Hey followers! I need your opinions on this choker that I'm designing! I've actually made it, but I'm too lazy to take pics right now. So instead, I'm going to show you my Photoshop prototypes!A few things before you start commenting away:1. The "original" prototype pic was too long so it now has only 4 of those filigree connectors. (2 on each side)2. Right now, there are sets of 3 chains on

2009-06-07T19:30:00.004-05:00

I received my prize from Beth and I must say that the white roses and pearls necklace is so much more stunning in person! I need to get a photo of me wearing it but I don't have a pretty enough outfit to wear it with at the moment. :)So... I believe I plan for certain events a little too early sometimes. This one would be my wedding. (I'm not even engaged yet but I will be soon..... lol) I've

2008-03-14T13:50:00.007-05:00

I like to make stuff for people.... which is kinda bad because I never get paid for my stuff. :SAnywhos, these are most of the gifts I've made for my friends from Christmas 2007 till now.A hoodie I bought at Wal-Mart and added a stencil and hand-made ying-yang patch. A gift and modeled by my boyfriend. Patch was painted with fabric paint and design was hand done as well.My first knitted item ever

So I've been busy...

2008-03-07T14:32:00.005-06:00

I've been busy with school, but at the beginning of this year I posted most of my jewelry onto Facebook along with prices.Within a day, I had requests flooding in for jewelry commissions. I was so happy. :DThey've slowed down now, but I still have some commissions that come in about every couple of weeks. Anywho, here's the jewelry I've made so far along with prices.*NOTE: I'm not limited to just

Downy The Fuzzy Orange Downs-Syndrome Sperm Whale

2008-01-06T02:56:00.001-06:00

So... after Asky the fuzzy blue squidopus, my boyfriend asked for a fuzzy orange whale for his Christmas present.I found the perfect pattern [here] and 2 yards of curly orange fur from eBay and sat and stared for a while until I felt like actually starting. (I was knitting my first scarf at the time so I was actually busy with something else.) Since I had so much of the orange fur, I decided to

Earrings v1.0 [Image Obese]

2007-12-24T02:38:00.002-06:00

Wells, I've been lazy and haven't posted anything I've crafted in awhile. Since it's nearly Christmas now, I've been busy making Christmas presents for most of my friends. I've been in Texas visiting my sister-in-law, brother, and six month old niece and shopping like a madwoman. Since my hometown is small and crappy, I don't have any awesome craft stores like Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or JoAnn's.

Asky the Blue Fuzzy Squidopus

2007-09-27T22:35:00.001-05:00

Meet Asky, the blue fuzzy squidopus from the Trans-Atlantic Rift.He was born from a simple request from my boyfriend who asked me to make him a blue fuzzy squid for his birthday. So... I went about searching for patterns and found a pattern for a cephalopod on Craftster.org. The most awesome thing about him is that the blue fur was from an ugly vest I found on eBay. I searched everywhere for

Stuffed creations!

2007-09-27T22:16:00.002-05:00

So... one of my good friends has a story where she killed a rabbit when she was 4 with a PVC pipe. She also likes the Akatsuki from the anime, Naruto.... so I decided to mix the two themes together.... and here is the result.A stuffed black rabbit with interchangeable eyeballs and a removable, hand-knitted scarf.<-- Dead bunny <-- Dizzy/Confused Bunny <-- Retarded Bunny <-- Akatsuki Bunny w/

Cat hat of DOOM!

2007-07-09T01:00:00.002-05:00

Well... after attempting to sew with slippery velvet to make a plush rabbit.... I gave up and tried my hand at making a cat hat from a tutorial I saw on Craftster. I thought it would only take me like an hour, but it took me like 2 1/2 instead. I got the fabric from a light blue college hoodie my friend threw out since she got ink and highlighter stains on the sleeves. I just cut the fabric off

More creations!

2007-05-13T01:19:00.001-05:00

Well, this is my last post for a month. I won't be sewing or crafting anything while in London. (Or at least I hope not...) Anywho, while taking a break from packing, I finished the U-shaped butt pillow and my sock armwarmers.Armwarmers:Right arm--> Left arm--> Well, luckily my camera didn't pick up on the crappy seam around the thumb part. I was supposed to use a modified mattress stitch to

Clothing Recons

2007-05-12T19:44:00.001-05:00

More crafts ahoy! This time I went through my older sister's closet for old t-shirts she doesn't wear anymore. I found 2 cute shirts and decided to make one into a halter and the other into a cute ruched-side tank. Many of these designs were inspired by Generation T: 108 Ways to Transform a T-Shirt.Here's pics of the white ruched tank:Front--> Side view of ruched side--> Here's pics of the yellow

Hello! It's the Bitchin Stitcher!

2007-05-09T15:32:00.000-05:00

Ahoy! And welcome to my craft blog "Stitchin n' Bitchin." I'll be posting up completed or work-in-progresses of my current projects.But anywho, I have my first project finished. My roommate wanted a plush of a kodama from the anime movie "Princess Mononoke." I've never made a plush before, so what the hell? I might as well try once.Being a college student low on cash, I was too cheap to buy good
