So I made a Plumbob last year(sometime before Halloween for a halloween costume/convention cosplay) based of this tutural http://www.instructables.com/id/LED-Light-Up-Sims-PlumbBob-That-green-pylon-above/ The plumbob is made with small round wood dowels glued in two seperate pieces with fabric on the inside for a see through effect.

I want to wear it as part of a Sims costume for a convention coming up in two weeks but I am at a stand still. The Plumbob is lightweight but too heavy for headband so I bought a small harness and have a medium sized round wood stick attached it so the Plumbob should stay up the problem is I can not get the Plumbob attached to the stick. I have tried a glue gun(the Plumbob fell over), some Crayola mold magic around it and the stick(the clay fell apart), and some heavy plant wire I got from walmart(Plumbob fell over again)

If anyone has any ideals on how I can get this to work I would be most appreciated.

 Made as a info board for the computer shop I work at here is a MacBook Pro chalkboard. Made using a MacBook pro screen some cardboard and a bit of chalkboard paint.

Years ago I got this huge set of 70's beads from a garage sale and last weekend I decided to take these beads and make them into a curtain for my bedroom door. I might add more to the length later on but for now its that height so my scardy dog can go through it without whimpering he cant get in.

Part of a Harry Potter pin set I made for the midnight premier of the last Harry Potter movie. They are in gryffindor colors stitched on plastic canvas with felt on the back.

I believe the other name tags said Moodblood, House Elf, and Muggle Born.

Computer Parts wall art.

So I work in a computer shop which is pretty plain except for a grateful dead poster so while organizing spare parts today I decided to make some wall art everything on the poster came from the shop and when I buy a frame (I dont think the cardboard one will hold.) it is going on the wall.

In celebration of my birthday next week (the 22 of May) I have made three Gameboy Color cross stitch magnets. They are in three diferent colors green, yellow, and purple and are stitched on plastic canvas with a magnet on the back.


I was thinking of selling some but im not sure if anyone would buy them I also have a blue color i can make.

I work at a computer store where all of the computers have science fiction names to them so when I decided to decorate the notebook I use at work I had to stick with that theme. So I made a Tardis notebook.



It is made out of some cardboard and a notebook I had lying around and then painted once the basic design was done.
As a general note my craft strengths lie in cross stitching not paper.

My grandmother loves playing cards she always has to bring it up when I visit her. For her 76 birthday I decided to make her a family deck of cards. Each number has a different family member associated with it and their are four pictures of each family member except for the queen cards which are group pictures.
Their are made in Photoshop and printed out on white card stock they are then laminated to stay nice when being played or looked at a million times.



Here is a full picture of all of the cards


Here is a picture of the back

I have not posted on the cross stitching forum in forever because I had to stop stitching so Ive decided to come back with a project that is not too big but depending on how far I decide to take it, it could be my version of a massive project. If you remember those DMC books where they listed every thread color so you could go through it and decide on the color you wanted to use. I am making something like that showing the thread number followed by some double cross stitches after it both in the correct color. I am starting with the basic floss and then I might move on to DMC's other types of cross stitching thread.
