Duct Tape bags

When  I seen this technique on line well of course I had to try it,  A bag made with duct tape? ok I'm game.
All you need is some fabric, duct tape, staple gun ( oh yea  no sewing required) and some sharp scissors and I do mean sharp as duct tape can be a terror  without sharp scissors.

You basically cut your design, duct tape  the back of the fabric as this will be your lining and staple together pretty simple.  These make great project bags.

From crochet to digital art

I love playing with digital art almost as much as I love crochet and knitting.  I decided to play some  so I took a picture of a crochet scarf  I had made  and then opened up my photo editing  program and began to play.  The results were so much fun and truly unique and one of a kind

The snake that almost became road kill

When I knit or crochet  I like big hooks  and big needles  and chunky yarn.  Seeing this snake and how cute it was I thought I have to make that.  Now the pattern calls for a size 1 needle but I used a 2  and found I had the perfect yarn for this project.  It took a while using a size 2 needle to get this snake knitted  and then there was the hat to make.  Once finished  I layed the snake on the table and feeling like a surgeon I begin the sewing process with wire wrapped in batting.  The hat is a little floppier than I like  and I think I choose the wrong buttons for the eyes and will change that  but here is the snake  that was almost road kill

I really don't know why

It seems to me as if  I get further behind on blogging,  it is like I just don't take the time  or because real life get's in the way sometimes  and then the next thing you know  it has been weeks  since my last post.  Well it is a new year  so maybe I can get better with this.
I have been doing a lot of crocheting and some knitting. Above  I bought some of the fleece yarn  and wondered what to make. Decided on a basket weave muff with fleece lining and matching fingerless gloves.

This yarn is so soft and warm  and the muff can be worn around the neck.
