Crochet Obsession

Help!

 Anyone out there live in Minneapolis and love to crochet! I am stuck and need help!

Urban Legend

Vintage Bead Jewelry

My most recent favorite jewelry seller is urban legend. Her pieces amaze me with the color combinations. Very simple, yet gorgeous!

I Feel Old and head injuries just aren't funny if you are on the receiving end....

So I slipped on the ice, legs flew in the air, hands trapped by all the bags of crap I was carrying....and landed on my head.

ON.MY.HEAD!

I have a concussion and cannot get up without feeling insanely dizzy. I also may have damaged my rotater cuff as an added bonus. YYAAAAAAYYYYYYY!

 Ok, I'm done now.

 

Art-a-Week

Each week I will choose and art or craft that I have never done before and:

• try it
• write about it
• photograph it
• post it. 

Art-a-Week.

So far these are things I want to learn about but have never done before:

Paper Cutting
Encaustic Painting
Watercolor Painting
Scoubidou (Ok, not really art, but some are pretty elaborate)
Weaving
Crochet
Macrame (hey, some of the new designs are pretty cool)
Quilting
Sewing
Papier Mache
Glass Making

Geekery at it's BEST

LOVE  LOVE  LOVE  LOVE  

The MST3K at Pica Pica Press is such a unique idea, I LOVE IT! Check out the shop here!

Someday when I am rich and famous I will buy one of everything in his shop!

I love this shop because of it's simplicity! I do love all the crazy designs out there, but sometimes it is nice to see some clean, simple designs.

Help

Gah!

I just really do not want to re-design my blog myself! Craptastic! If there is anyone out there who wants to trade crafty goodness for some design work....let me know. I already have a logo, I just need someone to set it all up and make the page look nifty. I used to love to do that, but no time now.

I want to start a new thing here at THE JUNK IN MY TRUNK....I have not thought up a good name for it yet, but I want to try a new type of art of craft every week. I will try it, write about it and photograph it. It could get interesting and moderately hilarious here at the Smith house.....

I need some serious design work on my blog....alas, no time! I am too busy trying to list all of my old stock button jewelry on Etsy....time to get rid of it all! I plan to have some huge sales.

I'm Back! I have been running an elf hospital in my dining room. These Elves were in need of repair and some "kitsching" up! I will be selling them on Etsy soon!
