I gottt:
-stitch markers.
-candy!
-skull fingerless gloves (I LOVE LOVE LOVE them) from my wist.
-tetris magnets like the ones I was jealous of earlier.
-perler beads for projects, and so I can attempt to make the perler bead thing on my wist.
-a black and white heart necklace!




Thank you greenapples!! You're amazing.

Pretty sure I love my secret crafster..even if she's not so secret to me anymore 

Here is the package I recieved today:

and the heart bracelet!

So, I've made these before. Quite a bit of them, actually. I have like, five sitting around my room randomly somewhere. But here's what I've made in the past day or so between sleep and work, and the ones I'm most proud of!

heart:


flowers (might give away to a swap partner):


peace sign (might give to friend for part of her christmas present):

I'm not so sure that the pictures would turn out as well on a disposable, but...

here's some examples of previous photography:







(don't mind the date on that one..)

i'm quite proud of the star hanging off this thing.
Seriously, so proud! haha. I guess that happens when you make your very first "charm". Yes.

Here it be:

ohh how i love my secret crafster. thank you!!!
I recieved today.. but my batteries are dead on my digital camera and i need to do a major cleaning spree because I can't find my battery charger. 

here's a crappy picture taken by a camera phone, though (which definitely doesn't do the bracelet justice, it's soooo amazing!!! I've been wearing it since I've recieved it. and mmm reeses) Once I get a better picture, i'll be sure to post it.:

I made these awhile ago, but forgot to post them.
The quality of the picture sucks, but whatever.

this was inspired by two other people's posts, with the whole triple chain effect. The heart beads were a one-of-a-kind find at the bead store by my house, and I'm so happy with how it turned out.

I decided to try out clay. Turns out I'm really NOT good at sculpting things like some of the people on here... so I grabbed my niece and nephew's playdoh things and made some stuff.
