i'm not really the new-years-resolution-making-type, but one of the girls from an online commuity i am part of suggested a challenge to complete 50 crafty/creative projects in 2007. since i feel as though the only creative output i had in 2006 was the 5000-odd photos i took, i jumped on board.
so here is my first project - something to keep my wrists/hands warm over this crazy long winter i am experiencing (i feel like it should be warming up already and its not even half way over).
i didn't use a pattern - i just bought some wool and the appropriate sized needles and went for it. i'm quite happy with how they turned out.
unfortunately, i have hardly any crafting supplies here in london, so without buying new things, i am basically restricted to badgemaking, scrapbooking (although, i guess this is something i should get working on with all those photos) and other paper crafts. i have my sewing machine but no fabric. oh, hang on, i have the fabric scraps from the school musical costumes i made, which unfortunately i got no photos of :(
so project #2 is a hat out of the leftover wool from my gloves and just writing this post has given me ideas for other projects (even if it turned a bit rambly).

I reckon winter is just starting, and as we are travelling to some colder places then London soon I reckon some more winter related projects wouldn't go astray.
ReplyDeleteWhat crafting supplies would you like me to send you
ReplyDeletesee, the problem is, if you send me stuff, it costs a fair chunk of money in postage.
ReplyDeletei had planned to go through and pull some stuff out to bring back with me but didn't get around to it.
i really need to focus on my photos anyway and i have plenty of stuff for that (for now)
