Blue Mint Bunny Scarf Progress

While watching Tron: Legacy Thursday evening, I started on a new bunny scarf. Aside from my first bunny, this probably the fastest I've got the scarf done, as I've just completed it about a half hour ago. Even though it's just the scarf right now, it's the most tedious part, so with that out of the way, the rest of the bunny should be done by the end of the night, or by tomorrow night. I'm thinking a black ribbon or a white crochet bow accessory.

AoD MiMi "Leilah-Marie"

In non-crochet business, I got some velvet flowers from Japan. I was in a local group order for it and I just bought them on impulse while I had the chance. They're really quite lovely, but I can't think of anything to attach them to/accessory to make from them. I braided my hair yesterday and wove them in, so they're pretty nice as is with just the wire. I might just keep them that way and weave them into things as needed.
Also, made the bow at a Lolita craft meet up. It's got a snappy clip in the back. I need more fabric bows.

Mori Pins

Flowers for mori-pins. Instead of just making pins one at a time as I go, I think it would be more efficient to make all the pieces and then assemble. This way, all I gotta do is pick a flower, some trim, and get to work.

Custom "lace" I crocheted. Varying lengths mostly because counting stitches for something like this is kind of unnecessary, and it makes the piece even more...one of a kind.

I bought new yarn today. I have four scarves I need to make, three bunnies and one deer. Sadly, I couldn't find the preferred color of purple, so I'm going to either need to look through more stores or settle on the ones that were available. But for now, I've got enough to keep me busy!

Biscotti

I made biscotti last weekend. It was a good reason to buy almond extract. Stuff smells super delicious. And the biscotti tasted great too. I had it Lady Grey last night, and it was excellent! Especially since I'd been crunching on the stuff plain the past week, last night was my first time getting to dip it. Heavenly~ I'm glad I didn't bother with a chocolate coating. Although, once the weather gets really cold, I think some chocolate coated biscotti and coffee would be really pleasant.

Variety of Flower Badges

Update! Yeah! Flowers! Four flower pins with chains. I've added a pearl to each since this photo, so they're all done now. I especially like the blue one, I think it goes really well with the pearl in the center.

return from unofficial hiatus

So I kind of dropped off the earth in terms of updating this blog. I did craft here and there, trying new things and sending off the bear scarf. School started a few weeks ago, so my work ethic kind of sank. Shame on me, I know. I'll be getting back into posting more often with things I've made and eventually updating the shop since almost all of the items have expired.

Until next time.

Flora

Flowers! Made a few with leftover red yarn. I wanted to see what I could make with a five petal flower, but they looked kind of odd when I lined up straight like a headband. When lined up in an arc, they seemed like they could be a necklace or a large two pin brooch, like something that could be pinned to the corner or center of something [like a pillow or the flap of a bag or the top of a tote] or even maybe holding together the top of an unbuttoned cardigan. 

And then I made smaller flowers and put them over, so they could be like the pins I made for some craft swaps. The red flower in the photo is part of the three at the top. I'm unsure what to do about it, since I don't have enough red to make all the red into pins and I don't know how appealing the 3-flower arc is.
But more flowers to come, they're nice and I like making them. Much more than bows.

Floral Headband

Been working on and off with this. Made one flower, then made the rest, sewed them together, sewed on elastic. Took me a few weeks to actually do it all of course, and I'm sure I could easily do it all in one sitting. I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks, but if I hadn't lost my small hook I might've added smaller flowers to go over the larger flowers [does that make sense?]

Worn photo, as this one is meant for my personal collection / as a test.
