My Apologies

Hey hey hey, it's Kayy.
I want to start this post with an apology, Im sorry I havn't posted in four days, I havnt really had much to post about, I need to go over past posts for things I said I'd post about though, haha.

In a previous post, I shared my WIP Wednsday with my knitted basketweave afghan, well, I had to frog it, I believe a certain puppy got into it and maybe accidentaly pulled off a few stitches   <.<  >.>

So,  it's been recasted but I still have yet to work on it... I've been trying to get back into sewing though, I still havnt finished the dress I've been meaning to make either,,,, haha.


So anyways whats new... Oh, I have the link to my poems :) I put them on a website called Quizilla, here's the link to my stuff, just click the word poetry and it'll be a drop down list of my poems. Here's the link:
http://quizilla.teennick.com/my/stuff

I've also come up with a few drawings these past couple days, some of the pictures aren't the best as always, but here they are:

This is an attempt at a realistic drawing of Ai Otsuka, a japanese singer :)

I tried to make my own chibi version of Alice in wonderland falling down the rabit hole...

A random chibi I drew :) Her name is Lisa-Marie

I was listening to In The End piano version by Linkin Park, and came up with this...

And this is just a random sketch of some kid with a guitar :) Haha.

Thats all my drawings... Im trying to think of what else to blog about..

Oh! I got my hair cut today, well, not really cut, but I got it layer and my bangs cut.. here a couple pictures:

This was how my hair was quite a while ago, I then had it cut about shoulder length (which I have no pictures of)  I also tend not to wear my glasses

And this is my hair today... still debating on whether or not I like my bangs,  but yeah. I guess I ended up looking younger -___- which isnt good because I already got mistaken for a 12 year old all the time, and ill be 16 in three months : /

I don't really know what else to blog about, I guess I oughtta start doing more stuff so I have something to talk about ;D     Still havnt done anything as far as opening an etsy shop with my mom... I have to start making more crafts! Should get an inventory up.. maybe thats what I oughtta spend my summer on, because I havnt done anything this summer, and I dont believe I will : /

Oh! we're going to a kind of family fun thing for 4th of July in Boyne City, theres going to be like, carnival rides, and fireworks and all kinds of stuff, my most favorite being a Craft Fair/ Show thing, ill need to remember to take pictures!!!

Uhmm... Oh, and reffering back to drawing, I've taken on the 100 Themes Challenge. It's basically a list of 100 Words or themes, and you make a drawing to each theme and label it and such.

RAKs And A Pen-Pal!

Heey heey heey it's Kayy!

It's about time I post! I don't think Ive done one in couple days, which isn't that bad I guess but anyways moving on.

So, I believe I've mentioned before that I'm apart of a site called Ravelry, under the username Kayy-A-Saurus. And well, there is this just WONDERFUL group called Randome Acts of Kindness (Explaining the RAK)

And two wonderful people have Rak'ed me two packages with sewing supplies and such in them, and I just love them! I took pictures as well :) Some are of better quality than others, but yeah.

The first package I got was from a nice lady in Mississippi, here are some pictures:

This is when I first got the package, You wouldnt believe how excited I get for mail and packages! Haha, so yeah, love it!

First opening the package inside...

The contents of the package!! A nice cross-stitch kit, an adorable Piglet iron on, a wonderful little hand-made needle holder and a card to go with it all :) So happy!

This was the caardd.... (which goes up on my big wall of cards and inspirations! Ill have to show you guys my room sometime)

My favorite part of the package!!! This is the needle case, for my sewing needles. Now I wont have to wait for my dad to step on them to find them! D: Poor Dad.  But this is the needle case...

And here it is opened up! Sorry I forgot to rotate the image! But yeah, the flaps and then the flaps in the middle that are standing up are where I stick my needles! Isnt that just handy! I have to transfer all my needles into it now :3

And my second package came from a lady right in Wisconsin! Haha, awesome :D

Here's the actual package, as you can see, I forgot to take a picture before I started to open it xD haha

And it containted a bunch of sewing stuff! There were some really cute and pretty fabrics in there, I should've taken individual pictures, but the one I like best is on the bottom there, when opened up, It's a picture of some birds, it's really pretty, I love birds! Haha, I also got some needles pins and thread and a thimble (is that what they're called? I forgot!)

And here's everything! A set of sewing needles, a little case of metal pins, and three little spools of white thread :) Those will come in hand for my quilt! Thanks lots and lots!!

So, I loved (Love) my packages, so so much :) But yeah, thats what I wanted to share, I have another post coming up later today about working with my dad the past couple days and my trip today, Im about to walk from my house all the way to Wal-Mart, haha xD Ill share with you guys how many miles that is in the next post :)

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Hey Hey Knit and Crochet

Hey hey hey, it's Kayy!


So, I just wanted to share with you my current projects, I found this blog called Tami's Amis and Other Creations, and there are WIP Wednsdays and FO Fridays, this is awesome, so Im editing the post to be my WIP Wednsday :) I know I wont do these every Wednsday and Friday, but still ;D



 I also plan to post a bit more throughout the next couple days, because I think I'd like to share and show-off some of the past crafts I done, I have some poems, some origami, knitting, drawings, etc. But yeah, I just want to share with everyone things I've done and I'd very much appreciate it if everyone or someone gave me feedback :) but, we'll see when the post comes, eh?

So, for now, I just want to share with you a couple projects I've started recently. I have the crochet Totoro, which is actually on hold at the moment untill I can buy more yarn for it, since I ran out. I got the yarn from my mom, but she got it online from knit-picks, so yeah.

Here it is so far:  

Im sure you can tell, but I made the bottom-half of the background int he picture white/gray myself. I just opened it in paint and edited it, because I held up a white folder for a background, but I wanted to keep my hand in there, so I just kinda edited over the bottom background, heheh, next time I oughtta use photoshop >.<

But yeah, I have a little bit more done than whats shown in the picture, because the blue yarn was all used up :3

THis is Bernat's Handicrafter Peace and Love yarn, along with the start to my blanket ive been makeing, on size 10 Circular needles (it's to be knitting on straights but its easier on circs :)  )

so you can see here the little pattern going on here, it'll be checkered knitted and purled squares. Its called the Basket Weave Afghan, I found it online as a web version of a Jo-Ann's pamphlet. :) its going pretty well, I've got a bit more done since this picture was taken :)

Well thats all I have to share today :) ill try to share more and more, so yeah. Ill try to get the poetry drawings origami and everything up :)

have a wonderful evening everyone, night!

Just a Get-By Post

Hey hey, it's Kayy!

I just wanted to make a quick post, seeing as I havn't posted lately, due to laziness which led to nothing to post about! D:
But don't worry, I plan to get pretty crafty now, summer's getting boring! Haha, so Ill make something, plus I have a couple thoughts to share with you all.

So first, before I get into all that, I just wanted to let you all know that we brought our beloved puppy Maki home tuesday night, and he's just a little sweety haha! I follows me around alot, and we walked a whole bunch wednsday, poor guy, got all tired out and just couldnt walk! But yeah, hes been a bit of a pain in the butt as well, I've had to stay up almost all night every night for potty breaks, but, today we got him a little kennel/cage thing so that he can stay in during the night.

Moving on...

So, I've Hobby Hopped yet again, and I am now into fiber crafts, a.k.a. Knitting and crocheting.

Hobby Hopping - Having so many hobbies you only tackle one or two at a time; The act of changing to another hobby for a any period of time for any or no reason.

So, I've gone from sewing/quilting, to knitting/crocheting. Dont worry, I will come back to sewing, I just don't know when. I might go to scrapbooking, or painting, or writing or drawing, but for now I know Im into crochet/knitting. 

I told someone, and myself, and I've been meaning to for awhile, but I will be designing a crochet dinosaur or several crochet dinosaur patterns, I want to have a whack at it ;D   I've never designed a crochet pattern before, but I'm going to try. I usually prefer knitting over crochet, but, I dont know enough knitting to design a toy, but I do know enough crochet to do so (or at least I think so)

So yeah. :) But at the moment, I'm using a free pattern to make a stuff Totoro from the Miyazaki movie,My Neighbor Totoro, and from the Ghibli Studios logo.

This is that free pattern on ravelry:  http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/blue-totoro (posted with permission!)

By the way, feel free to add me as a friend or send a message my way on ravelry, my username is
Kayy-A-Saurus

So yeah, thats what I just started today (well, i started the project today, but Im actually starting it as soon as I finish this blogpost :D)

Also, I said I had some, well, A thought to share with you.

My mom and I were discussing (a loooong time ago) about opening an Etsy shop for mostly crochet/knitting, but other things as well. And selling patterns on ravelry once we get good enough  to design some.

So,,yeah. thats all I wanted to share with you, Im just kinda thinking of opening an Etsy shop with my mom (just because I dont want to open two shops,and because Im a minor so I can't really open one myself anyways ;) )

So, sorry I didnt post about much, but yeah, have a wonderful night all, I'll post on how my Totoro and Dinosaur patterns turn out, bye.
