|---|---|---|---|
|
Materials: Two pre-made canvases, acrylic paint, oil pastels, and a straw. Notes: These were made in about an hour for my Halloween party. I'm not quite happy with the tree. It needs to be bigger. I think I'll go back to it later.   | |||

| Oct. 21st, 2009 @ 06:30 pm Sock Baggies | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Pattern: Based on this Drawstring bag tutorial. Materials: Cotton Fabric mostly Halloween fabric from some mixed bundles I bought. Drawstrings are the handles off the bags my LYS uses, and some slider fobs and heavy duty snaps that I got from work. Notes: I made the black one with eyes on it first, and it worked well, but the drawstring was too light, and I really needed some way to hang it off my belt loops or bags. I tried tying the drawstring on, but that was kinda flimsy so I added on the loop with a snap. I also changed the size of the bags from the tutorial. The orange bat one is big enough for some lace projects. I don't know if I like the square shaped bottoms to these bags as it was rather difficult to sew the half inch seam allowance without the fabric bunching at some point. I much prefer round bags even though there is a lot more pining involved. I love how the drawstring section is fully lined though.  ( Click for a close up of the bat bag ) | |||

Poll #1473026 Glasses for Lee This poll is closed. Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: Friends, participants: 11 Lee has needed some new glasses, and this time instead of picking out a pair of frames that he liked, he got the pair of frames that I like (I mean really, I'm the one that has to look at him all the time). While Lee is content with these glasses he still thinks he looks better in his old pair of frames.

|---|---|---|---|
|
Pattern: Design based on this picture Materials: Patons Classic Merino Wool (100% Wool) in Deep Olive Notes: I think it turned out a little long in the back. If I were to make this again I would shorten the front and back pieces and sew the brim down all the way around instead of just at the seams. It is very warm and snuggly though. I think I'll have to make one for myself.  ( Click for more pictures ) | |||
| Oct. 3rd, 2009 @ 08:12 pm Halloween Wreath | |||
|---|---|---|---|
|
Materials: 18" Grapevine Wreath, six black roses, black spray paint, two fake black birds, and black wire. Notes: Dude I have a front door that the neighbors don't deface. That absolutely necessitates a goth wreath. The brown spot at the top is where the hanger took off the black paint. I'll touch it up before putting it away for the season.

|---|---|---|---|
| I got my camera back yesterday. Yay expect pictures soon. I really wish I had tried to contact Canon sooner. I regret only being able to take photos of Fangor on my phone. Does anyone know how to get those kinds of photos off a cell phone without the quality being craptastic. I know that when I send photos to Lee they always look pixelated on his end. | |||

|---|---|---|---|
|
Pattern: Modified Keith's Bottle Cap Trivet Materials: Size 10 crochet cotton (100% Cotton) in red and black Notes: I just could not do the decreases according to this pattern, also I learned that triple crochets in tiny yarn and I do not mix. I love the results though, and it works well. I think I'd like another one in a different color scheme. Now I have to go make Lee drink some more Sunkist floats.  | |||

|---|---|---|---|
|
I went to the bookstore on Tuesday night, and saw that Dead and Gone had come out. I didn't even think about it. It was just a snatch, gotta have it moment. Books don't count towards budgets right? Anyway since I was already buying a book I checked to see if I could order one that I've been needing to read, for research purposes of course. I go to the information desk and ask for Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? The clerks said "No way", and made me ask again. Apparently he was familiar with the book, and hadn't thought about it in years until a conversation he just had earlier in his shift that day. Weird, but notable. I enjoyed both the books. Yes mountainwitch, I will hand over the Sookie book the next time I see you. | |||

Pattern: Austrian Diamond Socks from Knitter's Magazine 84 Fall 2006 Materials: Knitpicks Essential (75% Superwash Wool, 25% Nylon) in Gulfstream Notes: I can't remember where I first saw these socks, but I probably came across while researching twisted stitches. I had to have the pattern, and eventually found the magazine on ebay. This is the second pair of top down socks that I've done, and I really like the heel on this one.
