Dalek costume

I am putting Jacob's Dalek costume on here since it is crafty.  It took me four hours of fast and furious sewing to create this thing.  It is made out of felt and I built it from the feet up.  Not very smart I know but I wasn't sure how I was going to make the head so I figured I could think about it while I sewed the rest.  He needed it for a party at 630 I started sewing at 230 and he walked in the door of his party at 637 originally he had been planning to attend the party as the Doctor.  He wasn't going to be a dalek until halloween so I figured I had a couple of days to work.  I created it from a picture online no pattern just winging it with equal amounts of prayers and stupidity.  So I guess what I am saying is be kind. hehe.  All in all I think that it turned out pretty cute.  He is happy and I am glad.

The only thing that I made on Zach's costume is his sonic screwdriver and that is just a screwdriver some duct tape and a mini flashlight.  Craig won't let the real one out of the box so we had to improvise since no one wants to carry it in a box.  Who are we kidding he wouldn't even let them play with it in the box:)



Bracelets

I have discovered that I like bracelets just recently so I thought that I would try and make my own.  These are just very, very basic.  I liked it though and think that I will be branching out and onto bigger and better.  I know most people got into beading years ago.  What can I say.

Strapped bags

So these are my bags with shoulder straps added.  I didn't do the third one since the closest match I could get for the webbing was the disney red and I decided that I didn't really like the way that it looked.  The khaki bag I had to use brown webbing that matched the leather decorational straps on the front of the purse since that was the closest color that I could get to anything on the bag.  Overall I do think that I like the way that both of these turned out.  These two bags also both zip shut and the other bag did not. 

Not stamping but kind of Crafty?

So our trip to Florida is quickly approaching.  And I have decided i don't want to take my old grey backpack to carry around but I also haven't been able to find a bag that I like.  So I have decided to add a long strap to go over my neck and shoulder to some bags that I already have and love.  Then I will decide which one to take.

So here they are.

I figure they have to be finished by tomorrow so hopefully I will post back soon with the finished bags.



Birthday card

I started out with something completely different in mind.  While I don't love the way that this turned out I don't hate it either.  The green and orange is a color combo that I like right now.

You make me smile 2

This is just the same card as yesterday same colors and everything but I swapped the one paper out and did a green ribbon.  I like this one but do like the all pink ones just a little better.

You make me smile!

I think I have been on a role.  A friend gave me the card that I copied to make this one.  I love it it's so cute.  I made extras cause I am running really low on my stash of cards so here are the two versions.  Same papers just swapped the ribbons out.  When I first gathered up supplies to make it I thought I would like the satin ribbon best.  Once it was finished I think I like the dot ribbon finished the best.
