It’s been awhile. Again. Nothing special has been going on with nails or even drawing. Randomly working on drawing ponies for a My Little Pony plan; Coming up with furniture my husband needs to make so we can have some room; and relearning crochet. Again. I’ve randomly tried to learn crochet through out my life, do it too tight and quit. Taught myself knitting once. So I now have a whole mess of needles, crochet & knitting, a bunch of books my mom let me have and a couple I’ve bought and a ton of patterns scavenged from across the interwebs. So far, I haven’t touched the knitting yet, that’ll come after I feel more comfy with crochet. I have made a few things to date: a lap blanket\/dog blanket cause the Sammy loves it, an owl, and 3 scarves, which have all gone to the same friend since she likes scarves. They just work great for learning I think, which is why I picked up Learn a Stitch Create a Scarf<\/a>. Currently, I’m making the first scarf in that.<\/p>\n

I’ve also picked up a bunch of nail polish and am slowing down my buying finally. Grabbed a 7 box set of Color Club neon from T J Maxx for $10. As I was water marbling, I found out that they’re also scented. Color club is a brand that I’ve never had any problems using to water marble my nails. This time was just filled with a strong grape smell on top of it all.<\/p>\n

Time for some pictures! All crochet is done with red heart colors from years ago, as it was scavenged from mom. The owl is a multicolor pink, blue and white. The blanket is a multicolor purple, green and magenta. The current scarf is made of 3 colors, thus allowing me to work on long double crochet and changing colors, dusty rose, green and blue.<\/p>\n
