i'm starting this thread as I know alot of us like making things and i like seeing what people make, ideas etc.
I was cutting out a dress the other night, and the buns and cat insisted on lying all over the pattern-a bit like this cat:

such a cute pic hey

yep very cute, I'm working on a jewelry board. similar to this:
http://georgielove.com/miscellaneous-c-17.html?zenid=b79fbaeb00fe863026171cbbf5722931
but el cheapo- I'll not paying $200!!
So I've got a pin board but am still trying to decide on the design
Now why didn't that work??
yeah alot of her stuff is a mega rip-off. I hate to think how much the artists get. It's like etsy shops-the website takes 40%

you gotta save the pic to your computer first
as soon as i start doing "stuff" out come the cats. chewing on the end of knitting needles, jumping on thread. just wanting to help. in and out of plastic bags. one even goes to my wardrobe and helps himself to his own ball of wool and kicks the guts out of it with his back legs.
gotta love it!
i am currently cutting up old dresses and making them into new dresses.
I've been making brooches.
just remember to put a ! and then a [] and then the image source inside some ()

my kitten does this too!
it's cute, but irritating
why am I even in this thread?
recycling material rocks. i'm thinking about cutting up a dress and making a shirt. or maybe a loincloth.
what kind of brooches kuro?
i saw a lady at the camberwell markets the other day who makes her own buttons out of vintage scraps.
so adorable... all my coats are getting new buttons.
all sorts, sveltey. I'll make you one.
recycling is great. I've remade a couple of skirts and I'm making a red stripey dress for hanoi casey at the moment, hoping to finish it tonight.
i want to get back into beading again... it's a lot of fun.
i just don't have the cash at the moment for the initial outlay of 'stuff', so maybe in a couple of months time.
those georgie love prices are outrageous. i am always buying old stuff because the fabric is beautiful. i tell myself that one day i will do something with it. starting to get beyond a joke tho.
ooh, i nearly bought a huge roll of fabric from the alannah hill/dangerfield etc outlet on brunswick st on the weekend, but i couldn't actually carry it with me, so i didn't.
black canvas with bright pink shoes and handbags on it. who has a car and can bring it back to my house for me?
that would be so awesome kuro... thanks so much.
i'll think of a special present for you too.
I've just finshed making Roman blinds for the living room & bedroom. I've also made a MOUND of cushions from vintage fabric from Flashback. I made some cushions for Loadie too - now I am knitting a beanie for philspectator.
Next is a bass head cover for RnR reject!
Many projects on the go.

I crocheted my first beanie last night. So so much quicker than knitting one. Now I've got to make one for my sister so off to Cleggs today to get some more wool.
She thinks I should make this hilarious 'chicken viking' hat!
Yes they are chicken legs on top of that poor small child's head!
my purling needs work.
Any stitch and bitch sessions around town this winter?
juice - yes. although i think we need to have some messandnoise s'n'bs rather than the standard ones. details of melbs based s'n'bs are at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/snb-melbourne/ - check out the calendar.
if you want to get yr knit on, ravelry.com is a rather lovely place to be. sort of like a messandnoise for knitters, except much bigger, and no badalex.
I've been sewing sleeping bags for my little baby. Hes pretty snuggly in them.
Camo TRex - RAAA!
Wheres my pic? I am a bit rusty at this.
MONSTERS RAAAA!
marshall, when are you making me my blue gingham smock with ART! sewn into the front pocket????????????
on the weekend september taught me how to knit. this is a side i have never seen of september - she's a good teacher!
now i am building a scarf the same colour as my eyes.
it's damn rewarding and carthartic stuff.
ha. marshie made me those cushions three years ago and they are still going strong!
Hooray for knitting! After learning last year and finally mastering the purl I am on my 5th scarf and also making a long top/jumper from an 80s pattern (although I've already changed it a bit) a bit like those ones in Fat which they charge $600 for.
Thanks for the Ravelry link, gussetting. I am now knitting a stunt bootee with scraps prior to investing in some amazing yarn.
hmmm. the thread room (marta's yarns) is closing to the public in two weeks and doing all their trading online.
I'm knitting myself a pair of mittens, in a lovely cranberry-red wool/cashmere/silk. I somehow lost a stitch near the start, so the ribbing is a bit wonky near the beginning, but I don't think it matters.
When the mittens are done I'm going to knit myself a cranberry beret to go with them.
it's official mum! i'm famous! clara parkes reviewed socksummit in portland, and gave us a plug! yahoo!
'cause this thread is getting freaking huge, i've started a new one.
