Making Messes...

Or at least that is what DH calls everything creative I do. I have several projects going on right now. Last night I was working on making resin beads, which I have never done before, and probably won't no if they turned out for a couple days...they have to set. This was my first batch, so they probably won't turn out...but hey you never know!

I am also crocheting right now...there are several reasons for this. First, I saw this piece in Etsy I wanted it....but since I can't really buy anything new right now...I thought why not just crochet something. Keep in mind that I haven't crocheted anything since my grandmother taught me when I was around 8 years old. So I don't remember much. I can chain, and I can single crochet...and that is pretty much what I am doing. I am not following a pattern and it certainly isn't going to be pretty! I somehow managed to find the ugliest yarn I could find! I wanted something thick, and soft...but it also has that eyelash stuff on it...which is good because it does cover up all my bloopers. I am just hoping that by the time I am done it will be kind of shaped like that. I'll take a picture of the ugly beast when I am done! The yarn is hideous! I swear!

Oh, my other reason for crocheting is, I have been experimenting in ribbon lately on jewelry. I bought a skein of ribbon yarn for the experiment and it had a pattern for a scarf or something with it. I threw the pattern away...but it did make me think about crocheting.

I don't think that crocheting is something I will stick with. I am doing it just to prove to myself that I can. Plus every fall I pick up a hobby for the fall and maybe into the winter...and do that for awhile. Jewelry has been the only thing I ever picked up and didn't let go over when the winter was over. There are several other things I would like to experiment with this season...I have had this jar of plaster of paris for many years, I'd say at least 10...and I only ever made one thing out of it. I'd like to use that so I can get rid of it. If I make anything, I'll post it, no matter how horrible it is. I'll even post the resin beads that probably won't turn out.
