finished!

Finally I took pictures of all the crafts I have finished in the month without internet. We have been decorating and unpacking like mad and it's starting to feel like home. I have so many ideas, mostly from pinterest, for our apartment and can't wait to start on new things.


The day of the dead canvas I posted a while back when it was incomplete and is finally done and ready for its home on our wall.


My scrapbook pillow is coming along. I still have the task of doing the Tower of London and Buckingham Palace which are gonna be hard with the small details, and a few other pieces on there but its coming along nicely.

I finally finished my recipe box. I have had it a while but stayed unfinished wood but I painted it and decoupaged relevant photos on it for my new kitchen.

And last but not least is the rug I crocheted! I had a bunch of old sheets that my last roommates left that I moved with us to protect furniture and then thought of this to repurpose them. It was a super easy project just time consuming and hurts your hand after a while. I used 2 twin size sheets and got a rug maybe 2 feet around, its home is in the kitchen so my feet are comfy when I do the dishes :]

skull canvases

Here are a few of the canvases I did for my mom for her birthday(yes we are a skull loving family). This first is actually made of gum wrappers, when i was a little kid we used to peel the silver from the white backing and then stick it down, well this is exactly what i did here. The next is a dia de los muertos skull that i did with paint pens and then embroidered the roses onto the canvas. Didnt quite turn out how i would have liked it but oh well.

and finally these skulls were beaded using seed beads, i wanna say they were size 11 but i dont remember. This was a test of patience to say the least.
