I went scrapbooking Friday, and I worked on some pages,then I got bored. I had bought a mini tray that contained boxes made by Tim Holtz for $3.50. I decided to get that out and decorate it. I used 3 Gypsies paper on the outside. I used paper from Tuesday Morning on the inside boxes, and I used Tim Holtz distress inks on the inside of the boxes with tissue paper to apply it to get it in the nooks and crannies. I think it came out nice. I'm not going to put anything inside until I find the perfect trinkets to represent me. I may even use some of my jewelry. Here are the pics:
I recently crocheted a purse out of Red Heart Super Saver yarn using a pattern from Crochet magazine. I decided to add a liner on the inside. I made some changes to the pattern. It called for 2 crocheted handles, and I bought a handle and only used one handle. I also had some difficulty with the bobbles. The article said to push the bobbles to the right side out; however, they don't want to stay. It still turned out pretty will though. I just put all of my stuff in, and I will be using it. It's much too pretty not to.
I am currently working on knitting a shawl. It will be my first. The pattern is from Vogue Knitting magazine, and I'm using wool yarn. It already looks a little different from the picture, but I think it might be due to less tension on my part. You can see the pattern in my knit.
I will be going scrappin again this Friday again. I will have so much to show everyone. I am starting on the books that I did years ago that aren't good for the pictures. I want to put them on acid free paper. We should be getting some new pics of our new boat soon if the weather turns nice. My dh and I are wanting to get the boat out and have some fun and of course I'm looking forward to going swimming. I hope that I can still swim in the lake with my fibro. I hope that it's not too cold for me. My dh make dinner for us tonite. Ham and mac-n-cheese. Neither of us is feeling well tonite. Hope we feel better by Wednesday. My parents are taking us out for dinner if everyone is up to it.
Happy Scrappin & Hookin,
Michelle
