All things Crafty

This creative monster has emerged from inside me, and I'm loving all these projects I've been working on! I've been painting, crocheting, photographing, and I even refinished a dresser with my sister Tiff. Here are some of the latest things I've been working on.

It all started with wanting to copy the Starry Night by VanGogh- I LOVE that picture! So I bought supplies and surprised Todd with an "art night." He was a good sport and painted a portrait of the cat, lol.

The dining room AKA art studio:





Oops I didn't mean to upload this blurry one. Oh well.


The finales:




The cat checking out her portrait:


After I posted a photo of my Starry Night ripoff my brother-in-law asked me to paint his house for him. It took me a long time because I was worried about giving him a lame painting! But I really liked how it turned out in the end.




While in Portland Becca Eike and I did some art projects:



We glued maps onto canvas, and then painted on the maps:



On top is our attempts at painting birds. Eike's lovely masterpiece is in the middle, and mine is on the bottom. Somehow I managed to paint flying dolphins instead of birds ha ha!



I also did an owl in a tree.



Here is one of many beanies I've crocheted. I make a lot of stuff to use with photography and to give away. I considered trying to sell some of them them on etsy.com, but they take so long to make that it'd be really hard for me to let them go to strangers. So I'll just use them as gifts. :)



Here's to all things crafty!  It's soooo nice not to have homework to do every evening.  I can't get enough of the freedom of not being a student any more!!! :)
