So You Think You're Crafty: Audition Results

NOTE: There is now a full tutorial for how to make these. Just go here.

I've been waiting to post this blog today for Missy at So You Think You're Crafty to post hers.

I gotta tell you guys.... YOU WERE ALL WRONG! I couldn't believe my eyes when that book lamp starting getting all these votes and you guys kept telling me how you were just soooo sure it was mine.

Even my own sister's!

I know, I know, it was all done out of love.

So now that you realize the book lamp wasn't mine, I suppose I'll have to tell you which one was.


These little shiny's are all mine. Each of my kids has a set... with my actual phone number on it.

Not 867-5309.

Did anyone catch that little wittiness of mine?

Hahaha, I'm so funny.

I really wasn't expecting my craft to do so well. I mean I spent a lot of time considering changing which craft I submitted and then, there I was at the top of the rankings. I couldn't believe it! All I wanted out of this was to not fail miserably... I am truly amazed that anyone thought my craft was so great.

Even if it wasn't anyone from around here. ::wink::

So, how long do you think I'll last? I'm so scared.

I have so much on my plate right now that I can't believe I'm even attempting this. What with Ralexwin's graduation and the move across the country and the house going up for sale... I just think I might have been a little insane to try for this at the same time.

I'm scared too. Too much good stuff over there...

My family kept saying they was sure that wasn't mine because the phone number wasn't mine... I wanted to scream!

Congratulations on such an awesome craft, by the way.

It's scary to think that someone in this group will be ranked with Dana-Made-It and Lil' Blue Boo. No pressure.

Haha! I love that everyone thought the book lamp was yours because all my friends thought it was mine too! They would tell me, "I voted for you!" and then tell me what they actually voted for. Oh well, still in it!
Well done!

I so voted for the wrong thing. I looked through your blog to get a feel of what your like and I guess wrong so wrong but hey you made it and I hope you make it far. It sounds like you have a lot on your plate but you got this far right?

@Jill,
It almost makes me want to not mention it to my family again. Just in case. ;)

@Melissa,
Missy from SYTYC told me that the auditions were strictly anonymous and to think outside the box. So I did! Evidently I though so far outside of my normal box that no one recognized it. :)

@Sarah

Oh, my goodness! You're right, I haven't done a tutorial about this at all. ::head desk:: It was my highest voted craft too.

I'll have to do that, maybe this weekend and I'll post it up next week. :)

How does that sound?!

How-To Pretend You Work For Anthropologie

The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?

Altered Shoe Art: Ring Holder Shoe Tutorial

Image
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it. I tried about a million different decorations before settling on one that didn't drown out my rings. I wanted them to the focal point. This is also why I went with black fabric and not something more vivid. Don't be intimidated by the lack of 101 I'm giving you. It really is a straight forward sort of project. If you know how to use a glue gun without burning yourself you can do this. Just be sure to dust off your imaginative brain space first. :) The one important thing you might be wondering is how I got the pink fabric to stick to the shoe. I really just Mod Podged it on. There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section. I thought that might have been easier, but I had scraps o...

Yo-Yo Ma

Once, years ago, I got into an argument on a baby-names forum about music. A woman had posted a thread asking how other mothers felt about music and children. Her argument was that she allowed her children to listen to whatever music they wanted to because how could they possibly choose for themselves if they didn't know what to choose from. Mothers around the globe, and more specifically on the forum, applauded her. I did not. 'What types of music are you letting them listen to?' I asked. 'Jay-Z, Snoop Dog... whatever they want!' I was shocked. Her children were.... children, young enough to be significantly influenced by what they heard. I said as much and immediately became the bad guy. Attacked from all sides I found myself alone. I considered how naive I must have been to assume that it made sense to everyone that controlling what your kids saw and heard was important. It made sense to me! This goes out to my Brooklyn crew put ya guns up in th...
