To Do: Karen Carpenter Purse

Or any other face of my choosing!  I am going to make some bags out of LP casings.  There’s one over at Web Goddess that is more a hardware project than a sewing one, but I guess in the battle of Sewing Machine Vs. Cardboard, Cardboard will always win.  I know that now.  With a pile of snapped needles and a few purple fingertips to testify.  Maybe I’ll be able to make some by Sunday’s craft fair!  Let the sewing go on, by Sunday I will be a cripple…

To Do: Vinyl Record Bracelets

Since all of the 12 record players in my vicinity are officially deceased, maybe it is time to melt and wear all the LPs.  Or just take a few Gordon Lightfoots out of circulation, I’m sure no one will notice.  Though even just typing that makes me scared for my personal safety lest someone see me defiling a Gordon Lightfoot album, parading around with its mangled carcass on my arm, or laughing to myself about its inglorious oven end.  Maybe I’ll go for the Art Garfunkel albums instead, his fans are probably less prone to destruction.

A tutorial over at Craftster has instructions to bake some bracelets, it will happen!

God’s Eye Redux

At Girl Scout camp, we made god’s eyes with popsicle sticks and acrylic yarn.  They were itchy, and probably have been properly disposed of by all relatives upon which they were inflicted.  But with a surplus of quilting floss scraps (thank you Aunt Ree Reno, Aunt Flo Martin, and all other great aunts of the world!) and some bamboo skewers, I made some multi-pronged, thinly strung God’s Eyes.  They are pointy & take a good few days of wrapping and knotting, but I love them!
