Challenge Day 19 & 20 Mug Cozy

 Today I am super happy that I got another project done :)

 

I worked on this project for about a week on and off
three to four rows at the time
and finally today I woke up and said:
that's it! I am finishing it today!

 And here it is

 

and on the side I put a button so is easy to put it on and off

in any mug :)

 

Now if you want to make it here are the instructions:

 

I used knittin needles # 3

and yarn # 4

(one of the regular yarns that you see in the craft stores)

 

Cast on 17 sts.

and knit rice stitch until you have 24 cm. or 9 1/2 in.

bind off.

 

Then in the middle of one of the sides

 make 5 chains with any crochet you have around

to make a look for the button.

 

On the other side sew the button

in the middle of the row.

 

And you are done.

This is a project you can make in a day

but my lack of time didn't allow me :)

 

Please share yours if you make one :)

Challenge Day 18 Color Palette

I found this picture in the net some time ago

I love turtles and I just love this colors together

maybe I'll use them someday in my embroidery :)

 

that's my short time creativity for day 18 :)

 



Challenge Day 16 & 17 Digital Scrapbooking

Is really hard for me to use the computer during the weekends

so here I am today with my challenges from saturday and sunday

trying to be creative in a different way

I have play with my pictures creating a digital scrapbook :)

 

I work with PSPX2

 

for this picture I only added 2 diffent frames

but I colorized them with her favorite colors

 

 

This one has a charcoal effect

 

 

Pencil Effect choosing a pink color 

 

 

Pencil Effect with a white color 

 

Brush Stroke effect

 

For this picture I darken the background and

used a mask as a frame





 

 

 This picture took me a lot of time,

as I had to remove all the background from the picture

make it a tube and then make the rest of the frame

using borders and inner bevels

 

 

 And for this one I didn't remove the background

just added some borders

and decorate them with patterns to make it

stand out a little bit

 

Well, that was my creativitiy for the weekend,

let's see how do I get creative today

and hopefully post it tonight :)

 

Thanks for visiting

 

 



Challenge Day 15 Art Journaling and Mixed Media

 

 

Today I wanted to share an art journal page

that I did for my teenage daughter for her birthday

 

I am a beginner in art journaling

and I tried experimenting with acrylics and watercolors

different sponges and bubble wrap to print

handmade swirls (not the best lol) with permanent markers

and of course her favorite Bible Verse

which I chose to add a little mixed media to it

by sewing the corner, putting some rick rack ribbon and a button :)

An! and her favorite colors :)

 

Thank you so much for taking a look :)

Challenge Day 11 & 12 New Crochet Stitch

(Sigh) I couldn't post yesterday because

my sister came to spend the day with us :)

and since I am making this for her

I couldn't pull it out and take a picture of it

 

I am working on a new crochet stitch for me

that I found in Pinterest here

 

It doesn't look quite the same since the yarn is a little bit thicker

than the sample on pinterest

but is coming along good I think

 

 

I don't have a lot left to crochet here

I am making a sunglass case like this one

but better, since I've been reading a lot about crochet

and know what to do now for a better finished look :)

which I'll share in another post

as my project goes along :)

 

Thank you for stopping by,
