Magical Monday – Craftiness Is In The Air

I haven’t had a lot of time to work on my crafts lately. Work and school have eaten away that precious crafting time that I hold so dear.

Recently I have been able to work on a few things. Today I don’t have pics but I should have them by weeks end. Thanks to a loving furbaby in my house I have a camera cord and yet I can;t seem to find the thing. I’m guessing it got snatched when I was cleaning up the desk area.

I’ve been working on what I lovingly call the “Shawl of Doom.” I am notorious for not finishing crochet projects. I have had 3 attempts at the Seraphina’s shawl pattern. 1 with homespun, 1 with boucle and 1 with some real thin yarn that seriously made my head hurt when I realized I’d gone through a ball of it and have a shawl made for a barbie so far!

I decided to grab a nice green skein of Vanna’s acrylic yarn and have one last go at the pattern. I couldn’t be the problem with it it HAS to be the yarn! I was right it’s the yarn. I should have listened to everyone that told me that a bumpy yarn will drive me insane when crocheting with it.

Next on my agenda is to put together some jewelry. I have a few car protection pieces to do and maybe a few necklace and bracelet sets. I want to learn how to correctly make a wire loop and I can then start making earrings that don’t fall apart.

I hope you are all having a wonderful week. Don’t forget to check out the giveaway here that will end Thursday!!
