Projects On The Go

So, I'm just about done the present for my pregnant friend Becca ^^ I'll finish it today. Then I can work on making a skirt for myself from some black cotton I bought, crocheting a rock climbing chalk bag for a coworker (he requested it), and crocheting a hairband for another co-worker who's birthday was Sunday. Not sure what else I'm going to work on after I get that done, but part of the fun is figuring that out ^^. I have a tonne of yarn to work with, so prolly another crochet project, but then again I have some fabric hanging around that I might work with. I have a crochet blanket in the works (I dislike crocheting blankets, too bloody tedious!) and some other random projects I have started and in various stages of being finished, maybe I should get around to finishing those... Oh well, we shall see what becomes my next project. I am planning on getting around to photographing those projects I have actually finished and creating an album on here for showcasing them, (I'll have to find someone to take pictures of me in the wearable ones, kinda hard to take a good photo of yourself wearing an article of clothing you've made XD) we'll see how long it takes for me to get that little project done. Anywho, off I go now to finish that present!

Ideas Fermenting

Hey there, so no idea what I'm doing still, but I shall persevere. I thought I could write about some of the ideas bouncing around in my head here for crafty projects. I am currently crocheting a present for a pregnant girlfriend of mine, no saying what it is on here as she may read this, but I think it'll be great when I'm done. I'm also working on a new lunch bag for work in crochet. I don't have any sewing projects in progress at the moment, but I've had a few ideas. I have bought some black cotton to make a simple skirt for work (knee length) and some crochet cotton to make a necklace I found the pattern for in the spring issue of Interweave Crochet. I'll post pictures when I'm done. ^^ I also had a brain wave to make a beach towel into a skirt for over a bathing suit come summer (warm weather is on its way hooray!) I shall try to get around to photographing the projects I have actually finished and post them here as well. Anyways, I'm going to sign off here for the night.    Ciao!
