Crochet an afghan… check!
At the beginning of 2010 I set a couple of goals for myself to accomplish over the course of the year. My first goal was to make a blanket by means of crochet. This past weekend while in Asheville, NC I finally finished my very first crocheted afghan! I love it and I’m so proud:
And I’ve already started on a new one, YAY!

Hoops + little canvases
I’ve been wanting to re-decorate the wall behind my couch for a couple of weeks now. For the longest time the only thing I’ve had up behind there was a pretty large canvas I had painted. I like it alright, but kind of wanted a change. My roomie voiced his liking for the canvas so instead of moving it to another room in the house I decided to just add to the wall. Here are some of the newbies:
Top: SUKIE Cityscape ironed onto some yellow cotton fabric I already had.
Middle Left: I made this- embroidered cloud with rainbow rain on a recycled tee shirt.
Middle Right: I made this, too- cross stitch. Funny.
Bottom: This is one of the coolest things of all time… gotta get a photo of it by itself. My friend did themes for Christmas presents this past year, and my theme was (drumroll…) HELVETICA! One of my gifts was this (handmade) print of a quote from the documentary Helvetica (netflix it if you haven’t seen it). It says, “You can say I love you in Helvetica, You can say it with Helvetica Extra Light if you want to be really fancy”.
Top Right: My friend Brandi painted this bird! I love it so!
Bottom Left: Painted/embroidered fox, I made this when I was obsessed with foxes after I saw one running around late one night.
Bottom Right: House mini canvas (made this one, too).
And finally, this treehouse. Because I totally live in one. Another SUKIE iron-on, gray cotton fabric, cheap embroidery hoop.

Fondant Sushi
Made some fondant sushi over at Westside Cakes last week- thought these were too cute. Cucumbers, salmon, avocado, crab, tuna, seaweed– all made out of fondant!

Just some stuff I made
Some stationery I made for Westside Cakes. I hand-carved their logo (which was also designed by: me!) and stamped and embossed small white tags and blank note cards. Super!

For fun
A few weeks ago I had a friend ask me to paint a squid, which then turned into an octopus and a squid, and then into the two of them being in love with their tentacles intertwined. This is the result! Done in oil pastels (my favorite, sigh) and the little heart between them is embroidered on. Oh man, I think I forgot to put the little suckers on the octopus, or did I? You be the judge.
