I've Discovered Polyvore!

Yesterday I managed to lose the black yarn I needed for the next step on the pullover I'm knitting. I thought it would turn up this morning when I brought all the project bags in from the truck. I never even got to use it. I hate losing things.

I've discovered Polyvore.  It's a site that lets you make fashion collages. I was up until 2 AM putting together four fashion collages.

And yes, I would wear all the things that I picked. In fact I just bought about 40 patterns at the last 3 Simplicity and McCalls sales, so given enough time and motivation I can make one of these collections. I'm just not sure which one I want to do. So many ideas, so little time.

Yesterday I also got various shades of green yarn and some deep red to use for my crochet terrarium project. And I made one freeform crochet  piece for the new freeform group I joined on Facebook.

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.

New Projects on My Horizon

The last two days I've been shopping for new craft supplies. I hope I can get some of these things made and sold so I can recoup some of my investments.

Right now I'm working on two snoods. One if worsted weight yarn for every day wear in burgundy. The other is fine crochet cotton in black with red garnet colored square beads for celebrations. These are prototypes I plan to wear myself, but will be listed in my Etsy store of examples for custom orders.

2. Black Snood with Red Beads

3. I also picked up 'eye's for the bunny I knitted already.

And as soon as I find my small knitting loom I want to start making boot toppers.

And I'm really excited to find a new book on making sock monkeys and other sock animals.

And I have a whole lot of Harry Potter themed Christmas ornaments I want to make. I've steered away because of copyright issues, but now I see that Etsy is full of such things and the only one not making money off of it is me. I bought the stuff to make Golden Snitches yesterday. We'll see how it goes.

Right now what I really need is a giant table so I can work on all these things.

I bought a lot of beads for future jewelry projects as well. I'll keep you all posted.

I also made a gauge square for a wrap around sweater I wanted to knit. I kept waiting for the yarn to go on sale. This week, I thought it was on sale, but the 'over-dyed' yarn wasn't included in the sale, so I switched to a similar yarn which is shown in the photo. I got 5 skeins. I hope that is enough.

I can't wait to get started on all these new projects.
