Have I mentioned that I have some really freakin’ cool new friends since I moved to Huntsville? This is what my newest crafty bud, Misty Granade, finished last night:
Bask in the awesomeness with me! You should also go to her and her husband’s blog. They are hilarious and have great kid stories, [...]

So I’ve finished two crafty Christmas presents! Woot! However, being that they are supposed to be surprises for family members that come to my blog occasionally, I’m afraid I can’t show you guys quite yet. I’m such a tease.
BUT! I will give you a small clue as to what the current [...]

Sorry, foodies. No cookie recipe this week. I am going to be over at my Mother in law’s house, picking her brain about sewing patterns. I am making out Halloween costumes this year. I don’t know WHAT I was thinking when I agreed to do that since the only thing I’ve [...]

I’ve seen my “Home Is Where the Controller Is” pattern pop up in other places! Two people have made cross stitches of their own using the pattern. They did beautiful jobs, too. Check it out!
Terracruz in the Craftster Forums. Ironically, she got more viewers than I did originally. Oh well!

I’ve made another guitar strap! This one features characters from Joust.

This one is for one of Alex’s jamming buddies, who also happens to be his boss. Now listen to this: Alex works for this guy who likes to come into his office and play guitar with him. Alex keeps his second guitar [...]

This was definitely the most fun cross stitch I have ever done. Alex said he wanted “retro-fabulous” colors, and these are the ones he chose. I was a little skeptical at first, but it turned out great! And of course he loves it.
There are more pictures over [...]

Anyone that cross stitches, knows about those little plastic-ey wrappers that come wrapped around the threads. One is useful, it has the color information. The other is just to keep the threads together. During the last weeks, I’ve accumulated quite a few of these little doohickies and decided I should do something [...]

Sooo I left my thimble at home so I couldn’t finish the Space Invaders guitar strap like I promised on Friday.
However!
I did finally finish the project I’d been working on for over two weeks. I mentioned my bud Will’s birthday a while back, and I was hoping to have this finished in time, but [...]

So my apologies for not having a finished craft with this post. I’m getting ready to head out of state for the yearly family reunion, and I have of course, put everything off until the last minute. So here’s a teaser for ya:

My husband has learned that if there is something in the [...]
