I know we are photo-less fools!

Soooo, lovely Lulu's gmail went all corrupt-style on her forcing the loss of all the crafty images she had uploaded from there.

Moment of silence for all the craft-pics we have lost. 

In other news crafting has not curbed what-so-ever as we are ramping up for a fun summer full of outdoor bbq's, farmers markets, and craft fairs!!!

Bzzee Beerthday!

Made this little animated gif for my mom's birthday. I have chosen the path of the animated gif because I have never given myself a chance to dive into imovie...maybe one day. Until then, I will be old-fashioned! (I will figure out how to upload it later today, until then enjoy the drawing!)

My baby water color kit has been the most useful thing on trips. Forget clean underwear, DO NOT FORGET the BABY WATER COLOR KIT. This was the view from my hotel window in London. I was feeling yucky that day, but still got to experience the view!

Subconsciously inspired by Tanna's reference to not being able to commit to nice furniture, I redecorated a really ugly piece found by the dumpster a few months ago-a huge honking thing that threatened to swallow anything slightly cozy about my room-originally obtained for its functionality. I've been on a lucifying kick-so here is the result. A not quite completed patchy worky work in progress. I'd like to go back and add some painted/drawn creature details eventually.

OWL in his hat!

"Itty-bitty" hat for nephew OWL

This adorable hat is just about to fly off to see it's new owner, my 3 month old nephew OWL (those are his awesome initials).  I was inspired by a hat pattern in the fabulous book "itty-bitty hats" by Susan Anderson which was a birthday gift from a fellow craft addict.

I partly used her pattern and mostly winged it.  I knit the hat and then added the ear flaps, whereas she knit the entire hat up from earflaps.  Both ways work splendidly I dare say.

The one big part I took from the book was the adorable snowflake pattern embroidered on top.  I love love love this part.

After these pics I lined it with fleece to protect his head from the itchies- I hope he likes it!
