head in the clouds


It has been a bit since i have played with my graphite.

I love using this medium because you have so many options available to you.
Here i used cheap watercolor paper 
you do not need expensive materials to make art.
you just need a few supplies

watercolor paper
graphite
eraser
tape to hold the paper
blending stump or finger
blade
inspiration or memory


I did not video this start to finish
 i only show how to put in shadow and a bit of highlight.
video to come on YT

hope you enjoy

happy days!

Cthulhu, circular, and potions...

I have been crochet happy lately,
in case you didn't notice lol.

I made three more pouches for my daughter,
to house all those dice for rpg's.

I love how they turned out!


I used 100 % cotton to make these
two got buttons laying around in my stash.
I am super excited to be using up my stash for projects for those
that truly love them.
it really makes it worthwhile.


Close up of a basic pouch with a braided drawstring.
These may be simple but they are fantastic for all those small trinkets.


I adore this pouch I added a crochet chain to it so it can be worn as a necklace/amulet pouch.
all of these pouches fit the full seven dice from the d20 rpg system.
these are awesome gifts as well for any trinkets and keepsakes.


What can I say...It's Cthulhu...I mean adorable right?! 
This cutie was so much fun to create.
However next time i am picking the buttons, lol
as these are a tad small but beady eyes are a nice touch. hahaha

Video on YT if interested

Playing around

It has been getting a bit warmer so it was time for me
to get some outside fun on

This is what i chose to do this round

I pulled out some watercolors and made a few backgrounds to doodle on
or use in my other crafts


this one above is a full sheet of water color paper and i absolutely love the way it turned out
once they dry they lose a little intensity but i am fine with that.


here are three that i made by cutting the sheet into fours
I have a video on my YT channel coming soon.
Hope you stop by and check it out!

Fish Frenzy! Pokemon anyone...

Lol
The only way i can preface this is my daughter loves fish
Hence the project below.

Pokemon is still a rage with my college age kids
so pair that with a love for fish and you got...

Magikarp!


This crochet cutie is fun to create.
It is a drawstring pouch to hide your dice for rpg games
or any other trinket.

I love how it turned out. 
but
you know me i didn't stop there...


It needed a friend besides my daughter will never turn 
away a fish item!

Hahaha love these super cute pouches.

Check out the deets on my video here!

Great gift idea

In need of quick gift!

These work up super quick and are an easy make.
Crocheted dish scrubbies!

I make these using tool, which you can find pretty cheap at your local walmart.


I have made a few of these in the past and they last quite a long time I am actually still using my first one and it is still holding up really well. 
also these are safe on all surfaces! They do not scratch your non-stick coated pans but boy they make scrubbing a breeze. 


These are on my to do list for gifts for friends and family this year.
I have a decent amount of tool waiting so it would be awesome to deplete my stash and maybe make room for some new colors. always a motive hahaha



I think everyone can benefit from one of these awesome eco-friendly scrubbies. 
these are great stocking stuffers too!

Watch my yt for the video!

I finally picked this back up

I finally picked this back up after the yarn giving me a headache...
I am so glad i did!
Because now i have another 5 done!
Which means one more gift complete! lol

I am super excited to be well on my way of being a bit ahead on gift knitting/crocheting for this year so far...here is hoping it stays that way.


The yarn is a variegated brown,tan and cream. I think these are perfect to gift all ages.
Made of 100 percent cotton.
I use them for wash cloths and they are highly coveted in my house. hahaha


no two are exactly alike due to the variation but they are close enough that you can totally tell they are a set. These ones are getting tucked away for a birthday later this year!
on to the next item on the to do list.

So i wanted to created a special bag for
just that.

I have to say these are so flipping adorable i would use them too!

Don't get me wrong i enjoy it but I think i may have created a monster
in myself. hahaha

Big Finish!

I am so flipping excited to get this off my needles!

Don't get me wrong i really loved working on this...
BUT,
I couldn't be happier to have another free needle!

I have a few stagnant projects laying in hiding that i want to try to work on here and there and hopefully get them closer to being off the needles also.
no guarantees, of course, lol. just would be nice is all hahaha.

Anyway I am quite happy with this shawl and even more happy to have reasonably sized down some old stash, which is awesome!


I love the super squishyness  of this shawl I used a bag of mill ends i picked up at my local Joanns awhile back and i think this was the perfect project for it!
it took 341g of the original 400 but I also stopped the pattern early in fear of playing yarn chicken.


Honestly even cutting it short this is a sizeable shawl I don't think i would like it as much in this yarn should i have went to the full length.


However, i can see myself making another of these shawls in the future,
BUT
in another yarn weight or even just a different fiber.

I have a video showing this shawl if you are interested.
