ho hum

Not much happening. I am so lazy. I am pretty sure that Homer would write an epic poem devoted to my laziness. I mean, Calliope shows up once in a while asking if I should write one about myself, and I am always like, "nah...."

I am such a literature nerd. And I guess a regular nerd, too.

Which reminds me: lately I have been wearing my powerup mushroom earrings a lot, but I find myself wishing I had one up earrings instead, since they would match my green clothes. But that would involve trying to sculpt more mushrooms out of polymer clay, which was super tedious. So... Yoshi eggs! :D

 Those wires are just for painting and glazing, not for sticking in my ears.

I will make them into earrings later... I have a serious earrings problem, btw.

This also reminds me, I finally made my bunny and carrot charms into a pair of earrings.

Everyone is so happy.

I think I have been meaning to do this for two years now. Wait... no... close to three. -sigh-

Ooooh! I also did some more embroidery with my boobie lady. But I think I will save pics until Thursday, when I will have even more progress completed! I won't be done, because I left some of the thread at my parents' house.... -sigh-

Sorry.

I meant to post a "sorry nothing to say" entry on Tuesday Monday because I definitely remember which days I have promised to post, but I forgot. I was exhausted from seeing the Colbert report. :D

Anyway, on Tuesday I made cupcakes for one of my coworkers, whose last day was yesterday. She loves my cupcakes, and says that my delicious frosting has ruined other frosting for her forever. (Sorry!) But anyway, I got to use my new silicon flower veiner, and it was a lot of fun.

I forgot to take a picture in the morning with good light (and a decent camera) so I took one at work with my cell phone. I still think you can see how awesome they are. ;)

Not much happening

I was lazy the past two nights and haven't really done anything. I tried to embroider a nose for Mr. Lumpy Bunny, but it was really frustrating. I kept messing up, or the fabric would bunch, and then I couldn't unbunch it... argh. So I decided I'd pick up some felt and applique a nose. Just need to find pink felt...

What??? You want a picture of something!?

Fine. Sheesh.

I finished embroidering "LOVE" on my love and peas piece for my quilt. I had a list somewhere of all of the embellishments that I was going to put around each little embroidery, but now I can't find it. I am pretty sure I was going to couch some spirals, but I can't remember what color I was going to use for the smaller thread.

I know I said I was going to post cupcakes, but I fail at counting weeks. I need to make them next week.

Bunny foo foo!

A bunny foo foo is a mixed alcoholic beverage that one drinks out of a chocolate rabbit. But that isn't the reason for my subject. I haven't tried one yet. Because, you know......... I've been busy making things!!!11ONE!

Liiiiiike.... Sangria!!

 Doesn't that count???

No? What about..... a cute video of my cat?!?



No!?!? Well, I guess it is kind of dark.

Ok, well, to confess..... I did actually make something. I'm just not proud of it. It's kind of lumpy and creepy, and kind of awkward. (like me!)

You probably don't want to see it....

...

...

...

...ok I guess you do.

Awww... poor bunnykins. He's just misunderstood! He's actually kind of growing on me. I hated him a little last night, because I was sooooo close to being finished when I realized that I totally messed up because I didn't read the directions. I posted my frustrations on my twitter last night. Le sigh.

 

But this bunny seriously needs some new eyes! The buttons are kind of creepy.

On Thursday I am probably going to post cupcakes.

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.

Sneak peek: Spring!

It's been pretty busy here, not really in a crafty sense, but in a "Holy cow I have so much to do in less than three hours!" sort of sense.

A couple months ago, I ordered a Tyler Wentworth and Jane doll because..... ??? I don't remember. I'm sure I had something awesome planned. But I thought of something better. Something cooler. Something that I have managed to remember.

The four seasons! Well, the four seasons, personified! With dolls! In pretty dresses! :D

I've already planned out how the outfits will look, start working on patterns, acquired two more dolls, you know. Important things. Things that keep me from blogging... >_>

Anyway, to make you feel better I've included a sneak peek at Spring, since her dress is approaching being finished. (It just needs some more embroidery and flowers!) Here is Winter modeling it, since I don't have Spring in my possession yet:


Also coming up: some more paintings, my first quilt, and perhaps OOAK Barbies as Jem and the Holograms.
