here's my attempt.

this is from awhile ago but am i am just now getting around to posting a picture. i made it as a present for my boyfriend after he saw me looking at it and begged me to make him one. i am always jealous now when i go over to his apartment and see it! heh.

i love looking at this thread so finally thought i would post pictures of my own tattoos. the color one is the most recent. it was a xmas present from my mom!



newest tattoo. a fruit bat eating a mango. this is actually an illustration from a children's book.



simple heart outline on my wrist. my first tattoo ever.



this picture is from a couple of years ago but the best one i have of my other bat tattoo. from the same children's book as the one above. it's a mother bat in flight with her baby clinging to her chest.


more to come!

i just got a sewing machine not that long ago after i bought the built by wendy sew u book.  this is the shirt from the book. i modified it a little bit by shortening the sleeves and using an elastic cuff instead of the cuff that came with the pattern as was suggested by the book. i also didn't use the top collar part so that i would have a mandarin collar instead. this was only my second sewing project. my first was the skirt from the book.



i used this fabric:

i actually made this hat over winter break back in january but never got around to posting the finished results. sorry for the poor quality photo but i only have a camera phone right now. i might try to post more pictures later. i made up my own pattern. it's just a basic hat and then i crocheted ear flaps and put button holes on them. then i sewed on some buttons so they were able to be buttoned up or unbuttoned. i hope you like it!

so this is my first post of one of my projects so i'm pretty nervous. i've been crocheting for almost 2 years now (my mom taught me how to crochet over a winter break from school) but just tried using wire today. i added some beads and came up with these earrings. i know they are nothing special but i like them. hopefully after some more practice with the wire i can keep my guage easier and make even better things!
