Bedroom tour!

My bedroom. Where the magic.... doesn't happen. That's the craft room. Unless there is cat-magic going on while I am at work. I don't know, the cats won't say.

Anyway, since there is one full boatload of pictures, I put a cut in today! Seriously, I am not kidding, I went a leeetle crazy with the pictures. Because I know you want DETAILS.

Those works in progress...es!

A surprising amount of embroidery, really. I guess that is what I am really focused on right now. I have no idea why. That and dolls... I need to get back to my less girly crafts, once I figure out what they are. Also, a warning about this entry: it has... bewbs! A bewb. An embroidered bewb. But still a bewb. Can you tell I like saying bewb? But now you know to shield the tender eyes of your babies in case they have never seen one! I even put in a cut JUST FOR YOU.

Other things I finished...

...that I forgot about. I swear, I am one of the flakiest people I know. If my head wasn't firmly attached to my body, I definitely would have misplaced it several times this week alone.

Anyway, it's not like I forgot a lot of stuff... I mean, one is right there across from my bed and I see it every morning when I wake up...

Holy crap blue
...but isn't isn't it pretty!?

The blue is more intense than I had intended... It was kinda dark when I painted it, and it looked like a very different color. But I am too lazy to fix it, and it was fun to paint. Except I got paint all over my wall when I was doing the splatter. Whoops! Sorry, landlord!

I also did a pretty little tablecloth (bookcasecloth?) for my bookcase. The top of the bookcase is kinda scruffy, so it needed something:

The sake set is from Heather.

:D I need a new iron. Mine does not actually get rid of wrinkles in linen! What kind of crap is that!? But it did make the leaves flat, and they are super cute:

I'm not that great at an even chain stitch.

And that's all I got! Next week there will be some works in progress (mostly embroidery) and a tour of my super sweet and girly bedroom!

Also! For the record! My new goal is to post twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays! Why those particular days, you ask? I have no idea! I chose them arbitrarily but you can't complain because I am awesome! I think I overuse exclamation points!

Terrariums!

Terrariums! Aren't they fantastic? Little ecosystems that I never have to water! It's like the whole thing was invented so that I could not kill some plants for once.

Since I have an intense love for apothecary jars, I was really excited to have an excuse to finally get some. I always pine over them in home decorating sections, despite knowing that I am not the sort to fill them with fake lemons as part of my decor. Of course, the jars I got sat empty in my living room for a couple months before I got around to making my terrariums (don't judge me!).

I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out.

Photographing glass was more difficult than I anticipated.

I am especially fond of the little one with moss. Moss is probably one of my favorite plants—it's soft, comfy, and super easy to transplant. I found some more moss at my parents' house that looks like little trees, and once I find another container, I am going to make another terrarium with it. Since the moss one is my favorite, it got to have my super awesome holey rock that I found on a beach in Costa Rica.

It's like a little bed for my pet rock.

I am eventually going to take pictures of the other stuff I am working on, but it's been rainy and my camera sucks butt, so I haven't gotten around to it. But I will! Promise!

Oh man

I am so seriously bad about keeping up with this blog...

I haven't actually completed any projects lately (bad Megan!), but later I will take some pictures of WIPs and post them. :)

I am working on so many things! And I keep wanting to start MORE!

It doesn't help that my craft room is currently the Pit Of Chaos, Cardboard, And Also Polystyrene. My computer desk also got moved into there, as well, since I redecorated my bedroom. Hey! Does that count? Cause I finished that... Executive decision—yes, it counts, yes, I'm blogging about it. Later. >_>

Update! I am a flake and I forgot that I did actually make three terrariums that have been lounging in my living room, basking in attention and sunlight. I just forgot about them. I'll post about them later this week.
