I wouldn’t say multitalented. More like multiuseful. If I have a talent, it may just be photography, maybe a little talent in writing.

Here I am! This is from a couple hours ago:

Huzzah for pigtails!

And here’s some layouts I’m working on. Some are finished.  Its not every spread either.

So yeah.  It’s not my fortay and the only time I do it is when I’m with Louise.  Looks like we’ll be doing the once-a-week thing again ^-^  Yeeeup, my book will sit there for a year if I don’t have anyone to scrap with.  I really enjoy doing the minimalistic, simple layouts the best.

And I would so do it for money/trade! ^-^

Bah! I would have finished more Home Impressions design stuff but I lost some pre-made stuff and by the time I found them I ran out of steam! :-p

As always, these look a million times better in person. Especially the first two.

Imperial Song ATC and some stamping-in-progress

Oh, I just found out I like Radiohead. Correction, I LOVE Radiohead! O.O

Anyway. New finished ATC for Ria:

imperialsongatc-220x300 Imperial Song ATC and some stamping-in-progress“Imperial Song”

Named because I used Fiskar’s decorative scissors called “Imperial” and birds make songs. So there.

There’s a lot more going on in this ATC that it looks like… so… its a little bit better looking in person. I’m going to have a hard time letting go of some of these ATCs. I’ll have to make copies for myself eventually :)

I used a Home Impressions (fairy) stamp and an Autumn Leaves (swirl) stamp though you can’t really tell, and a When the Rubber Hits the Road (bird) and a Skipping Stones Designs stamp (diamonds), though you can hardly tell on that last one either.

So…. there’s that one which I know is finished and then there’s this one here which… I don’t know. What do you think guys?

“Fairy Treasures”

I think I’m still going to call it a work in progress. Its got some little bits glued on it and its really distressed looking. I never could pull the distress look off very well, even with distress ink.

Again, used Home Impressions stamp.

And here’s some other stamping I did. There’s more but they’re not all cut out and tweaked:

Home Impressions and When the Rubber Hits the Road.

They’ll prolly turn into ATCs. I hope Ria doesn’t mind a flood of ATCs. I seem to be on that kick right now :-p

Oh, and I told the Design Team I was going to make some stationary/letterhead stuff. I think I’m going to wait ’til I get some nice quality paper, maybe even colored, so I don’t have ink bleed through.

And wouldn’t some self-mailers be fun?

Anticraft Swamp Witch is finished!

witch-300x259 Anticraft Swamp Witch is finished!

Yay! I finally finished Anticraft’s Swamp Witch!

It took almost a month of working on it a bit at a time. It wouldn’t have taken so long if my yarn didn’t keep getting its panties in a bunch.

I CO 48 stitches because I mistook what the pattern said for whatever reason. I really like it though.

I used Bernat Cotton yarn and Red Heart Symphony yarn, size 19 needles.

Its perfect to keep the chill off in the room here and these nice summer evenings. I get cold easy :-p

I would -so- make another of these, but I never want to deal with Symphony yarn again. It was constantly knotting with itself and… gaw. It was just a nightmare. Also, I’d rather knit this on circulars. This was done on straights. Shhh! Don’t tell anyone!

Easy, fun, quick pattern.
