Road trip!!

So at the end of last month I took a road trip to see a friend who was giving birth soon. It was her sister, mother and I on this trip. My friend gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. In the mean time while we all waited for the newest addition I was busy making things. Two monkeys and some flowers for a yarn bomb. I love to travel and yarn bomb the places I visit even if it is a simple one.

Then last Sunday my P.I.C invited me to the park to do some yarn bombing. We sat there and hung out and watched all the passers by torcher themselves as we sat and crocheted. She made one for the tree and I made one for the lamp post. I love those colors!!! they are so bright an vibrant! I hope you enjoy!!

Crestline

So a good friend of mine asked me to go with him while he had to sit at a bank in Crestline, Ca because he works for a security company and he had to watch the bank. So while I was sitting there I wanted to do something while I was there. I finally remembered a heart pattern I had done. It super easy! And Voila! There you have it!

November yarnbombing

So today I decided that I would go and sit at my local Starbucks and sit and make all 21 of my yarnbombs. Well I finally did what I set out to do. All 21 are made and the need tags added to them and then the distribution can begin. I have done the hardest part of it all now. I think I am going to have to create a special page on my website for this particular event. I have considered doing clusters of them. There are three colors so maybe I will group them together.

I rather like the idea of participating in a, what I am assuming is a world wide event. Well I guess it is safe to assume because I know pixi knit is doing it and she is in England. And I am sure I saw something about it being done in Australia. So then it is! :)

I hope my hearts make people feel special. Love them and take the home and smile every time they see it.

Updated

Well yesterday I FINALLY got around to uploading pictures and things to my computer. I was able to update the website with my latest creations.

I am however two days behind in the 21 days to yarnbomb November. Maybe I will just make a bunch for December.

Stay tuned......

21 Days to yarnbomb in November....

So when I was first invited to join I wasn't going to do it, but now I am rethinking it. I haven't done any yarnbombing in quite sometime. I feel like I should be doing some so people will smile, but I have been so incredibly lazy!!! UGH!! It always seems to win out! So here I am with less then 5 hours to go for the day...... Guess I should get crackin!

Whats next....

Well I had finally completed the yarnbombing for the 18th street arts center. I didnt get everything done that I wanted to do but I got most of it done. It was such a great experience and I had so much fun meeting new people and seeing what they came up with.

I took a few things down but left somethings there so that there would still be something there. I guess there was a memo sent out that I didnt see asking us artists to leave our things up but I did not see it until it was to late.

Now I have to find new homes for the things I took down. Most of which I have plans for!!! yay!!

I have a few other projects that I need to work on before I can get back to my yarnbombing activities!

More to come!

UPDATE:


     Went to this months meeting alone. My partner in crime had a wedding to go to so she couldn't make it. BUUUTTT I did get a lot done in the past two months. So far I have the no parking sign/ 4x4 post/ white pole done. They are all right next to each other so I had to make it larger the farther down I went. The colors look awesome!!! I should have brought it so I could put it up, but oh well. I also finished the pole that goes diagonally down on the outside of the building where all my other poles are. It is a yarn that is variegated and goes from dark green to light green to white and starts all over again. I want it to look like ivy and not a pole which I think I accomplished well! YAY!!! :) So i have started on the pole people, which i ned to figure out how to give them arms. I could just have them laying straight down, which would make it way way easy but then where is the fun in not complicating my yarnbombing project even more!!! So after that I am going to work on the white pole that are connected to the no parking sign pole. And if i have time, a.k.a get off my lazy ass and start crocheting like there is no tomorrow (LOL "rapture"), then I will be able to get this all done! YAY!

I love going to the meetings and seeing what the others are working on. This one girl named Laura made a gigantic heart, a real looking one. It looks so great!! I am so excited for this to be done!!
