This just in...

I see now that I am starting to get web traffic from what I assume is my Instagram page. That being said I have a renewed interest in updating this blog; I won't lie it is difficult to muster up the desire to pour energy into something that only you look at. I will also have a little free-time after Friday now that I am in the position of having to find a job (don't you just love corporate America?). I make A LOT of "stuff" you can view some of that stuff on my Instagram page which can be viewed here. I will do my best to update this page more often and post my results from my crafty endeavors  that I pursue from the likes of Pinterest, Ravelry, and the Internets as a whole. Like this Gir from Invader Zim that I made from a pattern I found on Ravelry from Nichole's Nerdy Knots. This girl comes up with some really fun stuff and I can't wait to check out more of her awesome free patterns. That's it for today have an AWESOME one!

When life hands you .5mm (10lb) hemp, make...

So, I was a bit confused the other day when I opened my much awaited package of hemp that I ordered from Simple-pleasures-4-u . I love ordering my hemp from there because I always get my package super fast and they have awesome prices and selections as well, :) not to mention the lady who owns the shop is SUPER nice and hand-writes notes (who doesn't love that!?). Anyway, I was confused because my hemp "looked" different from my previous orders of hemp, but it wasn't until I got them side-by-side that I realized where I had fumbled. Even with all my years on Ebay I still mess up from time to time, but this was going to be interesting; finding a use for all this very thin .5mm (10lb) hemp. Little did I know fate would step in the next day when a friend sent me a picture of a para cord bracelet and asked if I could make him one out of hemp? Me: "YES! :)xInfinity" (I love when friends and family ask me to make stuff, like my cousin Pam who has a wedding in Oc...

Fascinated by Fascinators....

So a while ago (April 2015) my cousin Pam came to me and asked me to make her "hair piece" for her wedding. I readily responded with a big-fat-"YES"! But then soon had regrets because I am really not a "hair things" person. I NEVER wear them and I certainly haven't ever had a reason to make one before, but I'm a crafter who likes a challenge. So I talked myself through the following 6 mos. of anxiety attacks. I studied, and pinned, and studied, and pinned. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't thinking of ways to "get out of it", I even thought of just buying one online and admitting that I was clueless. But I pressed on... For about 5 months I bought every chiffon pink, ivory, and navy (her wedding colors) craft item that I happened upon at the craft store, all kinds of stuff . Feathers, old costume jewelry, vintage lace, rhinestones, etc...  all the while not knowing exactly what I was going to make, not knowing what of the c...
