Since most of my crafts were gifts or were supposed to be gifts I haven’t posted about them. But I have been using my new craft space a lot! I love it. Best rearranged I’ve done to my room yet. So, I know you’ve all been waiting anxiously for an update. Here you go!
I found a project with scrabble pieces so I’ve been looking for images for that. This is what my desk looked like for a good week or two:
I finally found some images I like and I glued them onto scrabble pieces. I put a glaze on them and now I’m waiting for them to dry. They can be used for keychains, necklaces, phone charms. Whatever you fancy. If this works out well I have one in mind for all you girls
The other project I’ve been working on was a stained glass mirror for my secret santa Weifers. I really like how it came out. And for some reason I always associate her with pandas. Don’t ask me why, I just do. So I added my own little flair:
I really like how it came out. And it shipped well too! Yay! I hope you like the face, there were a few to choose from (I painted the face), but I thought that was the cutest.
Then I made this wall hanging.
Unfortunately, this picture does not do it justice. I was thinking of giving it as a gift, but I really enjoy it. Now i just need to decide where to hang it up. And since I was still learning how to cut glass I had a lot of little pieces left……..
so I made pendants.
Let me know if you want one for a necklace or something. It’s beautiful glass and would make a very pretty pendant. If you see a color you like, but want it in a different shape let me know. I think I’m going to try and shape a teardrop one next.
Finally, for my last Christmas gift project I made some laptop cases for my mom. I’ve got to tell you, I fought with the sewing machine for two hours before giving up, driving to the sewing store, and got them to show me what I was doing wrong. Sooooo frustrating, but once it was working it was a lot of fun.
I really like the pattern on the outside of the second one. I have some of the fabric left and I can’t wait to make something else with it. I was also crafty once I figured out how to make a case and made one with a pattern on the inside and the outside.
So Anna, since I’ve had practice now your’s is going to be awesome! I just need the dimensions of your laptop again. I forgot them.
So there’s my craftiness. I’m very excited. I really want to start drawing again actually. I had a dream last night that I could draw really well with a ballpoint pen. I was disappointed when I woke up and realized I didn’t actually have any of those drawings.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
