I Made Earrings

I have made earrings for myself from an old For The Makers project.  They camme out pretty elegant.

Blue Bracelets

I made these little bracelets from a For The Makers box.  I'm finally working through them.  The silk string was dyed blue using Kool Aid.  They came out pretty bright!

Darby Smart Bracelets

This was a little Darby Smart kit.  It came with the leather bracelets, plain, and some wooden stamps, corks, and a stamp pad.  I wish they had us do some leather craft on it.  All I did was stamp the pattern.  Took about ten minutes.  At least it was quick.

Maker Bracelet

Working through my backlog of craft project and I finished something new - another bracelet.

Sculpey Bowl

I am working through my For The Makers kits as part of my finishing off/cleaning out spree.  This was one of the projects - a sculpey bowl.  It didn't take long to make and came out pretty well as a jewelry bowl.  I already have enough of these, so, while I learned something new, the product is going in the "for charity" pile.

Soapy

The other Darby box I got while gone was this one - soap making.  I'm going to try to get to it, too!

Darby To Do

I've got some Darby to do.  I hope I'm able to do it soon.

Leatherwork

The latest Darby Smart looks interesting to do.  Maybe I will have time when I get back, but probably not. 

Darby Smarting

I had to complete January's Darby Smart box somewhat quickly because it had a live plant.  This little contraption is now in my window at work, plant included.

I Made It

Because I am in a clean it out, finish it off phase of pre-pack out, I made this necklace from one of my For The Makers boxes.  I'm sad they're out of business.  Necklace wasn't too hard and it came out pretty cool.

Plant Pyramid

This was the January Darby Smart.  I made it earlier this week.  The pipe cutter they gave with the kit sucked.  We eventually used a Dremel tool.  The rest went okay, and I now have a little pyramid plant holder for the office.

A Globe!

This was December's Darby Smart.  It's a color your own globe.  I love it!  Will probably do more than the three colors given, but I need to decide on a theme.

Darby Smart Kit

My first Darby Smart kit got here.  I like it, even though I haven't been able to do anything with it yet.  You'd think I'd have more free time than I do.... I am itching to make things.

Votive Gift

This is the gift I made for a colleague.  She watched our cats while we were in Florida.  The kit was from For The Makers.

Made A Headband

I finally got to play around with one of my For The Makers kits and made this headband.  Looks kind of neat.

Agate Ornaments

I bought these DIY agate ornaments from For The Makers, and I think they came out pretty well.  It was a very quick project, taking less than an hour.

Champagne, Anyone?

I finally got around to making something from my August For The Makers kit.  It was quick and easy and took about ten minutes.  The hardest part was pushing the pin into the cork.  It's kind of cute and very useful here. 

Craftistas August Kit

Being a crafting nerd, I finally signed up for Craftistas.  Here's the first kit I got.  It's all about fimo and pattern and making a bowl.  I had hoped to get it done within a couple of weeks of getting it, but life - in the form of work - interfered.  Instead of my usual part time, I've been working full time for the month of September.  No crafties for me!  I'm supposed to return to part time when I get home from Krakow, so hopefully I can do it very soon.
