Antique Mall finds & Scrumble swap

I did my scrumble last night and I love the way it turned out! I wanted to show the yarn off a bit so I used a bobble stitch to do so with. It turned out FANtastic! LOL I am actually a day behind as this was supposed to be mailed out to the next person in the round-robin but time flew last week! Before I knew what happened...the week had ended and I had done no scrumble! ACK! Well it is about 5 inches across and that exceeds the minimun of 4.

We went to the Columbus Antique Mall today, my mission was to find tatting shuttles. I didn't find any...but the place is flippin HUGE so I may have not gotten around to where one may have been. But I found four old magazines that feature tatting and a set of "vintage" buttons.

Until next time...

Square Needles-hand made! Silk painting, and self defense training

Well Ihave been busy yet again! I've finished a a pair of size 13 square knitting needles made of oak dowel. Total cost of this pair was $1.35!! I plan to cast-on a project that has been waiting for these to be compelted this weekend. The end-caps are poly clay-turquoise, white, gold, a touch of purple and black that had been shreded and then smooshed back together to get the mosaic look. I cut thin slices off the resulting cane, pinched them out to get them as thin as possible to minimize the extra weight that it would add, and added them to the scrap clay used to mold the ends. Pretty! I love turquoise.

Then I am trying some hand-paining on silk hankies. I want to crochet a Pixi Purse out of the unspun roving of the silk for a friend who let trim her Mulberry trees so I could feed my silkworms last summer.

Last but not least...I have been learning self defense training with the help of this library DVD: Chuck Norris Private Lessons of self defense. It is fun to learn and is great exercise. Finally! Exercise I actually enjoy! It looks really dorky, but Chuck is super serious and seeminly compassionate on the videos.

Until next time...
