Cindy's Craft A.D.D. Part LXXIV

If I knew how to make an infinity sign in the post title, that's what it would be. I think I won't rest until I've tried every DIY craft that piques my interest. And there are a lot! At least I haven't accumulated any new crafts lately in the spur of the moment, like in other instances in the past. It's all stuff I've been contemplating trying from time to time. The new craft of the moment is mosaic. I had a bunch of links saved already, so I didn't need to do that much in terms of homework. No photos to show of my first mosaic attempts, because I'm waiting on the supplies I ordered, and even though I bought some basic supplies at Michaels too, I ended up horribly butchering my first attempt. I blame it on getting the wrong grout.

I did, however, succeed (somewhat) in making a shawl pin from a pretty mosaic tile and a birch dowel from my supply of dowels back when I thought it would be a good idea to make knitting needles for fun and profit.
I stained the birch with a deep wood stain and used some polymer clay from my unused/unloved/abandoned supply. I like how it came out on the "public" side, but the back is a little crude-looking. The pin would probably look better against a solid dark background, but I have no shawls or scarves like that! Such a bummer too that the colors of the scarf come out all orange tinted on macro.

I found out over the weekend that my good friend got me the sewing machine on my wishlist for my upcoming birthday! Thank you so much! So yeah, more Craft A.D.D. is upcoming. I've already got 2 sewing books on the way, and thank goodness I have some fabric lying around already. And you can bet your bottom dollar that I will gain a fabric stash as soon as I get better at sewing!

I finally finished rehanking my wholesale order and also updated my shop. Just gotta get some labels on the yarn and send them out this weekend.

Not a moment too soon, as Nermal was rockin the crazy/yarn-looks-deleecious stare.
