Slacking

I have been slacking with my crafting for many months now. I completed a few measly creations during the holidays, for a few family members, but that's about it. Here is my tiny list... For my brothers, I sewed them each an i Pod case. One on them is green+black, and one of them is red+ black. (I may or may not show photos of them.)

I also tried to make some felt rings with ideas from several different craft books. Here is the first one that I made.





You can wear it this way...



or this way, with the stitching up...

I have made three others, a black+red one that was too large, a brown+green one for my mom, and a brown+orange+magenta one for my grandmother. The problem is that the felt I have is very thin, and can stretch out easily, so it's hard to judge sizing.

Another of my endeavors was a Noro Silk Garden Scarf. The photos which I took may not be in complete focus, because the lighting was low. The yarn is absolutely gorgeous, with a mix of pink, purple, green, black, brown, and a beautiful blue-aqua color.







Though these pictures are a bit blurry, you can still see the color and texture. Lastly, I have been making a lot of little clay dogs recently, particularly for Valentine's Day. I'm hoping to set up an Etsy shop, to sell a few of them. I may have photos up later, so stay tuned!
