Tie Dye Inspired Headband Ear Warmer

So, here's the thing, I look horrendous in hats - but mostly beanie style hats. After a couple of years of cold ears during winter, I decided to make myself a hat alternative - and here it is :) Can't wait for the weather to turn colder so I can wear it!

Tie Dye Inspired Wearable Art Scarf

Ok so recently I decided to participate in a "Pay It Forward" Art project where I had to make a piece of art for whomever signed on to the project and a friend of mine Jon Eric, an amazing musician from the States, signed on, now I have seen this guy in tie dye plenty of times so I figured if I was gonna make him anything it had to have plenty of movement and plenty of colour. This is the result:

I am more than happy with how the design turned out - especially since I designed as I went and learned some new techniques on the way. :) 

Retro Granny Ripple Table Mat and Bag Bag.

My sisters birthday is coming up, she is really into retro decor. 

I decided to make her a retro table mat and matching bag bag. 

The stitch I chose to use is called granny ripple, you can find a tutorial for it here . Sure hope she likes it!
