how simple that is and I had all that fabric.
I get to work today and she said her gran daughter took it. She said she has a pair of leggings that will match perfect with it. All I could say was ok.

DIY wrap turned scarf

I made it too long at first do I cut it down to a length of a favorite cardigan. I kinda feel it is too short but compared to the first draft nah it is fine. I got the idea from pinterest if you google DIY wrap turned scarf the tutorial will pop up. Extra easy. I got the fabric from value village. You get a big bag of several fabrics for 3.50. This jacket is well worth it. There is more to come. I bought another bag of fabric when the store has an everything 50% off sale. And it does turn in a scarf really well!

I don't know

If I should be inspired or angry. You know she made this skirt. She does not give a pattern number tutorial nothing. I guess I am inspired. She also made a dress out of the same fabric. I can make a skirt like that? You don't know until you try.

Toddler size non felted slippers

Right now I just have one it is too small for my baby. He doesn't want to wear them anyway. He doesn't really care for shoes. It is a great pattern. I did it in the round after the sole. Added ten rows in st st the two garter ridges. I would love to know how to do them with the provisional cast on for no seams at all.

Dye again

I used a corner of lambs pride and dyed it in the microwave. Like I said before microwave was really easy but I did something wrong because my hands are red. The blue dye came off in my hands. I need to fix that before the dye comes off on a babies head.

Microwave dyeing

I am still at it I has a corner of white lambs pride so I gave it a go. Microwave dyeing is real easy. I have to wait for it to cool though I hate waiting. I am still waiting for my other yarn to dry. Boo.not sure why the blue is kinda purple as well does that mean it broke? I don't know. I am going to make something baby size out of this yarn.

My gradient yarn

Not bad for my first try. I used McCormick food coloring but mostly Wilton icing dye. This is before I rinsed it. I will definitely do this again. The warnings of wear gloves was just. NAND may out a stack of news paper or plastic bags. I got due on my foot therefore I had a nice trail in the kitchen. I had due everywhere and I could not figure out how. Glad I used non toxic dye my poor children. It is taking a while for all the excess dye to come out. Yes I am afraid of felting. I used. Blue and green the last section is like a deep emerald green. The plan is to make a nasty ( in my ms dineva voice) entrelac scarf. Even though I can't wear wool.

Puffing away

I have not worked on my blanket since I started puffing.

Greedy

I just learned how to do the magic cast and here I am doing two at a time. But it is working knock on wood! I need stuffing going to cut up a stuff animal the children won't even miss it.

Hexipuff

I have made three and when I finds yellow bulky cotton I will have four! I had to learn how to do the magic cast on so my first one looks a little wonky but when I came home I was on that magic cast on like nobody's business.

My first pair of shorts

I want to make a romper so I am watching a ton of you tube videos and I said self let's start with a pair of shorts. I am going to make a romper out of a t shirt for Lela or at least try then move on to a bigger version for me.

I did it my own self!

I braided my own hair well enough to show to the public. Get out of town! It is not ms. Toni perfect but man o man I am so happy. Thank you Jesus!

My dress

It was supposed to be a maxi dress but my fabric was not wide enough I think. I may have folded it incorrectly. Who knows. I received many compliments on my dress. I want to make another one out of this linen look fabric. I have the cutest brown heels and crisp white shirt that will go with it. Putting that bias tape in middle was no walk in the park but I did it. I really really want to make a romper. I don't have the slightest idea how though.

Georgia afghan

So after reading knit two I wanted to make this afghan. I am using t&q and size 15 needles. I am already thru one ball of t&q. It is only 90 sts so it is moving kinda quick. But I just finished my second set (10 rows) and I realized it is much bigger than I thought it would be. I was imagining a stroller/car seat blanket but it is turning into a lap throw. I have maybe three balls and you make the blanket as large as you want to hopefully mine will be big enough when I reach the end if my yarn.

Georgia charity afghan

I read Friday night knitting club and knit two currently reading the third book now I wish I had the audio book while I knit this afghan. Anyway I haven't knit anything in awhile glad to be knitting again.

Making it work

I did Bantu knots. I will probably put it up into a bun.

Pinterest nails

Saw this nail art. I tried it out not bad. Next time I will paint all of my nails pink instead of white. I also need a new bottle of white and a bottle o top coat.

Kanekolon crochet braids

I tried but did not get it quite right. I should have blow dried it instead of flat iron now it is too straight. So now I got to make it work for at least a week. I am going to try and redo the back.
I forgot to say that this style cost me $3.17. Three bags of .99 hair.

Twofer number two

I made this one it took me about two hours but I got it done. Now which one do I wear on monday.

My Mimi G maxi skirt

I only asked my mil if she could tell me to cut the fabric so I would have two panels and about 30 mins later I had my maxi skirt! She is the best now to take her the fabric for my tutu! Thank you thank you thank you!

Lusting

Ok people I have got to have this tutu! Why I don't know don't care. It cost $54. Therefore I have got to find a way to make it myself. My thought full skirt with tulle on top. I am going to figure it out! By George!
