Spiritual Mindfullness

Well, I know this first project isn’t primarily blue or purple, but the added touches are blue!! My pincushion is made with a bandana, pillow stuffing, embroidery thread, & a blue flower bead

My pentagram necklace, made from blue embroidery thread & a key ring.

My first attempt at a throw pillow, made from an old work shirt & pillow stuffing (my boyfriend & I met & fell in love while working together at this place, so I thought it would make a nice reminder, hehe)

A “blue aura” ATC, made for the Happy 100 ATC Craftalong

My first painting since I was a kid

And, just for fun, my butterfly tattoo on my back

And, trust me, this is art!! *LOL* (I call this piece “what happens to ex-boyfriend’s cars when they cheat on you” ~ note, I did not do this!!! I just got a big kick out of it! Can you say *K-A-R-M-A*?! LOL)

As yesterday was the 4th of July, I was a wee bit busy. Sorry for not posting a yellow on time

All of this stuff I’d saved into a folder on my computer called “Inspiration” ~ It’s all from various members of Craftster…

I couldn’t really find anything yellow that I liked a whole lot. But here’s the pic of a concept that I liked so much, I decided to use it to make my Pentagram Necklace

As for orange…

I recently came across the idea for a popcan ashtray. My boyfriend & I are planning to quit smoking in a couple weeks, but I figured the idea would work well for a votive candleholder!! I mean, I really hate destroying pretty votive holders with the wax, so this would be ideal for me!!

I really liked this girl’s falls ~ I wish mine would turn out so well!!!

Here’s what I refer to as “the coolest wallet ever!” Hehehe. I love the different fabrics the girl had used, and I also love the way she designed it with all the pockets.

And last, but not least, I’m very fond of the sun design on this apron. I think that, when I finally get around to making an apron of my own, it is certainly going to display a similar design!!!

Yay for green ~ my favorite color!!!

Ironically, I haven’t made anything green yet, heh. So, I’ll post a pic of one of my WIPs, a long-sleeved-button down-shirt into a flowy-tank-top recon. I always liked this shirt, but rarely wore it because it never fit quite right around the armpit area :/ So, it sat in my closet until the shoulders & sleeves became discolored. I love the fabric & colors so much, though, I couldn’t just throw it out. So, it’s on its way to becoming a tank top. It’s all cut up, & the sides are pinched in to make it fit a bit better. I’m going to try & re-use as much of the fabric as I can

(Sorry that the pic doesn’t have sufficient lighting!!)

I decided it would be fun to participate in a week-long crafty blog challenge, called Color Week, where you post a pic of either a craft that you’d personally made or one that inspires you. It’s from a WordPress blog, but why I didn’t enter my Crafty blog in the challenge is beyond me now, lol. Oh well, prepare for a bit of a change of pace from Pagan-related content to general craft-related content.

Today’s theme is red/pink. The first thing that popped into my head was my first hand-sewing project ever – a camera cozy for my boyfriend. Granted, the flap & buttonhole are more flimsy than I’d liked it to have been, but it still serves its purpose & he still likes it. I also wanted to make the flap into the shape of an eyepatch (he has a thing for eyepatches for some reason, *lol*), but I wanted to save that for another time, when I’ve upgraded my skills a bit hehehe. It’s made from felt & a Wal Mart bandana.

Here’s another project of mine – a crochet hook cozy

And some falls…

The throw that I’m crocheting for my living room

And a pretty avatar
