It looks like I forgot to post some of the stuff I’ve been making in the last few months. I’ve been adding the photos on my facebook but I haven’t been sharing. It’s been a busy crafty year!
I finally took the plunge and signed up for swaps on the craftster.org forum. I have done 3 so far & I just signed up for a 4th one. They were Comics & Graphic Novel swap, Everything to do with Mario Bros. swap, and Coraline swap. I wasn’t happy with what I did for the Coraline swap.
On top of that I made a few Birthday gifts and 2 things for me. Right now, I’m working on a ton of Christmas gifts. I can post a few because either, my blog doesn’t get read by them or they already know what I’m making. That’s going to be for another post though.
I made 2 Adios Tokidoki etch glasses for Debra. I bought a few things for her from Comic Con but also added the glasses.
Meghan got a cross stitch that reads “Queen of the Kitchen” with crown. Metallic floss is a pain to work with.
For the Mario Bros Swap, I made my partner 2 Yoshi Egg etched glasses. I also included a tray with Baby Mario and Yoshi on it.
For myself, I hand carved a Totoro stamp. I love it! I made it because I read about letterboxing and want to try it. That’s my stamp to leave in books that I find. Now to make the time and hunt for some!
I re discovered my love for perler beads and the first thing I did was a bunch of Super Mario bad guys. You have Shy Guy, Boo, Bullet Bill, Bob-omb, Blooper, and Cheep-Cheep. Boo is made out of Glow in the Dark beads. I framed them and they will hang on my wall. Just need to figure out where.
Now back to work I go!
