I received from noodle-bug earlier in the week - sorry I haven't posted pics yet.  It was a bit hectic between work, and our move meeting (our entire unit is moving to another floor in a month), and then DH and I got a new dog from the Humane Society, so it has been a bit busy (oh, and Jim's still renovating the main floor).

I love them - she sent me a triad of swear hoops, so this is a mature image posting.  They are cute small hoops with polka dot fabric.  I can't wait to display them on my craft room wall.

Inspired by the style of River from the Space Western Firefly. I created a skirt with a floral pattern. Japanese haikus normally feature nature. I was primarily inspired by Masaoka Shiki

Brief Description: I've had the fabric for this skirt for a while, and to try and force spring to happen I decided to turn the fabric into a skirt.

I've wanted to finish this since my previous skirt was damaged at an event. For this I make a Red skirt hemmed and  elastic waist instead of drawstring like the previous one.

[Challenge/Battle/Alert:]

Challenge/Battle/Alert: may's multimedia - blue
Team/Ninja: team who must not be named
Project Geekdom (if any): Roller Coasters/Cedar Point
Bonus Points: nerdy
Project Name: Roller coaster bracelets/anklets
Project Page Link (if available):
Brief Description: So, one of my major nerdy things I love is roller coasters and Cedar Point (so much that I got a platinum pass just so I can go to Cedar Point and Kings Island, my "home" amusement park). Two of my favorite coasters happen to be blue. The blue/white/yellow bracelet is inspired by GateKeeper, Cedar Point's brand new coaster that I've been nerding about since they announced it last September and I actually wore it it the park a couple of days ago. The metallic bracelet is inspired by Millennium Force, one of the best coasters there at Cedar Point and one I can go the whole way with my arms in the air. Eventually, I want to make bracelets of all my favorite coasters (which I'm having problems finding a red and brown that's not embroidery floss).
Project Picture:

I hope everyone isn't tired of seeing wall pockets because I've made one more---the last for awhile.  It's very simply made & took only a few minutes to complete.  I laid a crocheted doily on the fresh clay & rolled a dowel across it lightly so it left an impression in the clay.  I curved the overlapping edge, twisted the bottom & used newspaper to help it keep it's shape until it dried.  A stain brings out the texture.  It was a gift for a friend's 90th birthday.

OMG!!! I thought I posted pics of the super adorable stuffies that gotgrey sent me, but I hadn't!!!!  I received last week sometime.  They are already all through the house.  We knew what we were sending eachother, except one thing that gotgrey made as a surprise  to my one son, Aidan.  And it turns out, that was the most loved item!!!!  He LOVES it!!! Hes named it and brings it everywhere with him!!  Anyways......on to the pics
