I've Been Busy

As the title implies...I've been very busy lately. My husband decided that I should have my own room to paint, draw, sew, etc, etc. So, we moved my drafting table and a bazillion other things down into one of our spare bedrooms. Squeeee! It's awesome. I now have a library, arts, and crafts room. Complete with a tv that doesn't work Woo!

All silliness aside, as soon as my stuff was in one place my brain just exploded with all these ideas. So, without further ado...a pictural journey of my work in the past couple (?) of weeks. I don't even remember.

I've been crocheting more again after my brief hiatus (much to the chagrin of my husband). I finally got the guts to try filet crochet and you know what? It isn't all that hard to do. For more information on how this was made, please check out: Easier Than You Think

This is the table runner!



Yes, those are my husband's magazines. But, how cool does that look?

I also had the privilege to get a picture of one of the scarves I made for Christmas, but forgot to take a picture of. Please read previous post...something about me being stupid. Anyway...this one was my absolute favorite. Ted likes unicorns, and the color pink.



His wife tells me he likes to wear it.

These are just some cool clouds I saw last week. I like that you can see the sun through the clouds.



I am almost embarrassed to post these, but since no one knows how I am anyway...I figured why not. I tried watercolor painting for the first time this week. I don't know if what I made is good or what. I look at other peoples' paintings and they look good. I look at mine and think...this doesn't look like theirs. I dunno. I did make a sweet nebula. I have named it the Seahorse Nebula. Maybe it exists.



Close up of one of the crappy paintings. Sorry about the shadows, I couldn't escape their clutches.



This is the Seahorse Nebula. I like this one.

So, yes. I was busy. I hope to have pictures of LACE in a few days. That's right. I'm doing lace now. Booyah!

From Crochet to Painting and Back Again

I had an exlosion of creativity last night! Woooo! I tried my hand at watercolor painting. I gotta say, after my very first attempt I think I've got the hang of it. I will have pictures up soon. I made a nebula! :)

Other than watercolors, I've also been doing some little crochet work. I finally figured out filet crochet, and I made a cute heart table runner for my mom. (Again, pictures up soon). My crowning achievement this week though, was definitely the crocheted gladiator helmet I made. No pattern (again), just worked off of my head and a real helmet. This I have a picture of.



Don't look at my silly face...look at the helmet! I'm going to be making many more of these, in many more styles. :)

Look out for more stuff! I'm getting back in the groove...
