Crafts

Posted on February 13, 2011 by Andi

I have needed something to keep me busy these days. I went shopping with Chuck’s mom the other day to a craft store and decided I wanted to learn to knit. So I picked up a cheap starter book, needles and some yarn. I haven’t been able to do a whole lot in one sitting because my hands are so swollen. But here’s a little progress I had after the first day I played with it!

Not too shabby for my first attempt if I do say so myself!

Then the other morning, I woke up and decided I NEEDED to have some flower clips for my hair. So I went nuts and attached a bunch of flowers I had to hair clips. Then I found a tutorial online for making some flowers out of fabric and made a couple of those. I am definitely going to make more of the fabric flowers. I need to see if I have some more elastic sitting around to attach them to. Or I need to get some more clips. Smile

Not too shabby for my first attempts at these. Smile I was quite proud. The knitting project I started is supposed to be a headband, so I may have to attach a fabric bow to that and see how it turns out! I am seeing Christmas gifts in the making already!

Have you tackled any projects lately? Any wearable projects? Please share!

This had been on my list for a long time and I kep This had been on my list for a long time and I kept pushing it back because I wasn’t in the mood. It was a relatively short listen (which I listened to on a recent car/day trip. I wasn’t sure if it was going to translate well, but it was really good. The premise is you can travel to another time, but you must return “before the coffee gets cold”. It had some wonderful “rules” that had to be followed and made you think about when in time you might travel back to.

This book has others in the series and it is definitely worth a read or listen if you’ve ever thought about time travel and what you might do differently.

If you’ve been around a while, you probably know If you’ve been around a while, you probably know I like STEM books. I’m also a sucker for robots. I got this one for my space-loving daughter because she loves Mars. This was based on rovers that went to mars. I loved that it was geared toward kids, but had facts and stuff mixed in. I loved that they gave the rover (Res) feelings and a personality. The main programmer of Res was a female as well. It was a wonderful book and so well done. I’m excited to recommend this to people or give it as a gift!
