Playing catch up..

.. this is my mini scarf for an upcoming Mang animation.

A couple of weekends ago, I upgraded to Flickr Pro..

…today, I organized my entire Flickr collection and sorted it into 2 major Collections with several Sets within them.

Finally, I feel like I can find things just a little easier!

The collections are: Domestic Vacations and Craft Projects.  Then I subset them by cities and Supplies, Knitting, Crochet and Paper Craft. How do you guys organize your Flickr photos?

Today, I made an Etsy listing.  That counts, right?

Many, many years ago as a kid, I made a basketweave heart out of construction paper for my mom.  She really loved it and has referred to it over the years.

This year, I thought I’d make her a new one.. but updated with felt, buttons and some fancy stitching.  I kinda screwed up which means I should really pin down the ends the next time around.

It’s a little too late for a V-Day tutorial but I can make one if anyone’s curious.

This necklace has somewhat of a story behind it.  I bought it with MissU and another friend at a vintage sale.  When I wore it the first day, the necklace fell apart as I was walking down the street.  MissU and I spent 15 minutes playing in traffic as the beads had fallen on the crosswalk.

When I tried restringing it, it took 3 tries.  1st – it came out too short.  2nd – replaced original black seed beads with clear, larger beads but they fell off the string since I hadn’t made the end knot yet.  3rd – and final – it came out to look like this.

All pieces are from the original except the much stronger metal thread and crimp beads I bought recently.

2nd pirate wristwarmer in the making.

Knit legwarmers in the process!  These are part of my hat & legwarmers matching set.

Can’t wait to finish them but they’ll probably be worked on throughout the month and I’ll post them as a “thing” when they’re done.
