Get your Craft on!

The closer I get to finishing school, the less school work I want to do. I would rather spend my time making things and that's exactly what I have done! I have been doing a little bit of everything, such as crochet and clay sculpting. Here are some of my latest creations.

SIDE NOTE: BANKSY SIGHTING. I went to Unique LA on Saturday and my friend and I spotted a Banksy Art Piece. I thought it was pretty exciting because I watched Exit Though the Gift Shop about a week ago. I don't know how long this has been here, but for those in the LA area, its near Maple and 9th st.

Bags, bags and more bags

I can never get enough of bags. Here are some that I have sewn and knitted. I found the pattern for the skull bag in One Yard Wonders.

This pattern can be found here

It was my first time crocheting the Afghan stitch so it came out really sloppy. In order to fix the ugliness, I crocheted a border around the strap, which turned out very nice. I’m still not sure how to properly crochet the afghan stitch, but I’ll keep practicing.

I ended up using 1. 25 skeins of green. The green yarn did not match exactly because I bought them at two different yarn stores.

The bag was fun to make and the directions were very easy to follow. The yarn lends itself nicely to this pattern. It does stretch a lot and it ends up looking like a giant sock, but it serves its purpose: Reduce the carbon footprint!

London Highlights!

I left for London for my spring break and it was an absolute blast! One week was certainly not enough to see all of London, but I will most definitely visit again. The transportation system rocks and you get anywhere via subway, bus or by foot. Here are the highlights.

I'll post more. I have to finish the laundry
