dorky crafts and other struggles
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-post.html
Wednesday, February 18, 2009. My last post was in September? I'm back. Really! I'm determined to bring this blog back to life, at least as much as it was before. Blogging inspires me to craft, but unfortunately crafting doesn't inspire me to blog. Mostly because I'm too busy and I don't feel like I've done anything noteworthy. Since graduating college and getting a 9-5er job, I've had notably less time to sew, but a lot more time to crochet and knit! Life is Uneven Cowl. From the Charmed Knits book that ...

dorky crafts and other struggles: Whoops..
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2008/08/whoops.html
Sunday, August 17, 2008. A week or so ago, I decided to go about making my first piece of clothing based off of a pattern. A simple pair of pajama pants, with these lovely flannel prints that I got a very long time ago:. I'm happy to say the pants came out fitting very well, except. I shortened the pattern a little in the waist area, and now they're a tad TOO short. Let's just say I shan't be bending over while wearing these pants, hm? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Who is this girl, anyway?

dorky crafts and other struggles: I am the worst blogger ever.
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2008/09/i-am-worst-blogger-ever.html
Sunday, September 14, 2008. I am the worst blogger ever. I've been completely slacking on this poor blog. But it's not as if I've been hiding my crafts - I simply haven't been doing any! The good news is, this week I'm going to try real hard to make time to make a few more dino plushies. My church is having an auction, and I'm going to donate that dino quilt I made a month back along with a few dino plush I've been thinking about. Should be fun! In less than a month, Plush You opens in Seattle! I'm an as...

dorky crafts and other struggles: May 2008
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 26, 2008. Happy birthday, Mom! My mom's birthday is tomorrow, and in addition to a few other things I got her, I crossed off one of her plush wishes and made her a turtle:. His head is a bit floppy, and she says he reminds her of a hat, but I think he turned out well. I really like his shell, which is made of fleece with felt patches. Next on the list is a crab! Sunday, May 25, 2008. Ahhhh I want this. This adorable kitten is by Astulabee. Friday, May 16, 2008. Tuesday, May 13, 2008. There's ...

dorky crafts and other struggles: Belts!
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2008/08/belts.html
Sunday, August 17, 2008. So many of my crafts are gifts for my mom, either by specific request from her or just because I make something I think she'd like. This belt, modeled by me here, was asked for specifically by her, after she found this tutorial. On how to make a flower tulle belt for way less than J Crew would like to charge for it. (The blog, generally, is quite a fun read. Now that I have to dress professionally every day, it's nice seeing how other people do it with flair! A stitch in dye.

dorky crafts and other struggles: Been a while, hasn't it?
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2008/08/been-while-hasnt-it.html
Sunday, August 17, 2008. Been a while, hasn't it? A lot has happened since my last post. I moved home from collegetown, settled in with my family again, and started applying in earnest for any sort of writing job available. Unfortunately, nothing directly related to my major has worked out, but I am. Starting as a receptionist for an insurance agency in a week. It'll be a good starting job, I think. In the meanwhile, I've kept myself busy with a few crafts, including finally finishing my dinosaur quilt!

dorky crafts and other struggles: Hats!
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2008/07/hats.html
Wednesday, July 16, 2008. Okay, just one hat. And it's tiny. I was playing around with crocheting in the round yesterday, and ended up making this tiny little beanie, modelled by a TY plush I have lying around. I'm now working on a Liane-sized version in blue and pink, so let's see how that goes. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Who is this girl, anyway? View my complete profile.

dorky crafts and other struggles: Finally finished!
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2008/07/finally-finished.html
Monday, July 7, 2008. Since I graduated a few weeks ago, I've had a lot more time on my hands. I decided to put at least some of that time toward finishing the blanket I started back when I moved in, almost ten months ago; I mentioned it way back when, describing it as " a smaller blanket. Than the one I made for my mom's birthday last year. Hah! This thing is huge. It's roughly 33 inches by 114 inches, or two and a half feet by nine and a half. Ridiculous!

dorky crafts and other struggles: Food and yarn!
http://dorky-crafts.blogspot.com/2008/07/food-and-yarn.html
Tuesday, July 15, 2008. I made some delicious banana-chocolate bread the other day. From scratch! I've made banana bread from a mix before, just adding my own bananas, but this time I did it on my own. It turned out really well. Very moist and delicious. The chocolate chips made it. I've been working a lot on knitting and crocheting lately. I've finally knitted a scarf! I've also figured out how to crochet in the round! Maybe once I get this down, I can try making some cute little yarn amiguri! The Look ...
