Theme for January

Since I haven't heard from Lanee' and Zethan went last month, and our new member is just learning the ropes, I'll go ahead and pick this month's theme.

New Year's Eve party hats, accessories and decorations.
And here is mine.
I love snoods. They keep my hair covered on a bad hair day, they are a lot of fun to make and wear, and you can make them to match your outfits.  I used to make them for an opera singer that had long hair. She wore them all the time and they became her signature.
I like to add a drawstring to mine to make them adjustable. I picked green with sparkles because that goes with Christmas, New Year's Even, Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's Day.

I can't wait to see what the rest of you come up with.

Spider Decor for My Last Day of October

I wanted to make something that would help the family get into the Halloween/ fall spirit.  It's just about time for us to bring out all our winter grear- beanies and scarves, coats and mittens!  I do enjoy the cold weather and snuggling up with good books while keeping warm and cozy near the heater.

My October spider doll, which will sit next to the jack-o-lantern on the table, or candy bowl for the trick or treaters that may come by is dressed and ready to go for this lovely season with a top hat and scarf!

She's Eco-friendly too!  Rather than go out and get a whole new bag of polyester stuffing for her, I went through the bag of clothes we have set aside for donation and pulled out a few shirts and things that may not be great for giving and used it for stuffing.  It's not much, but it's one less thing in our landfills, ya know?!

Make a Candy Corn Hat

I just finished this and two other Halloween tutorials that are on my Youtube stream. Happy Halloween!

Hey! What ever happened to your Punky Panda??

Here it is!

I've been re-working this punky panda thing for days. The idea that i had before just didn't translate well, so I decided to go this way instead.

The Pink stuff on top is the start of a wildly colored mohawk. It's still not finished- will be when I figure out exactly how much mohawk is a enough.
