I finally jumped into Cross Stitching. This is my first project and I loved it. xD

It's a word and it's a bad word. Fair warning!

I got super frustrated with both my knitting and crocheting this weekend so I built and painted stuff instead. And also watched LOTR and Harrison Ford movies, but whatever.

First I repainted a cork board I have had for ages. I painted the edges teal but thought the cork itself was ugly so I stained it with teal, black and dark green paints diluted with water.

Then I built a memory board. I used the back of a kitchen drawer we had sitting in the garage. I then used a staple gun to staple some quilt matting to the board, then the fabric (which you have to make sure is taut. After we dealt with that we had to figure out how to put the ribbon on. Most of my ribbon was too short to do the whole board so I used two different kinds: brown with burgundy polka dots and white with gold fleur de lis on them. It turned out perfect for my 8x10 and 5x7s.

Sorry you have to go to another site to view the pictures. Lj's photo system makes me sad.

I was looking for reccomendations for good starting books or even websites for scrapbooking.

I've got lots of scrapbooking stuff, but I've only played around making a few cards or pictures I've still yet to make my first scrapbook. Well today I went crazy at Michaels buying stickers because I want to make my boyfriend a scrapbook for our one year anniversary.

I've got plenty of ideas and I love crafting but this is a really special project and since I don't know much about techniques for making it look nicer I thought I'd ask those with more scrapbooking experience. Its not for 3 months so I have plenty of time but I want it to look really nice.

This pics are leftovers from previous expeditions. Some of the pics did not come out all that well and are more underexposed than a European art film. Some are from Urban Renewals, and some are from Goodwill...

I've been trying to do more lately.

So does anyone remember picture day, when the teachers would hand you little mini black combs to fix your hair with. Yeah, the ones that are 3 or 4 inches?


I currently have 1000 of them.


What in the world can I do? I cant think of ANYTHING for the life of me.


Edit: my friend worked for one of those companies, Im a hair dresser so he figured I could use them.....yes....1000....ONLY reason why I have them. I swear, it's not because im crazy.

moleskin studies. Deadman was done on a really long car drive. The Second one was inspired by one of Francis Bacon's studies of Pope Innocent by Valesque. "I hate the tv" is based on one of my ongoing characters names Stephen. Enjoy! :D


( damn dam double damn )

Made from an old Evanescence Tshirt that got too small...


( Another DIY )

I'm pleased and disappointed with this at the same time. The neck area didn't turn out how I had hoped (thats what I get for not using a pattern). But, that aside, it came out pretty good. Can be laced all the way down, or halfway (plan on getting wider ribbon for this though).
Plus, I do feel a bit rusty. I lent out my sewing machine for a period of time and just got it back... this was my 3rd project, but I'd say.. not too shabby!

I forgot to take before pictures, but this was made from a large men's shirt (weird a weird dino-man print) and a medium men's shirt (the lacing). My cutting is rather rough, something to work on in the future.
