Getting there...

April 17, 2012

Last night I loaded up my thrift store spinning thingy with my technique swap samples. 

Now all I need to do is give it a spin to be inspired to try a new technique!

Over the weekend I made a quick dash out to IKEA and picked up a couple of kitchen racks to accomodate more punches.  See the new longer rack on the very bottom?

I added a smaller one here for more punches and I found a space for my flat SU! punches too!

I was a bit bummed that they didn't have the same kind of rack as what I started with but this style is ok and with all the punches you can't really see the rack!

I also finished my mother-in-law's birthday gift - I made her a bronze and gunmetal chainmaille bracelet. 

Until Next Time!

Lack of blog posts but staying busy...

I'm sorry that I haven't been posting much lately - is anyone still out there and visiting my blog?

I've been busy with other crafts (maybe I should change my blog title?).

Here's what I've been up to...

Mostly crocheting flower pins, scarves, cowls, and infinity scarves to stock up for next winter's craft shows and gift giving.

Also I recently learned how to make chainmaille jewellery.  Isn't this pretty?

And Until Next Time!

making me some wrap bracelets...

While I sit at home and recouperate from my latest surgical adventure I have been keeping myself busy with making some wrap bracelets.

Aren't these cool!

I got the info to make them from HERE

The only changes I made were to lengthen the ball chain length to give me a looser bracelet - I ended up with a 15" inch rather than a 14" bracelet for my 7" sized wrists.

If you make these yourself you might want to measure your wrist first then double it and add 3/4 to 1" to get your finished size.

Until Next Time!
