Swap time!

Happy new year everyone!



It’s Swap time!



I has so much fun with the Mask swap last year that I thought I would do another one. What are we swapping this time? When I am glad you ask!!! How about …..



A SHOE!!!!!



That’s right alter a REAL shoe. We have all seen them and even watched videos on them so why not do one!! This will be a one on one swap and the shoe can be altered to do something (like a holder of something) or just look pretty. Also the person sending to you will not be the person you sent to. It’s a secret shhhhhhhh



Details :



The deadline to sign up will be Jan. 30th and on the 31st I will send out who you will send to.



You will have till Feb. 28th to mail out your shoe.



Shoe must be US size 5-7 womans. Please look at chart to see what size that is in your part of the world. ( hit up the thrift stores peeps)

The reason for limiting the shoe size is 1 shipping and 2 I don't someone to work on a size 12 and do all this work and then get a kids size 3. Trying to keep it fair.

RULES:



1.       You MUST email me your address to  Ladyoflosttimes@gmail.com by Jan 30th   11:59pm Eastern  to be in the swap.  You cannot just tell me I have to have an email. Please put Shoe swap in the Subject line and be sure the your address is correct. This email will be forwarded to the person sending to you.



2.       This is an open swap and there will be people overseas playing along. You MUST be willing to send internationally. The drawing of partners is random I will not be match making.



3.        You MUST send me a BEFORE AND AFTER picture of your shoe. In the last swap a lot of people wanted to see the end result but some people do not have blogs so I will be doing a blog post with all of the shoes done once everyone received them.



4.       This is Artist choice as far as color and style of the shoe.  I will not be asking for peoples favorite colors styles ect.  You MUST be willing to be open to all forms of art. The drawing of partners is random I will not be match making.



5.       TO THE SENDER: if you want to make it in the persons favor color or style you will have to enlist the help of spies. Unfortunately I will not be able to help on that part sorry.



6.        MOST INPORTANLY if you cannot send it to your partner on time or at all you MUST  email me ASAP! I hope that we will not have that problem due to having a month to work on it but I do understand that life can happen.







So what do you say are you in?? I hope so and I cannot wait to see all the all the wonderful piece of art you peeps make!!!

Craft Dungeon

As promised I am going to be playing catch up with blog post so here we go.

Welcome to my craft Dungeon!!


Many of you know we had to move in with my mom some time back and it as been a interesting time.The biggest problem for me was where to craft at. I would work on things in the bedroom but I would end up waking Dave or mom up with the heat gun or cause of talking to friends online. So in the summer I turned my mom's basement in to my craft room which after talking to A friend it is known as the Dungeon.

We took all the things that was in the little room down there up to our (me & Dave's) storage unit and set out to make the Dungeon.

                                                                        room o' crap

                                 The room cleared out. it's not that big but it works for me (7x12)

                           and done!!!!! it's not that clean now but hey I have been having fun in here!!

Thanks for stopping by

Fran

I have webs back!!!

I have internet back WOOOO HOOOO!!!! I lost it months ago but now we have it the house. So now I can blog again. I don't know if any one even still follows me or reads my post but I can still hope. I do have some post that I have to do about what I have done over the summer. I have a craft room now (my Dungeon) and I did a few knitted projects as well. I did take most of the summer off from any crafting and did a lot of reading. With having the Dungeon I will now be able to craft more and I am looking forward to it. I will try my best to post as offen as I can even if I dont have crafty stuff to show you. I will be adding life posts as well but dont worry I will try to keep rants down. At some point I was thinking to stop all other postings (twitter/facebook/ect) and just go to blogging but that is still in the air. I hope that you are all well and I cant wait to reconnect with you and and the blogs I follow. Fran

Bag it and Tag it

I know that you haven’t seen any crafty post from me since the pendants but that will be changing soon. I don’t have anything working right now well uummm I do but they are going to be other post. Any hoo I am going to take July to get my stuff organized. I have been making craft kits. I have been taking my supplies and grouping them together into 14x16 zip bag (love those things). I started with my yarn and have been figuring out different projects for them. I took all the Granny Block that I made for the Linus blankets and grouped into the different colors and put one blanket in a bag. I also have been printing off all the projects that I have had been wanting to do and matching them up with the yarn I have now they are ready to go to. All the other yarn that have no home yet and that is acrylic will be used for cat cage blankets for animal shelters (more on that in another post).

I will be doing this with all my other craft stuff as well. The best part about having kits at the ready is that when I want to make something I don’t have to dig for all the parts. I can just grab a bag and go. I have crafters A.D.D. so having different projects ready to go is great!!

My cute supervisor always keeping his eyes out on my work lol.

I have a vacation coming in 2 weeks (woot!) and I am going to tear apart my mom’s basement. There is a small room down there that we hold all the xmas and Halloween stuff plus some junk that I want to try to see if I can turn into my craft room. I will still have to share it with the other things but I am great at puzzle piecing. As many of you know I have all my stuff in my bed room and it gets hard to craft in there because I work at night and everyone is trying to sleep. So if I can make my own Craft Dungeon in the basement I will be one happy camper!! Its going to take a lot of work but it will be sooooooo worth it!!!

I hope to get back to updating on here more often once my craft stuff is done. I just really haven’t because I just have given up on making things. But if I can make the craft room happen I know that I will be a lot more productive. I also hope to start making TTMT videos again and get back into the groove that I had 5+ years ago.

See ya soon!
