Happy Valentine’s
Knitted these for my valentines. Pretty little hearts!
Rag Bag Redux
I made this purse for my sister from Georgia and her blog, “On My Mind.” (Found thanks to pretendingsanity.com)
Secret Snowflake, Part 2
I saw that my secret snowflake has recieved & opened her package, so I am posting the pics of what I sent her. I had a lot of fun putting together this package, but I didn’t get to craft as much as I had hoped to b/c of my exam. I sent her: Loteria Cards, Pin-up Girl Books & Buttons, […]
Secret Snowflake, Part 1
I was having an awful day yesterday; I got some news that made me sad. However, when I arrived home, I had the most awesome secret snowflake package waiting on me. This is the best package I have ever received. I’m still glowing; it has made my week. And my secret snowflake is the most awesome one in the entire […]
Pecan Pilaf
We have another great recipe called Pecan Pilaf. My mom made this for Thanksgiving; it tastes very, very yummy.
Cheesy Pineapple Casserole
Now that the post-Thanksgiving Rush has settled down, and I’m looking at the home stretch for my exam studying (12/5 & 12/6), It’s time to post some new recipes.
The “Unbiased” Bag
I’m currently working on this bag from Knitty: It’s called “Unbiased”. The woman who made the pattern owns The Wool Peddler, an online store where I bought the beautiful, recycled sari silk. AND one day, I shall finish this bag.
Shara’s Neckwarmer
It’s about time to post this neck warmer I made. It’s a great pattern by Shara at Craftster (Pattern Link Here.) I worked on this lovely piece at the meeting of crafty/stitchin’ ladies here in Myrtle Beach that happens every other Sunday evening.
Recent Goodies
I have been neglecting to post several crafted presents I received in the mail lately. AmandaJ made me this lovely stuff to complement my fruit swap stuff. It’s so cool; I love it! Everything she makes is gorgeous & thoughtful. Alexia from Wait Come Back made me some lovely art pieces in thanks for a t-shirt I sent her. She […]
Dollar Store Swap
Here’s a picture of the stuff I’m mailing out today for my dollar store swap. For this swap, participants bought 10 things from the local dollar store to mail to their swappee. In actuality, nothing was handcrafted, but I think it still counts as “craftiness” because I’m mailing it to a crafty gal.
I’m an angel..haha
For the final mailout (4th) of my Angel’s & Mortals Swap, I tried to make my mortal a few cool items. I sent her a mermaid doll, a chocolate/baking book, chocolate coffee, some sampler goodies, homemade candy bar brownies & recipe, a decoupaged box, and some collages I made with a chin colle’d digital print & ribbon. Close up of […]
Hot, Hot, Hot!
I thought I’d share a few of the handmade things I sent to AmandaJ for the August Swap of the Month–Favorite Fruit. AmandaJ’s favorite fruit was the Hot Pepper. I had so much fun concocting stuff for this swap; I love hot peppers too!
Favorite Thing Swap
I recieved an awesome favorite thing swap from jettesette; she says it was her first, and she did a great job! I chose landscapes as my favorite thing and she sent me a cool mix cd, bubbles, marble magnets, decoupaged box of landscapes, beautiful handmade landscape purse (I love it so much), and some cool landscape felt coasters.
Flower Triptych
This weekend, I made some flower pictures for a swap I’m sending out today. I’m not telling who it’s for; I hope she enjoys it!
Embroidered Landscape
This weekend, I was finally able to finish an embroidery I’ve been working on forever! Over a year ago, I bought a barely started cottage embroidery scene at the bi-monthly Lutheran Sale at the church near my house. I was thinking about starting a new embroidery that I bought at another flea market, and then realized the cottage was still […]
