metal stamped bookmark

Hello! I was really trying to be good today and start exercising again but I just could not get my laptop going so that I could watch a show while on my elliptical. Maybe I was having a bad connection with Netflix but I know my laptop is also old and probably gonna conk out soon. After about 20 minutes trying to fiddle with this and that, I gave up! I had my shoes on and everything! Oh well, maybe tomorrow.

Today's post is so fun for me. It's more metal stamping but this time on actual metal instead of wood.

This is an aluminum bookmark that I stamped for my daughter. It's a little smudgy looking after she used it. I should've taken a picture before I gave it to her when it was all nice and polished. I even stamped her name on the bottom but I smudged it on here. I made 2 small purple pom poms too for fun.

Here is a close up of the quote I stamped. Funny? I messed up a bit on the heart on the bottom but that is why I need practice. But overall I'm pretty happy with how this turned out considering it was my first metal project. It does require a lot more elbow grease to polish and do the stamping than paper crafts but the outcome of the project is so worth it.

I don't think I have another project to share after this. I'm trying to recover from a cold and so my crafting has slowed down as well. Hopefully I'll have more to share soon!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Neat bookmark! You need a portable tablet to carry around the house to watch netflix! Get well soon!

nuts and bolts

Hello! Today I'll be sharing the last amigurumi I made during my crochet frenzy. I haven't been crocheting much recently except for this one little project I'm kind of procrastinating with. I really do love this last one because I think it came out really cute. This is a little crocheted robot designed by Bubblegum Belles . You can find the pattern HERE . Sometimes I purchase the patterns especially if they are really cute. But a lot of designers do list their patterns for free too on their blogs so I always check to see if they have a blog or not. It's also important to read their pattern listing too if you are purchasing to see whether they are for personal use or also for commercial use. Here is a different view of him. Happy that he is able to sit on his bottom. I actually cut out 2 felt hearts using a heart die, blanket stitched them together, and then hot glued the heart to the robot. I tried stitching one h...

I glued that tag onto kraft cardstock and used my ruler to cut a 1/8th inch border aro...

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...
