The latest

I'm excited to start working with some clay to design some beads for beaded jewelry. I don't know what I will make yet but it seems like fun.

I'm also working on a mirror with Jeremy. I've put an antique, distressed look on the frame and he is going to add some tattoo style art on it, as well as create vinyl stickers for the mirrored part. He is using mirrored vinyl so it gives it a unique look.

As far as yarn goes, I'm crocheting a pair of lacy black gloves using a VERY tiny crochet hook. I have found that doing a swatch to determine gauge is very important for me as I usually end up with very large projects. I nearly always have to switch to a much smaller hook than what the pattern suggests. I'm not sure why that is but knowing it is helpful to my end results.

Some recently completed projects:

A scarf for buttheads.


Ballerina.


My crocheted purse. I am most pleased with the lining a created for this one. I had to create the pattern myself and it worked out perfectly.

We're heading out on a thrift-store expedition now. Hopefully will find some fun stuff for future projects.
