More Perlers! - SamRI

Finally! Summer has started and I have DONE SOMETHING CRAFTY! Here are three items and one "character" in Super Mario World! More to come! (...soon as I buy more black beads)

SUMMER IS HERE - SamRI

Summer is here and I can finally start crafting again!!! Expect moar Perler bead creations, possible x-stitch (though...it'd be the same as Mochi's) Pixel cookies? Who knows? ALL?! You'll just have to wait and find out!

2nd bubble done, project at 60% completion!! - mochi

Woohooooo!! Just Bob and one more bubble till it's finished!! I've decided that the centering will probably fix itself when the towel is finished. Also, I wanted to make it seem like the dinosaurs and bubbles were kinda floating around like they do in the game, so I didn't bother centering it that way either.

In other news, I've been doing an average of 30 hours a week at Candybar (www.candybarsf.com), and it seems that 3 days off isn't enough time for me to get motivated to be crafty...but my new roommate, Hannah, and of course SamRI have been encouraging (that includes a trip to Michaels that was almost an ordeal, and talking to Sam for the first time in ages).

Anyway, future projects include finishing up the towel, dinking around with my new soldering iron, getting back into knitting, trying to think up new Perler and cross stitch projects, and creating a dessert buffet for a friend's bridal shower. Stay tuned!

School almost over...crafts can start up again.

So school has taken it's toll with with 1.5 weeks left, I need to pass my classes. Which means mucho mucho mucho homework, and mucho studying...which is exactly what I have been doing the past month, which is why I have not crafted anything. BUT! once school is done, I'll have plently of free time, AND $$$ so I can buy stuff to do crafty things with...keep watching!

Bob is Complete!! - mochi

Is it me, or does his left eye look a little retarded? In any case, Bob is finished, and I'm so happy he came out okay. Unfortunately, I didn't get the centering right, so I was thinking of adding Bob's and Bub's names next to them to fix the problem...not sure how I'm going to do it exactly, all I know is that it's going to be going vertical. I just don't know if I should orient the lettering so it reads top to bottom, or just turn it 90 degrees. Blah. Sorry, I'm probably not making sense. >.< Anyway, I should be getting to bed...Human Resources Management certification exam tomorrow...egh. Good night, world.

Shadow Box Complete! - SamRI

So, starting late at night, and finishing even later at night. My NES controller shadowbox/something is complete! I have a great idea for a set/series....though the logistics will be hard. The flash messes with the white...it looks much better in person :) Now for sleep..and tests, and school..and dentists, tomorrow morning..

I finished the bubble! - mochi

...and that's all I got done... haha. It's been busy busy busy bee over on my part of the coast. In the past week, I flew home to the Bay from Seattle, went through my first week of non-kitchen classes, been slowly cleaning up my room (it's hard to see the progress when you look at it, but it's there..), took two midterms, made two kinds of chocolate Easter eggs (peanut butter cream cheese and coconut cream cheese) and maple carrot cupcakes with maple cream chese icing (topped with green coconut flakes and jelly beans to look like Easter eggs), scored a job at Candybar, went to an Easter Sunday brunch at a friend's and ate LOADS of yummy food, two short homework assignments, and a small fraction of my laundry up until I had to go to school today. But rest assured, as I watch Jack Bauer traipse around kicking terrorist ass tonight I will be continuing work on the stitching and maybe even some Perler stuff. Yay!

Btw...having a DVR rocks my socks...now I can catch up on House and whatever else I miss when I'm in class or being spacey! Woo!!

I'll post pictures after tonight's crafty-time..
