Needles, thread, and yarn.

I might have cut my vacation short (I gave up after less than a week) just a bit xP

I'm terrible about taking pictures so unfortunately there will be no "before" picture, just an "after" when I finally finish cleaning up my work space. It's for the best though, trust me! So while I work on cleaning up, moving around, and narrowing down everything I want to accomplish with my work space, I'll simply leave you with a couple of miscellaneous January craft projects I'm working on. Go ahead, give them a try =)

So I might have my eye on a different pattern by Brittany at BeeZeeArt but, considering I have no confidence whatsoever in the sewing skills my mother tried to make sure I learned, I couldn't pass up this beginner level pattern for Plushie Potion Bottles! I'm lucky enough to have quite a few people in my life that these little plushies would make excellent gifts for, so here's hoping I can get enough practice in with these little beauties to attempt some Jellyfish, Squid, & Betta and Dragons & Gryphon.




People may think plastic canvas crafts are out dated and lame but these little Monster Bookmarks are anything but! Plastic canvas crafts will always make me think of my grandmother (Lorraine) fondly so I figured it was worth starting a few projects that bring me comfort.
