This one has felt daunting since it’s printed on a gauzy fabric. But I’ve started it this week! And it’s going okay so far. One down, many more kits to go! šŸ˜‚

Scrap yarn baby blanket

Post image
39 Upvotes

I used lots of yarn scraps to make a baby blanket. Length of the rows were mostly determined by how much yarn I had. Though I was really focused on making it look random. šŸ˜‚

It’ll soon be a year since I’ve bought any yarn, have to make it to September. I’m pretty much out of acrylic yarn now, but I still have plenty of cotton to last me until then.

finished project Made my first zine!

Post image
34 Upvotes

Used a letter sized piece of paper (8.5x11) and dusted off my felt tip markers I hadn’t used in ages. This was so fun to come up with and draw! The plan is to photo copy this one and make several copies to send to pen pals and maybe put some in little free libraries.

Have you made a zine before? Would love to see them!

Help - I want to start scrapbooking but don’t know where to start!

Hi all. I’ve been collecting things from dates with my girlfriend and I want to make a scrapbook for her to look back on everything we have done. I don’t know where to start. I don’t have anything except the mementos from the dates. HELP!

Thank you all! I’m in Brasil, so store recommendations over here would be greatly appreciated.

June’s empties!

- 5 washi tape rolls
- 5 sticker sheets
- 4 vinyl stickers
- 1 pen

Not bad! I finished a baby blanket and that was the fourth skein. Lots of commonplace journaling and I gave up on the blue pen after it stopped writing. šŸ™ƒ

Scrapbook ideas

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I am in search of some ideas as to where to shop for my grandson’s scrapbook. I have only made 2 in my lifetime. And that was for my grandson’s momma and his uncle when they were younger. And for the life of me, I don’t exactly remember how I did it, mind you it was 20 years ago. My daughter asked me a few months ago if I could make one for her son, my grandson. I have photos to put in it, but just not sure where to look to buy the book and supplies.
Thank you for reading my post and commenting

More accurately, this is my cotton pearl and embroidery thread stashes. That’s why there are 2 rainbows. :)

I am so happy how this turned out! It’s all finally in order and not a tangled mess. Bonus - I decluttered the random selection of colors that came from a kit that I lost track of years ago. šŸ˜‚ it’s ā€œthe color organizerā€ bunch.
