My first time at Joann's! I went to the one in Bellingham, WA since Canada doesn't have Joann's. I got me a new clover crochet hook and some stitch markers, the ones I have were breaking for some reason. I've had them for awhile and they never broke on me until now. So I thought I would try some new ones. I was also missing a desk light so I got an LED one at Joann's. It was 50% off and small enough to store away if I didn't want it cluttering up my work area. The downside is that it uses batteries. It can be plugged in with a charger but they don't include one! Doesn't make sense! @_@<br />

It's very easy to make and a good project for parents to do with kids too!<br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
- large rectangular box (big enough for matchbox drawers)<br />
- 3 matchboxes<br />
<span id="goog_716416552"></span><span id="goog_716416553"></span>- some ribbon<br />
- 2 of those plastic safety corners for desks (I got mine at daiso) <br />
- cardboard big enough to fit inside the box<br />
- X-Acto knife (wiki link here: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Acto" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-Acto</a>)<br />
- scissors <br />
- glue<br />
<br />
Optional supplies:<br />
- paper to glue on top of rectangular box to make it prettier<br />
- modge podge (for paper projects)<br />
- paint (if you do not want to modge podge the surface of the bed)<br />
<br />
Please let me know if my pictures are not clear! and you can click the pictures for bigger ones. :D<br />

I started Mr. Penguin during my trip to Victoria. He has evolved from a wingless chicken to a sophisticated wing-flapping, bow-tie-wearing, cover-up-my-bald-spot cutie. :)<br />
<br />
He has since flown away to a new home~ <br />

But luckily I didn't forget my camera. :)<br />
<br />
We had breakfast on the ferry. Which was okay but next time I will remember not to get the scrambled eggs. <span id="goog_1383033734"></span><span id="goog_1383033735"></span><br />

After a couple hours there we went towards the downtown of Victoria and I found myself in a couple of craft supply stores. Now I bought yarn from <a href="http://www.yarnbythebag.com/" target="_blank">Yarn by the Bag</a> before but I've never been in their actual store <a href="http://www.beehivewoolshop.com/" target="_blank">Beehive Wool Shop</a>. I was very pleasantly surprised. :) It's a very big store and they had many beautiful blends of yarn. </div>

My brother and his girlfriend went to the <a href="http://www.royalbcmuseum.bc.ca/MainSite/default.aspx" target="_blank">Royal BC Museum</a> after lunch and the rest of us continued browsing downtown. I saw this ad in a flyer we picked up at Butchart Gardens and I found that we were walking in the vicinity of another craft supply store. How could I pass it up?<br />
<br />
This is <a href="http://www.buttonedup.com/" target="_blank">Button and Needlework Boutique</a>. The store window and the door pictures are from the <i>back</i> entrance of the store. This store was a little gem, it was wall to wall of buttons, yarn, embroidery floss in all the colours of the rainbow, and knitting/crocheting needles. The lady at the counter was very nice too. There were a lot of people in the store and only one of her but she did her best to help everyone. :) Please visit their site, they have catalogues of the buttons and supplies they carry. <br />

At this time I was very tired. It was about 5pm and I had only a few hours of sleep the night before so I took a nap on the way back to the ferry terminal. All in all, a good day, found some great craft places and got some beautiful pictures.kmykhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09059365646030089120noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2413767138633462267.post-9853237401130193782012-04-09T16:22:00.001-07:002012-04-09T16:22:08.311-07:00Sharing Crafting Love Pt. 1: Mochi Mochi LandI have a long list of crafting blogs that I'm following. There are many artists out there that create really gorgeous and adorable pieces of art, like <a href="http://mochimochiland.com/blog/" target="_blank">Mochi Mochi Land</a>! Blogger Anna creates tiny knitted amigurumi. It's really hard to express her art in words so let me show you one of her creations. :)<br />

She also has books on how to make them. I'm browsed through this particular one at the book store. My favourite patterns in it are the tiny chickens and the tiny hot dog. Now, if only I could finally teach myself how to knit.... :P

There were Japanese stalls for food like mochi and takoyaki and dancing and music. I found some turtles in a pond as well. You can see them in the second picture. :)<br />
<br />
The cherry blossoms this year was a bit lacking though.<br />
<br />

I know I've been lacking on the crafting part of my blog so here is a little something. At the Cherry Blossom Festival, there were Japanese stalls selling arts and crafts. I have a couple of souvenirs and name cards from some local artists.<br />
<br />
First off is a flyer for "Cherry Blossoms: A Textile Translation". At the stall they had beautiful needlecrafts of sakura trees. Just the detail put into the works was amazing. I really hope to go and take a look at the rest of the works.<br />
<br />
(On the Back) "<i>dyeing, beading, painting, photo-transfer, embroidery, sculpture, crochet, basketry, doll-making, embossing, stamping, origami, applique, printing, quilting, weaving, collage, felting</i>" <br />

Another stall that caught my eye is <a href="http://noei.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Noei</a>. The link is to her etsy store where she sells cute little pouches with Japanese fabrics. Her little sewing kits are adorable!<br />

I got myself a little souvenir too. Japanese chocolates from <a href="http://lachocolaterie-vancouver.com/" target="_blank">La Chocolaterie</a>. I got this sampler and it has lemon basil, raspberry cacao, strawberry, dark, coconut, and Japanese citron (yuzu). My SO has taking a liking to yuzu so I though he would like this too! <br />

There's still snow at the top of the mountains. Great place to take pictures but requires lots of leg muscles. :D<br />

As I said yesterday, we were going fishing today. It first started out looking like this.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But soon turned into this.<br />
<br />

We found a waterfall and little crabs. Can you find them in this photo?<br />

But we didn't have any luck catching fish for lunch, so we just ate the rest of our bait. :P Squid!<br />

Going to try this dessert I found on <a href="http://zakkalife.blogspot.ca/2010/06/recipe-coconut-granita-with-lychees.html" target="_blank">Zakka Life</a>. It's a coconut granita. It sounds pretty simple to make but requires a little more TLC in the making process. :D <br />

They usually aren't the best quality bags in the first place and then if you use them you feel like a giant walking billboard! So here's a little trick to make them a bit more personalized and a little less commercialized. :D<br />

It's been raining non-stop and my fur lined boots are waterproof so it's been my go to outfit. I ran across this tutorial for elastic pant clips the other day. The idea is to clip the bottom of your jeans down so they don't bunch up near the top of your boots. It seems like a really good idea, but I wonder if there's any chance it might pull my pants down.... :P<br />

I went to Fabricland and got some more fabric ($5 a meter!), some sewing machine oil, and found some zippers ($1 for the 3!) I think I am starting to hoard fabric now. :D<br />
<br />
So this is what the towers fabric became. I wanted to make it look like this mesh pouch that someone gave me. It was originally to hold some bath and body works items. It looks okay right?<br />
<br />

But this pouch is missing something. It's a little plain I think. I love the fabric but it needs a little something something.

The one with the towers fabric, I don't know how that will turn out. I just saw a pouch I wanted to recreate and started drawing a pattern. Fingers crossed!<br />
