Craft-date! (as in Update, except Craft instead of Up)

Hot water bottle cover. To me it looks more like a hot water bottle jumper. It reminds me of that angry hot ware bottle guy from Jhonson and Friends. You can see on the close up the fancy jumper collar detail.








Hair facinators. I was planning to wear these to my friend Catherine's wedding on Sunday- But alas, I forgot and left them at home.
But I did make them, out of feathers, wire, hair combs and beads. I am quite proud.





Luna Lovegood Radish earings, mark III. My dog ate the other 2 pairs. No Joke.












Another Wash Your Damn Hands, but this time, on a face washer.













Luna Lovegood "Butter Beer" cork necklace.















The biginings of what will be a really pretty pillow. The end result is that picture there, and the 3 rows on the purple needle- that's the start I've made. I'm happy so far :)

recent projects

So I've been beading quite a bit lately. This is just the tiniest bit of stuff that I've done- I give alot (the best stuff) away. My favourite is the bottom most one, just 'cause it actually looks profesh.











So, this set of bracelet, mecklace and earings is going to be sent to scotland for my friend Liisa's birthday. I thought I'd make her something special instaed of buying something very similar.











Ok, I've also done some embroidery. This is the only remaining piece I've got hanging around- the rest have again been given away. This is a hand towel, and for those who can't quite make it out the embroidered text is "Wash Your Damn Hands". I did a hankie for my firend Hugh with a germ on it, which I hope to one day get a picture of and post it. That's some of my best work.
I've also done a patchwork quilt for Kiran recently, made out of dresses I wore alot when we first started dating. And some other wikked patterns, so hopefully I'll get a pic of that sometime too.


As usual, I've been knitting. This is a hot waterbottle cover in the making.












I've also doing some socks for Kiran. The green one's completely done, but the blue one's not there at all.



I've also done a whole heap of knitted cup cakes for various people, all different patterned and decorated with beads and wool.


I want to start some tea cosies soon, as well as some different kinds of beanies and maybe some real mittens, not the cheating cut off ones.

Over the holidays I plan to get all this crap out of my system so I can start back at tafe nice and fresh :) Kiran and I are going to melbourne on Sunday morning, so that'll be a really nice break from everything for a while.
