Whovian Hidden Book of Mystery!

This is a "Secret Compartment" Book

I crafted up such a long time ago for

Grindhousehussy19 as an extra in the Frozen Swap.

I had been saving this Thrift Store Find of a book

for the perfect Whovian.

It even had a wonderful Tardis color to it!

So I went for the zen approach to cutting out the rectangle below 

as it can get real tedious...real fast.

Little Tip: 

If you take the thinnest bit and drill the 4 corners,

it makes for cleaner cutting.

Geez, looking at this pic, my straight edges are not so straight.

Oh well, Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey right?

I also slippped her some Whovian Bottlecap Magnets.

Dimensional Magic rules!

And a big Thank You to Shannon 

who gave me some bottlecaps to craft up!

Allons-y!

Lego Movie Hoopla Triple Threat!

This seemed to be, above all The Summer of Lego around here.

I have to admit, I love Benny.

His joyfulness to make a spaceship is how I feel about a great deal of things.

Maybe too many things.

Maybe I'm overexcitable?

Morgan, of course was all about WyldStyle and Will had a big thing for Emmet. 

After I first stitched up the Benny Hoopla the kids promptly put their orders in.

Below is a montage of close ups and basically me playing around with an intagram app for the first time.

I've been pretty busy lately, and a lot of crazy creatively awesome

things have been going on.

My sincerest apologies for leaving this blog for so long.

But no fear, the creativeness has (for the most part) been

captured for future blog posts!

I also have a serious backlog of Craftster Swap items 

to post for posterity.

(Even if it's for my own enjoyment.)

But, on a fun side note, I looked at my Stats on 

here and my Lalaloopsie crocheted hats have 

been viewed 124 times from France today!

One word to leave you with:

SPACESHIP!

Day 23: Something I Need

Peace. 

I like this word. 

It could really lend to many wants. 

Peace for the world

Peace and quiet

Peace of mind...

(piece of pie?)

I ran around this with Zen Doodles because what could be more perfect?

Drawing Challenge Day 22: Something You Miss

Day 22: Something You Miss

Coffee!!!

My Caffeinated Tale of Woe.

A year ago or so,

I had the usual tests done for Cholesterol

and Triglycerides.

I did not do well on these tests.

Changes needed to be made!

My preferred method of coffee-making at the time

was a French Press.

I LOVED my French Press.

I wrote poems about it.

I adored the mechanics and ceremony of brewing in it.

In my googling of ways to lower Triglycerides,

I discovered you could lower them by using a paper filter with your coffee.

Something to do with an oil that paper filters off the foil filters don't.

But, I thought, I use a French Press!

I went downstairs to my conventional Coffee Maker

(kept there for when my dad visits) and there was the cache of filters.

I painstakingly cut filters to size.

Ok, this is going way too long about the French Press...

Perhaps I should've sketched a picture of that instead?

Long story short (too late)

I also went to 1/2 caf and eventually cut out coffee altogether.

My numbers went down CONSIDERABLY!

I drink tea now.

Tea is good...

Earl Grey rules.

But I still keep coffee, for guests I tell myself,

but the true reason is to open that cabinet in which the coffee is kept

and take a big sniff.

Just smelling it is enough to relax and invigorate.

I miss you coffee.

I hope you're doing well.

Day 21: Something You Want

A Painted Peg Board for the Crafty Cave!

And the thing is,

we have the pegboard in the garage.

It's just a matter of  doing it.

Sometimes my procrastination

is an Olympic Event...

and I win the gold!

Drawing Challenge Day 20: Something Orange

Day 20: Something Orange

Today was "Something Orange"

I was "shocked" there was not a single Orange Marker in 

my budding Copic Collection.

One quick jaunt to Michael's later...

This spattering of circles, 

while orange,

may look like a bunch of oranges...

But there was something else I wanted to try 

and that's blending.

(Especially after getting my Colorless Blender!)

After watching a few tutorials I gave it a try,

noting which techniques used.

Thanks to Anika for the "Dot" idea.

Thanks to Melissa for being my "Marker Inabler".

Speaking of Melissa,

she's doing a Photo a Day challenge on her Instagram...

Her challenge was "Something Orange" too!

CRAZY!
