National Craft Month: Designing with Bleach

March 21, 2010 by Cindy Leave a Comment

So it’s National Craft month and I havent posted ANYTHING yet, oh dear! But I have been busy. I’ve nearly completed my Penguin Quilt for the County Fair, and I’ve also been experimenting with a new art form: Bleach. We all know bleach takes color out. A lot of the time, it’s totally on accident……

Fun with knots! All you need is a roll of Hemp…

November 19, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

I’ve been cleaning my room and sorting out all of my craft stuff… which of course includes several 1/2 finished projects… and I came across this: It’s a cool hemp macrame piece, about 1″ across, and I think originally I wanted it to be a belt…. but the remaining cord doesn’t seem like it will…

The Making of a Penguin Pumpkin

October 31, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

I’m working Halloween night (so I can get Christmas or New Years off, such is life in the hospitality industry) but I was still able to get a little creative for the occasion… the hotel I work at has a pumpkin carving/decorating contest! This is my 3rd year to participate… my last 2 were pretty…

A skein is a terrible thing to waste: Learning How to Knit

September 23, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

While cleaning my room/organizing my living space this weekday-weekend (my days off rarely fall on a Saturday-Sunday), I realized I have a lot of space-hogs. One is my VHS movie collection. Another major culprit is YARN. Apparently I have lots of yarn… 2 big Rubbermaid plastic storage bins full. And then I got ANOTHER huge…

Sew what?? A bag and a bear!

September 21, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

September is National Sewing Month! But you already knew that, right. :/ I found out via a Joann’s Fabrics email. If you cant find a Happy Sewing month cards at Hallmark, you could always make one yourself 😀 My last weekend was originally supposed to be 4 days, but turned into 6 days off… leaving…

Craft Month: Embroidery

March 27, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

Embroidery. It’s a simple textile art that has been around for, well, ever. Or at least since the invention of fabric and thread. It’s simple, and classic, and is helping me turn my store bought blank baby onesies into little works of art! Seriously, I have no use for onesies right now, but they are…

Craft Month: New Life into Old T-Shirts

March 22, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

I have a million T-shirts. Shocking, I know… the collection just grows and grows, and it’s so hard to part with them… the little reminders of events I attended, projects I volunteered for, organizations I was a part of, and those clever saying ones I am probably to old to be wearing out in public…

Craft Month: Plastic Bag Yarn

March 18, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

What is this?? It’s about 30 plastic grocery bags… that I turned into a ball of plastic-bag-yarn. There are many websites/tutorial out there on the different practical things you can make by knitting or crocheting with this stuff. Like this bag (not made by me, instructions here): A combination of recycling and crafts, awesome! And…

Today’s Project: A Special Pan and Lemony Bites

March 17, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

Marline is one of the nicest neighbors you could possibly want… she has a crazy amazing craft room too (basically an entire 2nd floor above her garage!). And today is her BIRTHDAY! I’ll be filling up the pan with the Campbell/Trueba Family Lemony Bites (recipe below). This is also my first attempt at etching on…

Craft Month: Quilted Postcards

March 16, 2009 by Cindy Leave a Comment

My first try was the bright colored one below… then I decided to make a batch for valentines. Below are some of my favorites! Basically, each is a 4″x6″ quilt (machine pieced). I fused each quilt to a piece of thick, double sided interfacing (Pellon Peltex 72f) and machine “quilted” the top. (to get the…
