Black Light Painting and More
I'm happy to say I'm back to participating in ladies' painting night after taking some time out due to wedding planning. I figured it was time to share since my last Palettes and Pairings post was over a year and a half ago. My most recent painting was done by black light with neon paints. They call it Van Glow and our inspiration painting was Starry Night. The two pictures on the left were taken in the studio with the black lights. The third picture is the painting in normal light. Clearly, it is way cooler in black light just like the whole experience.
Seahawks Teddy Bear
I had yet another little neighbor birthday this week. Julia's parents call her Juliabear, so I thought it would be adorable to make her a Seahawks Twelfth Fan teddy bear.
King's Forge
Our friend, Z, recently introduced us to a game he ordered from Kickstarter called King's Forge. It's a dice rolling game where up to four players compete to become the king's new blacksmith. The goal is to be the first to craft four items on the king's list.
Giant Crocheted Sphere
I have officially completed this giant sphere (85 row) that will be the base for an amigurumi for Jeff.
Crocheted Elmo
My other little neighbor, Olivia, has a birthday the day after TJ. She loves Elmo, so I made her one from this pattern by Maggie Vassie that I found on Ravelry. I was beyond pleased with how he turned out!
Hello Kitty!
Get ready folks, I'm heading back off into crochet land! My most recent creation is a Hello Kitty for my little neighbor TJ's birthday. I think she turned out adorably.
Honeymoon Part 2: Oahu
As I said in my last post, Oahu was like a whole different world. Things didn't feel as relaxed. Instead, it felt more like a slower version of the hustle and bustle of a city. Maybe it's because we stayed in Waikiki. There were a ton of shopping options everywhere and it felt like there were a lot more tourists as well. We spent most of our time eating since we had such a long list of places we wanted to try.
