A bouquet of roses made of bacon?! AND instructions on how to make them?!

A vegetarian’s worst nightmare and a romantic carnivore’s dream. This is quite possibly too good to be true.

What are your thoughts?

Click the picture for instructions on how to make them!

I needed a break from a rough week, so I designed this baby last night. WOO! I can’t decide if I’m going to sell the hat or just the pattern or just keep it all to myself. Haha

Taking a break from travelling to geek out on crafty cats.

A handmade Christmas

As a poor college student who happens to be really good with fiber arts, I decided to knit and crochet Christmas presents for my family this year. I worked for like… 24 hours straight and still didn’t finish my dad’s mittens, but they’ll be done soon!!

My family was very pleased with my baller gifts

Apple coasters for my mom

A knitted earflap hat for Johnny

A beard hat for Mike, the shoveling king

They couldn't decide which one they liked best haha

My friend Kathleen loooves her cat Mitzi. So, for Christmas, I made Mitzi a hat to go along with her kitten mittons. And then I made a hat for Kathleen that matches

For Mitzi

For Kathleen

Merry Christmas, Johnny.

I asked my college-aged brother Johnny what he wanted me to make him for Christmas. He said “surprise me.”

SURPRISE!

Not too shabby, if I do say so myself. Hopefully my friend in Canada enjoys it

Also, as a disclaimer, I did not realize these were Packers colors until after I was about halfway through the first yellow stripe. Hopefully my fellow Bears fans can forgive me.

KNITTING MACHINE ESCAPADES

YAY

I started playing with my knitting machine! WOO! It took a little getting used to, but I decided to make my first project: a coffee sleeve cozy.

It was kind of a bust:

Proportion fail.

Hopefully my next project will work out a little better?

Pacman Crafts

So, last week my friend and I decided we were feeling crafty. After two hours of sifting through craft books at Barnes and Nobles, we still had no idea what we wanted to do. We then did four or five laps around Michael’s and decided to do some fuse bead art! OH SNAP! I haven’t done that since I was a little Annie.

My attention span lasted long enough to make this dolphin:

I didn't even take the time to pick out a uniform color. RANDO BONANZAAA!!!

My friend cranked out airplanes and robots and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Last night I got my dork on and made a Pacman-themed set as well as a baller Mario.

Progress

Literally the second after I took that last picture, I dropped my camera on the peg board. Fml.

EL FIN! Sitting on my fridge

I got a little carried away.

Perhaps this will be my next crafting excursion:

CROCHETED PACMAN

Obviously the above was done by a n00b. A purple ghost? Please. I could make those better.
