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 :)

Giveaway!

Would you like to win a DVD of the movie Something Borrowed (see the widget for synopsis and other info in the previous post), starring Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin? To enter, comment on this post and tell me what you borrowed when you got married. If you are not married or didn't borrow anything, tell me how many weddings you have been in. Because I'm curious.

Good luck!

Hello internet....

It's been oh so long since I've written a blog post, four months about!

Back to school, birthdays and Halloween are upon us. It's going to be a busy couple of months! Atticus is going to be a "police", Meredith is undecided, and I plan to go as Wednesday from Addams Family. I think it suits me. Will has yet to disclose his Halloween costume, but it's just got to be a dandy!

Look for a giveaway in the next few days and hopefully some creative posting will follow that!

And the winner is....

Jessica!!!!!!

Tangled....Have you seen it??

Happy commenting!
