Uh...where have you been?

Wow! It's been almost a year since I've written something! Sad, sad, sad :( My oldest is in school every day now, and I'm involved, so I find very little time to craft. This year I've made one homemade Christmas gift so far. Epic fail. Next year, I swear it will be better! I am planning to make something cute for my daughter, so when it's done, I'll post it here along with a tutorial if it goes well. Love, Rebecca

Look what I did! and....A giveaway!

It's an iPhone cozy! I found this cool pattern on Pinterest and my dear friend Tina (thanks, Tina!) helped me get this started! But I still need more practice, so.....if you'd like me to knit one of these for you, be one of the first two to post a comment here on the blog. I will make you your own cozy, in the color(s) you want, and get it to you by the end of February, or sooner! Good luck!

A new year and some new ideas...

2012 is here and due to my recent Pinterest discovery, I am beginning to feel that crafty feeling again.

First, I started with this: http://thejoyofdecorating.com/2011/09/the-joy-of-scarves/ which is a DIY t-shirt scarf. I changed it just a little from this pattern and added a braid on one side and a felted flower. Fun!

Next, I made this cool beaded necklace: http://www.skiptomylou.org/2011/09/05/bead-knot-fabric-necklace-tutorial/ but instead of wooden beads, I used styrofoam which made it lighter, and probably less expensive.

And today, I dug out the knitting needles and started this: http://artemisadornments.com/2010/10/10/stripey-iphone-cosy/ , an iPhone cosy made from scrap yarn. Probably not entirely necessary, but pretty easy once my lovely knitting teacher helped me :)
