Positively Addictive!
Just wanted to show off my “Knitting Nubbin”! Santuary fans will know what a Nubbin is. I don’t really know how this little diorama of sorts. I made the mushroom first, with the lid and thought I could keep something in there. Then I made a little creature .. Which was meant to be a bunny .. But no matter how many times I did the pattern this is how it came out!? Anyway I put the punk in the ears and he just came to life .. Then pin heads for eyes .. Yes where there is a will there is a way! Lol, I’m always doing prodjects without the right things so I’m forever making things out of other things! Sometimes it works .. Others don’t.
Wow skeleton leaves really CAN be emulated!! I always wondered how crafts people had SO MANY!? How could they possibly FIND this many!? Lol now I know.
Hi guys .. Oh I have been so busy!! I’ve GOT to fit in more blogs! So much I’ve been seeing and doing I want to share. Here are 2 great tutorials. One is a decoration, it could be a dust cloth (if you just made it simple & not 2 tone like I did with the one in the photo) or a hot pot holder, brooch, hair flower and more! Brought to you by: crochet geek of course! If you haven’t come across her well this will be a treat! She has zillions of great tutorials. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AzIDzRmDtz0 The other is an oldy but a goodie & so is the tutorial. Crochet beads, or balls. As you can see in my photo im burinlding up a few. I did a large one in really chunky wool .. Its divine. Makes great juggling balls if you weight them. You can of course make jewlery & use it for amigurumi. Here is the link for the crochet bead tut: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j2tpT6aRuOk Now the beads can be done any size, depends on your hook & yarn. I did really small using crochet thread and a 1.5mm all the way to chunky yarn and a 7mm hook. They all look great. Just make sure you do 8 rows every time ;) Also bamboo 8ply is just beautiful. Comes up a treat ;)
Omg yay!! An order of some unofficial figurines my partner ordered came yesterday!!! The photo’s do not show them all .. We got around 8 to start. Then I’ll start hounding him to look out for the particular ones I’d REALLY like .. Then fill in the gaps. I’m a collector & that’s just how I do it. I get what I really want then fill in gaps. Then you are DRIVEN to fill in the gaps… Well at least I am anyways lol :p
Ok this chick has some SERIOUS shit to offer. Not only is her blog just a wondrous affair , she is GORGEOUS ( inside & out from what I can tell). I thought the seahorse necklace was the best crocheted item I’d seen then I saw these … Omfg.www.etsy.com/listing/112910521/custom-cat-hood
open for 5 orders!
I don’t re-blog much because I fear I’ll start and never stop .. But this sooooo deserves it. 2 of some of my favourite things. Found objects, especially thT of the sea and crochet .. Oh 3 actually .. And vintage :) Just amazing .. Soooo inspired!!! I have my box of dead or found things I’m going to go through and see what I can do like this. I have seals teeth, crows feet, lots of bird wings,skulls of various animals,dried massive bumble bees,a penguin wing , a mouse skeleton and various spines of things. :) Wow, that sounds terrible .. It’s been collected over a long time. I remember moving once and the movers grabbed the box marked “dead things/fragile” they were like WTF!??? Hahaha .. Then you only had to look at me who at the time had a twin blade Mohawk and make up that went for days, piercing everywhere and shoes like gaga’s. Hehe.Crochet seahorse necklace
My original chain broke, then I hemped it, then that broke, so hopefully this holds up! Seahorses have been popping up a lot for me lately and it reminded me of my pendant that was just sitting idly in a drawer awaiting remodelling. Late night inspiration woohoo!
That’s freakin awesome!
Omg .. Wow O_O .. Check out the site. You’re SURE to find a pattern you really want , or like me 20!! This girl is really good. I’ve been watching her for about a year. Just amazing to see all the dolls develope & I’m sure quite successful. I just don’t feel I have the confidence to make something like this!!? Crobots yes .. These I’m not sure. But you only have to go to this page and you want to so badly. Enjoy!!
Been making PLARN earrings!!
Was in last issue of inside crochet. They worked really well. I will do a detailed review on this pattern. Things have been a bit rough lately but I am NOT giving up on my blog!!
This was my first attempt, I think I know how I can make them look better.
They feel great on & contrast well on skin. So I see a necklace in the not to distant future. :)
Been madly looking for coloured plastic shopping bags!! Haha!
Anything that re-uses or recycles .. I’m up for ;)
Hope you all had a fabby Christmas & new year?
I had THE BEST time in Sydney (home) with Mum & Dad :) Met her darling friend Kylie & her even more darling and inspirational Brie!! She is 13 & taught me so much from the short time I met her.
As we said to Kylie “what ever you’re doing there, you’re doing a great job .. What a kid!?” .. She is remarkable.
Steiner school that’s all ill say ;)
K, well ill start uploading Christmas presents that were made, and reviews etc once again. Just been doing some house stuff , like new fence in front yard & much needed pruning. Been in the wars a bit too.
Have missed my followers, hope to see you all around soon.
Best wishes!
Enjoy!
Ps/ I’m sure this ‘melting technique’ is online .. From making things in PLARN and then melting them under baking paper & iron. Gimme a yell if want to know more ;)
Hey guys! Just had 10 restoration fillings done in one session yesterday!! Feel better now & my teeth look fab! All ready now if I feel I want to do some singing gigs! Woot!
