Craftin' It Up

I know it's been over a year since I finished BYU, but somedays I still marvel at how much free time I have without homework. I'm sure many of your are rolling your eyes at this, and would like to tell me to stop whining. I'm not trying to complain or to boast, just explain. And I'm sure future me will roll my eyes at all that too.

Substituting has been a great job; for the final two months of school I was working every single day and could plan my work out a week in advance! It was wonderful, fulfilling, and I'm stoked to get back to it in the fall.  However even while subbing I had lots of free time, some days I think they just paid me to sit in a room and read a book. Now that school's out for the summer, the job hunt is underway again. While we wait to see what pans out, it's craft time! I've mentioned crocheting like a fiend and learning to sew before. So I figured it was time to show you guys a few of the projects I've finished this year. 

Baby blanket
 for my friend Mary
Impromptu baby blanket
(I promise the colors match)
Toothless the dragon
amigurumi. Just practice.
Sewing circle scarves,
and painful selfies
Teenage Mutant Ninja
Turtles for my nephews
Baby blanket for my friend Jane
You may have noticed the near lack of sewing things compared to crocheted ones, clearly I should dive into sewing a bit more. But I just have so much yarn to use up!


Yay for painting and...is arranging photos a craft?

    1. Thanks! I miss our Netflix and craft-binging days! I've been thinking about doing this ever since discovering Mermaids Don't Read Books. Way to be a muse :)
