Posted by Julie in : Craftiness Is Next To Godliness, Drama Queen , trackbackI finally got home before midnight last night - largely due to leaving as soon as the run-through of the play was done. I have to call the director today to give him my notes, but do you know how fan-fucking-tastic it was to be in my house by 10:30, and able to upload photos before I crashed and burned? Well, you’re about to find out, because here there be photos. Crafty ones, at that.
First, my Big Brother’s Christmas present, a simple striped, ribbed number (no comments about “ribbed for his pleasure” because if you knew my brother, that would make you throw up a little in your mouth). It’s blue because my brother is red-green color blind: blue is one of the few colors he sees “correctly.” Here it is, modeled by an obliging Eeyore jack-o-lantern:
My brother is damned lucky I love him, because I heart this scarf. So does Rick.
Now, for what I did last weekend while watching Breaking Bonaduce and My Fair Brady on VH1. (Note: I SO can’t help my fixation with those shows. They are like trainwrecks that must be watched.) I couldn’t get into my knitting - my attention span has been shot to hell, along with my sleep patterns lately. So I did something else.
A while ago Regan, Aimee, and I were chatting, and we decided that stitch markers wouldn’t be all that hard to make. Well, Regan has made numerous stitch markers by now, but this weekend was my first foray into them. I think they turned out pretty well:
I ended up with a bunch of wire cuts on my fingers, because the memory wire I was using was a bit too thick. In a land without Michael’s, Wal-Mart, or a Target with a craft section, I had to make due with what I could find. But I think they’re pretty anyway. And my hands have mostly healed by now.
Finally, for Sloth, who is (I am sure) totally bored with all this talk of craftiness, I give you the new shoes I ordered on Zappos. They are so beautiful that people have come up to me all week to compliment me, and even Rick would like a pair. As he said “I’ve never had shoe envy before, but I think I need a pair of those.” Luckily, they’re Chuck Taylors, which are unisex:
