Crafter's Delight

I'm pretty sure I have officially lost my mind, gone off the deep end, gone bonkers... whatever I like Synonyms. So I am up at 3:30 am because I decided I needed to make something. I've been feeling extra anxious for the last 2 weeks. I'm not sure whats setting it off, though I am SURE stress is a contributing factor. So I tried to go to bed at a decent hour, since I have church early in the AM. However my mind just would not settle, after an hour I got up and decided crafts was the best way to calm my mind. Distraction normally works pretty well, until I looked up and realized it had been 2 hours and I had made 2 Ipod (or phone) felt cases. The one I made first was because I wanted an owl one I was online. Its pretty ugly but I love owls so whatever. Here is the front.

And here is the back. I know you can't tell but I added a button and tried to stitch my name in cursive. FAIL but whatever, I love ugly things.

Then I decided it would be better if I made more of a "sock" so I HAD to make another one. I couldn't think of anything, except today I went shopping with my neighbor and she had a Hello Kitty shirt on. She REALLY loves Hello Kitty and just got an IPhone last week for her Birthday. So I made this one.


Its plain on the back except solid black.

So yeah I feel sorta dumb for wasting the time but I kinda love my Ugly Owl and hope my neighbor is home in the AM when I leave for church so I can give her hers. She'll love it, I already know.
In summary you have learned 3 things about me in this post.
1. I love Synonyms
2. I love Owls
3. I love Ugly things


PS I got the most amazing pair of shoes tonight that look and feel like slippers but are really shoes, I'll post a picture later. They seriously made my day. They are these except mine are pink and blue tweed where the black and white part is, and I paid less than half of what these are.

  1. Honestly Ashley those are really cute. Especially since you just wung (yes, that's a word that I made up) it without using a pattern or anything. You don't give yourself enough credit!
