hobo bag straps

Oh my goodness! The leather hobo bag straps I ordered from Amazon are here! That was quick! They look to be of good quality. They're by byhands--a Korean company. I know they'll look fantastic on my crocheted bags!

Happy Holidays!

Image
Good evening!  I have had a busy fall, with no time to update at all! I just completed my student teaching in English as a Second Language last week.  Pretty soon, I will hopefully get my teacher certification for my state and a my first full-time job! With the holidays coming, my mom asked me what I was getting my dad for Christmas.  Well, I didn't get anyone anything.  That had to change.  So I dug around in my stash for some yarn to make a Christmas pudding ornament for my dad.  Then, a TARDIS ornament was added.  Then, I added a weeping angel and Dalek to the mix.  My sister made me add a mince pie to the collection.  So, the British Ornament set was born.  My dad is English, so it works. I added the mince pie ornament to the blog.  Please enjoy and have a happy holiday (if you celebrate one). This is a pattern for my Mince Pie Ornament.  It uses US crochet terms.  Enjoy!     Items needed: 3.25 mm (D) hook [I LOVE my Clover Amour Crochet hooks] pastry-colored

Pegboard!

WOOT! About a week and a half ago, I went to Lowe's with my mom and sister to get materials for a pegboard after picking Jamie up from college for birthday weekend #2 (Everyone in my immediate family's birthdays are within 19 days of each other).  I got a 2' x 4' pegboard (brown because they didn't have any white ones), some 1" x 2" x 6' pieces of wood, a pegboard container, wood screws, and drywall anchors and screws. While at work this past Sunday, my dad put up my pegboard!  YAY!  Once I saw the pegboard, I put my little container on it and put some supplies in it.  I bought some pegs today on Amazon (a 50-pack) and started winding up yarn with my Lacis yarn winder I bought this past summer but never used. I'm surprised at much less space each skein now takes up compared to its factory-made form.  It's really nice and prettier to look at.  I imagine it will be easier to work with as well.  I can't wait!  I don't think all of my

Wilton Course 1: Concise Class 2 of 2

Image
    Well, tonight my mom and I went to Jo-Ann for our second and final Wilton class.  Last week, my mom sprained her back and brought back her back problems.  So, she was on muscle relaxers for this class.  Apparently they helped because she was better this week, hehe!     For this class, we transferred an image from our practice boards to our cakes using piping gel. I chose the owl picture. Then I added some drop swirl flowers, a zinnia, shell border, and ruffle-shell border on top.     We learned ribbon roses as well. I should have purchased some decorator icing for the roses because my flower edges were feathery-looking. Not pretty.  I guess I'll do so for course 2, which focuses on flowers and cake design.
