Bah! My first post of the year and I'm going absolutely bonkers right now. I want to start my crafting resolutions, but Little Man barely lets me put him down for a second. And when I finally get him to quiet down and go to sleep, I'm too tired to do anything. And then to top it off, I can't decide which project I'm going to start on first. It's a toss up between this purse recon I want to do, or my PaPa Roach hoodie idea. Not to mention I have one hoodie I started on before the baby was born and I haven't finished it yet. Then there are all of these other craft idea's that I want to work on, yet I want to work on them all at once! It's driving me insane! lol.
Came across this user here on Live Journal yesterday. Man oh man does she have some interesting projects. She owns her own store. She does all of this alternative clothing. the kind of stuff you'd think you'd find in Hot Topic, only this stuff is better. The kind of stuff that I'd kill to have. She's got a 12 year old son, who she makes stuff for too. See that's what I want to be.. I want to be the cool mom. I want my son to be able to look at the stuff that I make and beg me to make him one too. I just have to get into sewing. It's not my forte' lol. Anyway. Here is the list of projects I want to work on and actually start and FINISH here in the year 2008:
*Phrased onesies for my son which include the following:
- Fuss Bucket
- Splody Butt! (I don't think I need to explain that one, lol)
- Time Bomb
- Grandpa's Little Harley Rider or Grandpa's Little Biker Buddy
- Make Poop (This one will only make sense to those who know who Mr. Safety from YouTube is)
- Hey Little Sparta (Again, a Mr. Safety reference)
- I may possibly do a LonelyBaby15 one (need I explain? lol)
- My hand prints
*Finish the Faux Hawk hat for my son
*Finish his knitted baby blanket
*I plan on cutting his name out from cardboard and building them up with paper mache' to put on the wall
*Work on his baby book and scrapbook and Start a scrapbook for my boyfriend
*I have a purse I'm going to recon
*I want to make a couple of scoodies, one for my and one for my mom
*Knit a couple of scarves
*I have a Zip Up hoodie that I started some fabric paint work on, it's almost finished, all I have to do is put the silver wings on the back
*I have a plain black hoodie that I'm going to put a PaPa Roach reference on
*I also have a plain black t-shirt, I'm going to put Flyleaf across the front of it and put a hood on it.
*There are also some hooded -shirts that I want to make too.
There will be more projects. I'm sure of it. Just about every time I go onto craftster.org or CraftGrrl I find something that gives me inspiration. Oh and I plan on having a album, in my pictures, dedicated to just my crafts. I will probably regret this (because it'll be more projects than I can handle), but if anyone has any cool idea's as far as baby onesies go, let me know.
