DIY Mask #2

I'm on a roll. Made a second mask except I used lace instead of tulle and yes i can actually see out of it. I was gonna cut out the eye holes but tried it on and was like ah ok.

Here is the tutorial link again

DIY Mask

I said I would post more. I wasn't kidding.

I was looking into getting a masquerade mask. I wasn't gonna pay what I was seeing, so the next best thing is make my own. I hunted on the net for different things and I came across a tutorial on instructables. I am now practically living on this site learning things I didn't know and adding to things I already knew. I never tried making a mask before so this was a new one. It was rather simple. it just takes awhile due to drying time.

This was the tutorial I used. I did some things different. I used a colored tulle instead of sheer and also added rhinestones. I'm working on another one right now that I'm using leftover red lace on. That one is drying now.

I know its been awhile since i posted. I will start to keep up with it more sense i have many projects going on right now and a short amount of time to get them done in. In by short amount of time I mean 5 months but who's counting..........

But this post is all about my DeviantArt page. Since I got back into drawing a friend recommended that I start a page of my own. So I did a couple of weeks ago. I'll be posting up on that as I complete things. Right now its 2 drawings I did along with some old art work I did. Here is the link. Will post more to that page and this blog soon.

Turtle knits

My mom shared this with me. This is so cute. We make stuff for cats and dogs but this lady made stuff for her turtles and it's so cute that I must share. The shark is priceless.

Pet Knits

These are a couple of things I've made for some animals I know.

First we got Stella. My cousins dog. She is wearing a fabulous scarf I made.

Next we have fluffy relaxing on a mini blanket on her windowsill to spy on the neighbors.

Will be posting up more projects soon.

Yarn harlot - awesome knitter

Yarn Harlot: Not Really a Sprint

My mom who knits a lot pointed me in the direction of this blog by the yarn harlot. Her posts are fun and informative. This specific posts is about her week long marathon making the doctor who scarf. She is an insanely fast knitter. She has YouTube videos and books and twitter! I have even asked her for her opinion on needles to get a couple weeks ago. Gave me breast advise. Buy as I need them.

Whats new

Well its been almost a year since I've posted. No time like the present they say.

Haven't been to a convention since cvi. I'll have to post about that soon.

I don't have my stormtrooper armor anymore. It did go to a good home and will be taken care of. Trust me I'm not done costuming. I still have like 9 costumes left to wear and more will be made.

Lately I've been into knitting. Yes I said it knitting. Its fun and relaxing til I have to rip it out and start from scratch. Or knot my yarn. I've made several things including a hat, scarf and arm warmer set for myself. A scarf for a dog. Yes I said it. Scarves for my cousin's girls. A hat and several burp clothes for my cousin's new baby. A mini blanket for a friend's cat. A coaster set for a friend. Next I'll be making a sweater out of my knit book knits for nerds.

I'll try to keep up with blogging more. There is a pattern I made for a hat that I will post up as well.
