OMG I Have So Many Ideas!

I've had so many ideas and so many new projects going that it makes my head spin. And now I just found a freeform crochet group on Facebook I just have to join if they'll have me. Here are some things I've started recently that I don't want to lose track of:
1. Boho crochet purse
2. Crocheted hexagon dress
3. Bunnies with no arms or legs
4. Circular freeform crocheted hat
5. Freestyle crochet mood afghan
6. Hexagon mood afghan
7. Gelli Printing
8. Crochet Terrarium with mushrooms and a hanging moon
9. Resin jewelry
10. Witch knitted pullover

I'm sure I'm forgetting some but I'll stop there for now so I can crochet before bedtime.

Bone Cutting For Craft Projects

Yesterday was quite the creative day.  I finally got to work with bone. First I worked on the rhythm bones I'm making out of cow rib bones. Fletcher showed me how to work the belt sander and the band saw. And I used the Dremel too.

Then while we were cutting bone, I remembered the bone I got at a pet store to make hair sticks, so I ran in the house and grabbed that and cut that on the band saw.  I just made the major cuts to separate it into 3 pieces, when Fletcher noticed it was making noise. He couldn't figure out how to fix it so I couldn't use it anymore. I used the Dremel instead to make the rest of the cuts.

A Quick Catch-Up

My goodness I've been busy, but haven't been posting here.  Just off the top of my head I'm working on the following  projects:

I just threw four pots. The line up so far is a bowl, a vase, a milk bottle shaped vessel, and a pitcher.
I'll keep you posted on how that goes.

Little Yellow Hat and New Paintings

Maggie in her new hat.

I know I'm behind. Stupid Internet connection is on the fritz every other day or more. At any rate, last night I started knitting a little yellow hat for my granddaughter, who I will be visiting soon.

I also finished 3 paintings. I only have photos of 2 of them though. The witch one is on canvas board, The other one is gouache on heavy paper. Click to see a larger view. I can list either one or both in my Etsy shop if you are interested. 

Children's Robin Hood Hat

I almost have the first children's version of the Robin Hood hat sewn together. Since I was hand-sewing while in the truck, I added a leaf to the side.  With three grand kids I'm sure these hats will come in handy. But I hope to at least try to sell some at the archery swap meet this Sat., which means more sewing today.

Whipping together a Robin Hood hat prototype for an event on Sat. If it works, I'll make a kid's version.

Crochet Hat with Braid Tubes

I can't remember when I started this hat but I just finished it and listed it on Etsy and Yardsellr.

So  feeling pretty cocky about my success, I started crocheting another one last night in shades of purple and gray.

Knitted Long Tailed Hat

I started this hat on the train on the way to San Luis Obispo last week.

Hat for Cullen

My friend just made her son SCA garb so I thought I'd crochet him a hat out of a tan colored yarn.
