Another superbowl… February 7, 2008

Another beer cozy.

I didn’t bring any knitting needles with me so i crocheted this cozy during the superbowl. I added the ruffley edge so the boys would quit eyeing it. They kept looking so i added a flower. I still didn’t leave it unattended.

On an unrealted note, i was tagged by Hannah (ages ago) to show everyone my computer desktop. I took the capture and put it in my flickr, but never mentioned it here.

The background is a photo of Arizona where I was collecting rock samples a while ago. Click through to flickr to see the notes.

I was luck enough to have my Ipod Tape Case chosen as a prize winner for the whiplash competition. My prizes were donated by tall poppy craft and are mostly purse making supplies, and are all fantastic.

Purse handles, magnetic snaps, ribbons and tags, and a quilt pattern

The cassette tape cozy was such a hit that I decided to make the Ipod Tape Case Redux. this one is crocheted from a VHS tape instead of knit from a cassette tape.

A VHS tape is essentially bulky weight, so it works up quickly. For inelastic materials crochet is certainly an improvement over knitting. I was motivated to craft this because of the Upcycle contest over at etsy. the contest is sponsored by the good people at Bazaar Bizaare, and some of the prizes include a free table at the Bazaar to be held at the Maker Faire this spring. I want in on that! I attended the Maker Faire last year and enjoyed all of it, including the bazaar. oh, to have my own table there….

Finally to indulge Helen a meme about how weird I am follows

Hey it’s my birthday (well, actually it was yesterday, but close enough)! I went to the beach to celebrate.

Thanks for all the birthday wishes internet friends!

Sweatshirts are standard wear on a northern california beach year round. In fact, I saw some kids in sweatshirts “swimming.” We were also the only people there without a kid or a dog. Until the hippies showed up… But they had a drum which is kind of the same.

Cheryl had a meme that i was kinda curious about, so i thought i would give it a go. It is a list of things that you may or may not have done. Click ‘more’ if you really want to see mine.
