David, after MONTHS of you begging me to write a post on TheCollegeCrafter, I am finally doing this for you, and whoever else is weird enough to want to read it! I have been doing quite a bit of crafting over the last few months, so it's difficult to decide what I should actually write about.
Despite the summer weather, I've been crocheting a lot of mittens (I know, it's crazy!). My goal is to try to use up my existing mounds of yarn (it really is A LOT) before buying
too much more, so by the end of summer I may have pictures of some very interesting multi-colored and textured mittens... That should be interesting!
I also made a pair of earrings recently that I'm pretty proud of. I've posted them to facebook, so you may have seen a picture there, but if not then here you go!
Using my handy Dremel, I drilled holes in these dice and added some gold wire to finish the look. At first my plan was to spray paint the dice black with white dots, but my sister convinced me not to because she thought the green was cool. After seeing the final product, I'm glad I left them as is. Since they're pretty old, you can see wearing down and fading on the die, but I think it contrasts really well with the non-tarnishing shine of the gold wiring. I'm very excited about these upcycled dice, and I definitely think I'll be making more with the rest that I have laying around :)
Thanks for reading TheCollegeCrafter!
