Headband CRAZY!

So, I've been going headband crazy. I like them. You can do a million creative things with headbands and even something really intricate will only take you about an hour.

A few weeks ago I made a headband with a flower for my sister, when I saw it I got a crazy idea. I want to wear a lily pad on my head! I've had a LOT of homework, so I haven't been able to do
much crocheting lately, but now is my fall break and no scrap of yarn is safe. TA DAH!



















It may be silly, but I love it. I have the pattern and if anyone is interested I might be persuaded to post the pattern here. ;)

I know it's been a long time.

I know it has been a long time, and I'm sorry, but here's something for you guys. :D I found this really cute flower here:
I thought it was super cute and I was bored, so I decided to use the aforementioned pattern to make this.
This is actually the second headband I made. The first was exactly the same except created in blue. I realized that it was perfect for my sister. I gave it to her and forgot to take a picture so I made a new one. Ta Dah!

This pattern is really simple. All you need is one of those stretchy elastic headbands, some yarn and a button. Just single crochet your way around the headband make a flower and sew it to the headband. Done!

I know it's not crocheted. . .

I know it's not crocheted, but it is something I made with my hands and it is geeky and makes me happy so. . .

Here it is, my Doctor Who inspired t-shirt.


There is a great episode of Doctor Who. And at one point the Doctor says "the Angels have the Phone Box" and another character says he has that on a t-shirt. This has caused every fan kid to make said t-shirt, but I never found one with wings on the back, so I made it myself.

FINALLY!

Happy Easter, all! And what says Easter more than new crochet guys. I am finally back to crocheting after about 7 months of nothing. If you have seen my previous posts, I was diagnosed with tendinitis about 6 months ago and it has taken all of this time for the pain to fully go away. I've done a few stitches here and there over the months, but my first full project since the diagnosis was yesterday. I am making two of my little guys. Here are some pictures.

If you can't tell the first one is Edward Cullen and the second is Dracula. I made the body for Edward about a year ago. It was actually intended to be Captain Jack Harkness, but A) these are presents for a friend of mine and B) I didn't have time to make two new bodies and C) the colors were right (although I wish Ed were a little paler). I made the hair yesterday and it took about 45 minutes. For the record I HATE working with fuzzy yarns, but I think Edward's hair is perfect. I found some really great tips here at PlanetJune.

I started Dracula yesterday and finished him today. Let me tell you, his hair was a pain, but I think he finally looks really good. He has a felt cape that I sewed together, and awesome little fangs.

The only problem now is Edwards eyes. Once that is done, these gifts will be complete! I can't wait to see my friends face. I hope she likes them.

If anyone else cares...

I have one follower on this blog and I know exactly who it is and she already knows this... so if anyone else cares... this is the reason I have not posted anything for a while. I have been diagnosed with a type of tendinitis and it is painful and awkward to crochet, so if you don't hear anything from me for awhile... it's the tendinitis.

And the lesson is...

So, once upon a time...

An evil scien-temptress created an amazing being. And his name was Frankenguy. She worked tirelessly for two weeks to give him the perfect body. After hours of labor she believed her work to be complete. She finished her creation, and stitched him up.

Weeks went by and she realized that Frankenguy's body was not being shown to it's full potential. He sagged in places that should have been svelte. There was only one thing to be done... surgery.









The surgery was long and painful. It took two long hours, but in the end her work done she believed that her creation was even better...


Now children... what is the moral of this fairlytale???

Always over stuff your projects the first time. Don't try to resort to open crochet surgery weeks later... the ending may not be a happy one.

I'm in a play...

Right now I am in a play. I am playing the reverend's wife in Anne of Green Gables. I have to walk across the stage in the funeral procession for Matthew and I really wanted a handkerchief, so I made one. . . and then I asked the director if I could use it. :D Here it is.

The "A" is for Allan. I play Mrs. Allan
