 | 04:01 pm - "Oprah" Rose Hairclip
A silly name, but apt, as there's a story behind the ribbon I used. Oprah was my commencement speaker a couple of years ago, and she handed out books tied up in ribbons to each graduate. I kept the ribbons because they were pretty (didn't find the books particularly fascinating), and decided to use one of them for this rose.
It looks like it's attached to the headband, but actually, it's attached to a no-slip alligator clip, and I just layered the headband on top of that for effect.

High-waisted wiggle skirt I made for myself. It's thick jersey and quite simple, two darts in the front, 4 in the back.
Do you lovely folks have any tips on picking fabric that you're sure will have minimal bobbling? I particularly have this problem with jerseys which sometimes bobble just from light handling, even before the first wash! I don't know much about fabric properties so what should I look out for?

 | 10:21 pm - Hi!
Hello ^^
I'm new to the community and I have to say that a lot of the crafts here are just awesome. I'm almost afraid I can't match up to the amount of skill here.
Anyways, I'm working on a few things that I'd like to post here when I get them done.
Hope I don't sound too much like a dork ^^;

 | 07:55 pm - A Confession, an Offer, and Pictures
I do a lot of paper crafts below is a card I made and a scrapbook page on a 12x12 canvas. I am bad about using up my paper scraps and I throw out quite a bit. If I stuffed an envelope full would anyone be interested in receiving it in the mail? Reply with your email and I can use that to get an address rather than you leaving it here publicly.
ETA: I just remembered I got the inspiration for the 12x12 page here it was quite awhile ago so if you recognize your works inspiration please take credit!

avie
Avie has rather recently run away from home, so if you possibly see her - most likely picking your pocket only to nick your watch chain and not actually your watch - if you see her, please don't contact her parents. They'd be mortified to know she's turned into such a dreadful little thief.
[ingredients: oh the usual sculpey, paint, hair, wire, fabric and....spats!]

 | 02:45 pm - Crafting Box (Christmas Gift Help ?)
( Here's the excessively long explanation of events leading to this inquiry. )
TL;DR Version:
I wanna make a crafting kit for my friend's Christmas present.
Although I'm his bff, I don't know enough about 25 year old guys to build a kit he'll find interesting.
Also, said kit can't have much to do with video games.
I'm building it because he just escaped a solid addiction to them and is now left hobbieless.
Help ?
Thank you for suggestions in advance !
[EDIT]
Thank you all for your speedy and awesome replies. I think I have enough to work with, though feel free to post anything else previously unmentioned. I'll be sure to post a couple of follow ups. Thanks once again !

 | 11:32 pm - Are terry cloth towls to fuzzy too use for toddler butt wipes?
I have some wonderful terry cloth towels and they were huge for 250, and I wouldn't want to waste such good bathing towls on baby butt wipes if they wouldn't work, so any of you all have experience with using recyclable items like wash cloths for a toddlers poopy butt?

I know I'm a little late on the bandwagon, but I just wanted to show you this picture of my daughter as Boo from Monster's Inc. My mother and I collaborated on the costume. :)

 | 04:59 pm - Picture Frames
Hi crafters!
Lurker here.
I have a question about picture frames. Has anyone made their own custom picture frame from scratch? I've searched the internet for instructions but most require router saw [?] and I'd rather not go in that direction.
If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. I have several posters and picture that need framing and purchasing a lot of frames is going to get expensive.
Thanks!

 | 07:05 pm - Recent Foray into Jewelry
So just in the last 2 days I have made a number of pieces.... ( Click here for Pictures! )
I do however have a question, the clasps that have the spiral bit at the end, what are they used for? It's like a normal lobster clasp but instead of a loop to crimp cord to its a spiral like a split ring but maybe 5 or 6 rounds.
Thanks for looking, I do have more things I have made but alas my camera is over on my bed and my pieces are not yet unpacked.
