here is your preview of the first cricut-ing adventure.
my birthday scrapbook.
location - SF, CA
union square & pier 31.
the pages really aren't crooked
apparently my scanner whacked them out
and didn't like some of them to be straight...
( dining on a yacht tonight )
really.. the text doesn't cut off like that.
:)
thanks for looking

i know its been a loooong time since i updated.
but i've finally been getting crafty again.
i'm taking a break from working on a quilt right now
just so i can let y'all know i'm alive and kickin.

i've got some babies to craft for.
amber is due in october.
lisa's baby is five months now.
and i should maybe do something for michelle for maybe christmas
(michelle=zack's sister who has a baby thats a little older than lisa's)
all are baby girls.
which is sooo much easier :P
another cousin of mine is having a boy.
so that will throw some interesting ideas to craft into the mix.
well, time for me to get back to ironing squares.
toodles

baby quilt
:D
classic pooh fabric
for the future katelyn jayne
the quilt and onsies are finished.
now all i need to do is bead some socks
and package it up.
i got the black and pink quilt sent out today.
as well as a swap package.
i feel so ontop of things
( pooh and piglet )
the bias tape binding is a kinda off white
It was called "oyster"
it is also tied with off white embroidery floss
in which i barely had enough of.
the front is all cotton fabrics
whether its broadcloth (solid colors)
or the pooh and piglet balloon fabric.
the recipient is a disney lover
so i found it fitting to use this fabric.
i hope it coordinated with something in their house. haa haa |

i've got some more onsies.
this time for a different wee one.
these are for katelyn, who is the future daughter of a gal i used to dance with on fridays for KRI (my dance studio)
she's run off (not literally :P) and got married about two years or so ago
to a navy man, and now they are located in SC
this pregnancy has been a hard one for her
(its her first)
and so i figured i'd send her a little something for the baby.
( onsies )
thar they be.
and to go with it, will be
some beaded socks, a classic pooh quilt
(the fabric is going through the dryer right now)
and possibly a little dress if i get everything going.
:)

| hoodie... is VERY image heavy below the cut |
[Jan. 24th, 2008|07:51 pm] |
------
so i've been wanting to show this off.
but have no idea what the deal is with my swap partner...
as in whether she recieved it or not.
i'm assuming so, since the DCN says it was delivered the 17th...
so here is my hoodie that i sent for the amazing hoodie swap round 6
lots of pictures, but i made them smaller
so hopefully it will take less time to load
( in the hood-ie )
the stars wrap around from the right pocket
swirl across the back
and then spiral down the left arm.
i was so sad i had to send it.
i want one like it now so badly!
the stars are drawn in sharpie
and painted with fabric paint. |

| baby stuff |
[Jan. 22nd, 2008|10:41 pm] |
------
so heres whats going down in my washing machine right now.
i decided to tie dye tonight...
in the freezing garage no less.
so now there are a ton of pairs of socks
plus a onsie in the washing machine.
all being cleaned and what-not
the onsie and a pair of coordinating socks are going to lisa
for her baby shower.
i embellished 4 other onsies, plus the tie dyed ones.
and now i just have to bead some tiny socks by saturday morning.
which should be doable
since i dont work or have school on thursday or friday.
which is nice, let me just say that much.
so she'll have five onsies
and four... maybe five... pairs of beaded socks
(two of the onsies are simaler, one just says i heart my mom
and the other says i heart my dad)
so i have to decided if each get a pair of socks
or if those two onsies just have to share one :P
time to go move stuff to the dryer.
and take a shower :D
will post the onsie sets when all completed

i've decided so that maybe i use this journal more
i'll do a WIPs (work in progress) update.
and then once i do a final project, i'll post here,
as well as craftgrrl.
------
so here goes the first one.
this is the start of a railfence quilt for my cousin
who is three and has a love for dinosaurs.
and is also autistic.
our entire family is trying to encourage this like of dinosaurs
and so this is the start of his "dino themed" christmas present from me.
along with the quilt, i'll be making pj pants
and a dino spike sweatshirt inspired by here on craftster
(wont have the inside stencil. and is a premade sweatshirt the spikes will be added on)
but this is for a three year old.
and the sweatshirt is bound to look beyond adorable. :P
pjs will be made out of the same dino print fabric.
and after that, i still have three gameboy cases to make
and something for one of my old coworkers, whos having a baby girl.
heres to happy crafting!
