clocking in just shy of 75 hours, the quilt top is done!! I'll be heading to the store tomorrow after work to get the batting and backing fabric so I can start trying my hand at tying this thing together, but for now I am simply basking in the glory of getting the design completed

and now it's bedtime

Green Rock Tortoise was this week’s project. Different from my normal miniatures, but applying many of the same skills. Used a glue gun for the first time as well. Hope my wife appreciates it on the 25th!

We finally have all the materials to make ball plushies. We're gonna crochet them. We're going to start with crocheting little simple things like hearts and stars, coasters and bracelets and scrunchies or stuff like that we also want to make plushies so we're going to start pretty easily on milking balls before we do any of the big stuff, hard stuff. We're watching beginner videos and we're going to be doing them.

Love the contrast between the Americans’ “Apollo” and the Soviets’ “Sputnik.” You got the Americans naming their rocket after a Greek god trying to communicate the grandness and importance of this rocket. And you got the Soviets naming their rocket “fellow traveler.” Like a friend you go on an  adventure with together. This rocket is our little friend lol 

#i think its cute #they took the mars rover approach #humanizing the space craft making it cute making us (me) project emotions onto it #the soviets also used imagery of laika in propaganda a lot #which is pretty fucked up imo #but if i grew up in the soviet union that shit wouldve definetly worked on me lmao #the narrative of a heroic little dog going to space and being honored by the whole country #as cruely wrong as it is its very appealing #the soviets knew what they were doing man they didnt reveal how laika really died until like. the 2000s #bc they knew people really cared about that dog #they liked the narrative around her

In the past, for Christmas presents, I have made Faux Stain glass panels. It is done with a paint, and this foam lines to copy the look of the lead, or a 'liquid leading' that is the black raised lines for keeping in the paint. Also created on plexiglass, and not real glass. Looks really neat, and family has enjoyed it. Sometimes I made person specific images, other times I made things in general that people might like.

Honestly, the cactus was TOO CUTE, so this is the one I kept for myself. It always sits in my window. I got the original paint when I worked at Walmart and the Art section was getting a remodel and all the stuff that was rotating out was on 50%. The ladies that worked there, knew I loved that stuff. So, I ended up buying a good deal, and I don't have buying remorse. As it's been over 10 years, and most of it has come in handy for work and other things. So, love it. As well as being something I am thinking about selling. Though need to find the right place, since Tumblr says Etsy has gone weird. Though an upgraded version, compared to the panels here. Which deserves it's own post.

(Long post, sorry y'all)

A little more than two years ago now, my grandmother passed away. She and my grandpa had moved down to my home town a few years before so we could take care of them. I brought them groceries once a week, helped them write checks, fixed tvs, and found lost things. I was really close with my grandma.

In addition to her hilarious personality and dry wit, one of my favorite things about her was that she was a painter and a crafter like me! She used to crochet, and I took her to the craft store a couple of times so she could get more yarn and books on crochet. But her arthritis and the shaking in her hands kept getting worse, so she eventually had to stop.

She kept her most recent project, a granny square blanket, safely packed away in a plastic bin. She told all of us she was going to finish it one day.

Her hands never got better, and when she got sick, and we found out it was cancer, she rapidly deteriorated.

After she passed, I went to work helping my mom clean out my grandparents apartment so we could move my grandpa in with her. In our frantic cleaning, I found that bin again:

DOZENS of granny squares, dozens of half used skeins. I asked my mom what she wanted me to do with it, and she said she didn't care. I set it aside and later took it home.

Maybe a month later, that tumblr post about the Loose Ends Project was going around. It felt like a sign--I was never going to learn to crochet in order to finish my grandmother's blanket. But they might be able to help!

So I filled out the interest form. They got back to me SUPER quick. And maybe 2 weeks later, I was paired with volunteer in my state (only 2 hours away!) and the box of yarn, granny squares, and my grandmother's crochet hook were in the mail. That was at the end of January this year.

Over the next couple of months, my "finisher" emailed me regular updates on her progress, and asked me questions on my preferences for how she constructed the final blanket.

At the end of August, the blanket was done!

I had always intended the blanket to be a gift for my mother. So I cleaned it up, put it in the only bag I had big enough to fit it, and drove to my mom's. I gave the blanket to her and she was gobsmacked. I explained to her all about Loose Ends, and how someone volunteered to finish the piece for us. She was speechless. (I was quite pleased with this, because I am not the best at giving gifts, so this was a pretty exciting reaction!)

She said that it was the most thoughtful gift she had ever been given. She said "your grandma would love this". To which I replied, "yeah, I know she really wanted to finish it a couple of years ago". But that was when my mom dropped the bomb of a century on me--she told me that my grandma had started making those granny squares OVER 30 YEARS AGO. She had started the blanket when my grandpa was staying in the hospital, but that was back when my mom was younger than I am now! My grandma had packed them all away, planning on finishing it, when my grandpa was sent home from the hospital. Then it went from house to house, from condo in Chicago to their apartment in my hometown. All that time and my grandma had wanted to finish it, but couldn't. First because she was busy, then because she forgot how to do it, then because of her arthritis, and then because of the cancer. My mom said she had given up on expecting my grandma to finish it. 

She said I brought a piece of her childhood with her mom out of the past.

And really, all of this is to say, if you have seen or heard about the Loose Ends Project and have an uncompleted project or piece from a loved one who has passed away--these are your people. They were so kind and treated my project with such care. That box probably would have been found by my own grandkids one day if I hadn't heard about Loose Ends.

Five stars, absolutely worth it!

(From what I understand, you can sign up to volunteer too! If you have time to share, it might be worth checking out!)

Hobby Hoppers Express: Decoupage & You

The Hobby: Decoupage (French for "cutting out" ): This centuries old hobby and art form involves using tools such as a brayer, scissors, synthetic polymer brush, sealer, crafting knife, burnisher, cutouts (usually paper but fabric can be used too), and lots of glue. You glue your paper cutouts onto a surface of your chose using a variety of tools and techniques, and then apply the needed sealer for the project.

The Book: Stuck On Murder (A Decoupage Mystery #1) by Lucy Lawrence

The Book Blurb:

"In the small New England town of Morse Point, Brenna Miller glosses over her painful past by watching her decoupage students create eye-catching projects out of cutouts, glue, and varnish. But when the mayor's body is found stuffed in a trunk at Morse Point Lake, it's up to Brenna to clear her enigmatic landlord's name of murder-before his fate is signed, sealed and delivered."

The Project: Decoupage Flowerpot

My Book Thoughts:

I got Stuck on Murder because I have cozy mysteries and to be honest I had never heard of decoupage until checking out this book. Yet I gave great tips about decoupage projects so much so that I wanted to try my hand in this super old hobby that even Marie Antoinette did from time to time.

I checked Lazy Crafternoon out from my local library and I love how cute the projects are and how many I already have a lot of the supplies for and I will say the crafts are very late 90s/early 2000s.

Hi, Vanna here. I have submitted to the strange authority of Xenforo's image hosting system, which demands that if I want gallery items to appear in proper order, I will have to upload them back to front.

As such, welcome to the last few page's of Animedia Magazine's September 1997 supplemental Duelist Bible, translated by Nagumo and edited by me!

Anyway

I made a pillow!

It took four months of non-stop cross-stitching, but I finally finished a pattern I bought from @8pxl a little bit ago, and tonight in a bizarre burst of productivity I finally sewed a back to it and stuffed it into a cute little pillow! It ended up being pretty much perfectly sized for a neck pillow, but I'm a bit worried about it getting dirty that way.

I highly recommend the patterns from 8xpl's shop, there are SO many gorgeous ones to choose from. I might end up getting another one soon o3o

#cross stitch #embroidery #fiber art #fiber crafts #cross stitching #xstitch #needlepoint #needlecraft #I went so long without drawing because I KNEW if I put this aside for anything I'd nver pick it up again #because that's how I usually am with cross stitch #but I finished it about a month ago and todday for some reason was just the day that I spontaneously finished the rest of thee project #I would have liked to do a nicer pillow #like with that piping kindd of stuff along the edge? #but if I actually waited to get some of that it'd never happen #so super basic straight lines around the edges flip insid out stuff an stitch down the opening #no zippeer #it will NOT be easy to clean so I need to be careful with it #but it is absolutely a perfect neck pillow on the back of my couch right now
