Day 22

One of my best friends ordered a pendant off my Etsy store!  It’s my first sale (and probably my only sale) so I wanted to show my thanks.  I made her a little pouch to keep the pendant in when it’s not being worn.


It’s made of a wide satin ribbon and trimmed with lace, embroidered with 3 strands of gold thread.  First!

Day 21

Finally up to date!

Now I want to make it clear that this is not real fur.  So from here on I will call it “fuer”.
This is a fuer stole which is lined with satiny slimy material.  It’s not really slimy either… just slippy.  Tied at the front with a ribbon.  I got this pattern from somewhere on the internet.  Not sure if I like it or not, probably because my fuer was the cheap kind rather than the $50 per metre kind.
Shortly after making this I acquired a real fur stole which is much more rad.  Good-bye fuer!

Day 19

Another ring… Can you tell I’m running out of ideas?  Someone give me an idea in the comments!  I’ve got so much on every day, it’s hard to craft stuff too!  I gotta say, this is more like a “Post-a-thing-a-day” rather than a “Make-a-thing-a-day”, although I do make an effort.

I took this photo during a lecture.  I was SO TIRED.  Probably because I was up all night MAKING A RING to PUT ON MY BLORG.
Yes.  So you’ve got a bit of thigh there too.
