What I'm Working On: Crocheted Flowers

Nicky Epstein's Crocheted Flowers

I actually bought this book a few years ago. I never used it because I didn't have the correct hooks for the gauges. I recently decided to throw that thought out the window and play around a bit.

Well Nicky said nothing about hair fancies but I think these flowers are perfect for this.  I'm still prototyping but these should be available in the shop next month.

Happy 2011, Everyone!

I know I've been gone a minute. This last year of grad school has been taking up all my time but I'm slowly making my way back into the crafting world. I've been buried under yarn and paper and projects the past few weeks and I'll be sharing what I'm working on soon.

I hope the new year is treating you well!!!

Supply Shopping: A.C. Moore

I did a little shopping for supplies to work on new projects.  Most of my things are packed in anticipation of moving soon.

More sticker madness!

I've been wanting to try this glue gun so I picked it up. 

 Finally I can afford some dies.

More stickers and stamp pads with embossing powder

Some loose papers

Some paper packs

I'm back at the Brooklyn Lyceum on May 1 + 2, 11 am to 7 pm

It's a perfect time to shop for gifts for Mother's Day, Father's Day, and graduations.   I will be selling with the uber talented jewelry designer, Yania of Yania Creations.  We always have a great time at the Lyceum.  Plus there's a place across the street called Yomari's that sells the most amazing empanadas.  Oh God, my eyes roll back in my head just thinking of it.  And the prices are insanely affordable.

Collaged Pendants -- Thing A Day #22-28

I got a little behind in my picture taking.  First I was sick.  Then my daughter was sick.  Then her 8th birthday was Saturday and now I'm studying for mid-terms.  These were quick to make.  I just need to add the chains and pinbacks.  My daughter actually made me one to wear.  I'm probably going to make more of these in the next few weeks.

 

It was great participating this year!!!

 

Best,
Danielle
