In the spirit of Halloween, here is part two in my effort to create a scary short story. Check back for further installments. Part 1 Here When I first learned to drive, traveling through these fog patches was always a thrill. Especially when it was dark. These roads are usually less used, so when I was the only car on […]
In the spirit of Halloween, here is part one in my effort to create a scary short story. Check back for further installments. Whenever daylight savings time comes around, the drive to work always changes. Normally, I leave for work at 7:40 am. I have a 20 minute drive on the brand new freeway, and that puts me at work […]
I made a stereo cabinet that I got from the Habitat Resale Shop into a bar. All I did was rearrange the shelves a bit, put mirrors on each shelf, and update my stemware/liquor collection. This was a pretty cool project; I’m very happy with the results! Cocktail hour at my place tonight.
I recently made this great throw blanket as a wedding gift.
I made this brown scarf for Erin out of Bernat Galaxy in Earth. It’s a little hot for use in July, but it will keep Erin warm this winter.
For one of Rob’s birthday presents, I gave him a set of portraits of his puppies. They are all a mix of digital art & pastels. Pepper’s main mission in life is just to cuddle and be loved. Nugget loves toys; they are on his brain all the time. Toby (Tobasco is his full name) spends his day being a […]
My Mom needed a quick large painting (36″ x 48″) the other day to finish getting her condo ready for some company to visit. She was going to send me out to buy her one; instead I suggested that I just paint one for her. The results:
I’ve been knitting bath puffs lately. The economics doesn’t really make sense; at Wal-Mart you can get a bath puff for $.94, but if you knit one you have to buy the yarn and spend the time knitting it. I’ve been on a crafting hiatus for awhile, and I’m starting to remember how much fun it is to make things. […]
Here’s a look at a neckerchief that I helped design for the local boyscout troop. Anyone who guesses all the South Carolina symbolism will win a prize.
I have begun knitting flowers in my spare time. Knitting flowers comes as close to instant gratification as anything in knitting. They are quick & easy & there are NO RULES. You can use whatever kind of yarn you have laying around & make a whole bouquet. I started with Stephanie Shiman’s (of the Wool Peddler) pattern, “Plethora of Petals,” […]
The perfect hors d’oeuvre for any Champagne Thursday is Fat Cracker. I don’t know the original names for these divine little appetizers, but they really should just be called Fat Crackers. Bacon fat baked into club crackers with melted, bubbly Parmesan cheese. Yummy. I’m lucky–because my metabolism is so high, I can eat a million Fat Crackers and still not […]
It’s been entirely too long since I’ve posted something I made. It’s mainly b/c I keep forgetting to take pictures of things before I give them away. Anyway, I embroidered these onesies for my cousin’s baby-coming-in-September using some of Jenny Hart’s patterns. I can’t believe my cousin’s going to be a mom, but I know she will be an awesome, […]
This is what i sent to badtz-mari. I hope she likes it; it’s all recycled/reused materials for her enjoyment.
Thanks TayLynn for the gorgeous hand-crocheted dishclothes. I love them!
I painted/Collaged some bird & flowers squares as a gift for my sister. Each has a turqoise star or heart, but the colors don’t look so hot in the photos.
