Technological challenges, Homemade Yarn Swift, Weddings, Etc.
Crafty, handy, creative, smart, but technologically challenged
Ok, I really need to take some sort of web design-type class! I have no idea how to do a photo gallery or create a project directory or folder on this blog, despite extensive reading in the help section. I've had to rely on hubby, who is busy with his own stuff to help me with this one, and with my other website! In due course, I suppose.
Yarn Swift
Anyway, hubby finally converted the instructions for my homemade yarn swift to pdf . I am so proud of it -- came up with my own plans and completed the entire execution. Anyway, for my knitting group and anyone else that wants to make one, here it is! Homemade Yarn Swift Instructions
If you make one, I'd love to see the fruits of your labor!
Linh's Wedding
I'm very very excited that my good friend Linh is getting married this Fall. Furthermore, I am so honored and elated that she asked me to make her wedding veil for her. She gave me "artist freedom" do to what I want for her, and I'm going to make her proud! I'm planning to use organza, not that cheap-o easy to rip tulle crap and embellish it with either rhinestones or Austrian crystals. I haven't decided how I'm going to make the part that attaches to her head.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
I just finished a busy busy month, personal and work. I donated 3 purses that I made for a nonprofit fundraiser, and finished a capelet out of my own hand-dyed yarn. Very proud. The month is not over, and I have more project requests to do for friends, in addition to the ever growing list of home improvement projects. If only I could devote full time to my hobbies...one can dream.
More exciting things on the March agenda: I'm hosting a Dyeing and Knitting party for some of my knitting friends this weekend. Hubby and I are invited to a cool murder mystery dinner party. Some colleagues and I are having a girls' night - this month's cooking theme is Mexican pozole (yum!). I'm looking forward to this work related training I'll be attending.
