Ruffle Scarf Collection

Hey all! After a few days of working of my scarves, I've finally finished them all! I've waited until I finished them all before blogging about it, even though I've been posting them one by one to my Deviantart. If anyone follows me on my Deviantart, you've probably already seen these, but I'm going to post them in my blog anyway!

In order they are: Cheetah, Red Lava, Sea Storm, Vineyard and White Sand. I have also taken some picture of them together on hangers.

I just absolutely love how they look, and they're so soft. I had so much fun making these!

Anyway, this is the picture that I'll be posting on my Deviantart as a "for sale" post!

Mario Themed Bookends and Ruffle Scarfs!

Hey there. So, I finished my bookend yesterday, but I had such a busy day that I didn't really feel like sitting down and blogging.

Anyway, here is the finished masterpiece!

Pretty neat, yeah? If you couldn't tell, I like Harry Potter. A lot. I spent all of my teenhood utterly obsessed with it. But, that is probably a story for another time.

Anyway, last night, I did manage to take a picture of one of my new scarves in a cool pose!

I just think Polar looks so cute in it. I took this rather late in the evening, but there was still enough light out for the picture to turn out good. I did post this to my Deviantart last night, but that's about it.

And I did manage to get this finished.

Now to just work on a nice picture for it. And to make the last two in the collection!! Slow and steady, I suppose.

Anyway, that's all I really have to post for now.

Until next time!

Slow and Steady

Hey all! I know, I've been inactive this last week. But, that's because we finally moved! I love our new place, but we're still getting settled. In the mean time, I have been working on my plastic canvas project. And I've been taking lots of pictures of the process. But first, a picture of the near complete one!

I really love how it's turning out so far! Though, it has been a long process!!

I had to make a total of 34 of these little guys. I really like the pattern I decided to use, it goes well with the rest of it.

This was a tricky little bigger to work with, especially sewing it on, but I managed successfully! And I only had to make two, which was good.

In hindsight, making all the stairs as one and then connecting them to the side panel was a baaad idea. And I learned from my mistake.

It was not fun trying to see the other side panel on to this, as it liked to move as though it were an accordion! You can imagine the frustration of this. Like I said, it was a bad idea.

And here we are with the back panel on, but it a still not complete! I didn't have any more canvas left at this point, so I started on the second set of stairs, which I tackled in a completely different way!!

I decided it would be a smarter idea to attach the two side panels to the stairs at the same time, doing the top stairs and bottom indent - which was the hardest part on the first stairs - first. and let me tell you, it has been much easier to work with.

I am hoping to finish these by the end of the week - hopefully sooner! But, I have a lot of appointments coming up in the next couple of weeks, all for the baby's sake. :)

However, I finally bought more canvas do that I can work on this whenever I have the time! Sadly, the craft store didn't have the sturdier canvas I prefer to use, but the stuff I bought will do the same thing - I just don't like the feel of working with it, it's so...flimsy.

But, good news! When this project is complete, I have a couple more lined up.

Yesterday, I went out for lunch with a close friend of mine, and then we went to the mall. And during our mall trip, my friend bought me these!!

Aren't they awesome?! I have a bunch of yarn like this that my grandmother gave me - I call her Nanny, Nan for short, and is how I shall henceforth refer to her as, I just wanted to let you all know that Nan is my grandmother.  Papa is my grandfather. Anyway, my Nan gave me a bunch of yarn like this, but only pinks, whites and a ...maroon colour, I think it is. I think once I'm settled in my new place, I'm going to take picture of my yarn stash, as tiny and insufficient as it is!

Also, more good news! While I was at the craft store today, I found more of this stuff!

This is the yarn that I used to make the Ruffle Scarf! I just couldn't resist buying more of it. I had so much fun making the last one, that I just had to make them in all the colours the store had in stock - I'm tempted to go back and get one more of each colour. 

And yes, I will be selling these once I've made them - I think $15 is a fair price. :) If anyone is interested, please feel free to let me know. :)

And I think that is all I have to blog about for today. 

Wow I just realised, this is probably my longest post yet! I chalk it up to being inactive for a week. Hopefully you'll hear from me again in a few days!! 

Ruffle Scarf

So, as I was making my first post into my blog, I completely forgot to add another scarf that I made. I think it slipped my mind because it's not a loopy scarf like the others. 

Here it is:

I decided to take two picture of this one. One with a stylish Teddy, another as a drape down to fully show the length and design of it.

Make it was pretty simple, more simple than I thought it would be. I bought the material because I really liked the way it looked and felt. But, when I got home and read the instructions, I realised I had no idea what to do - it called for knitting, I'm just learning to do that! Anyway, I eventually found a video on how to crochet it this way, which was super simple and took me about ten to fifteen minutes to make! 

Hope you all like it! =D
