Spirograph Stationary

Here is a fun idea for a rainy day: Spirograph stationary. Yeah sure, it seems like a toy for kids, but you can't deny, these designs are pretty cool.


I bought white cards from Target which cost me less than $3.00. Then I used a Spirograph set. These can be found on Amazon: here. (or borrow one from a friend who was born in the 90s) Follow the directions to make cool designs, but I would suggest practicing on a piece of scrap paper before making the cards just to get used to the feel.


The most difficult part about this craft is not smudging the design. Otherwise: easy + fun=awesome.

Crocheted what?

It may seem strange, but it's true: crochet bikini tops are the new hipster trend. (Just google it!) So I thought I'd make my own pattern and see how it turns out.

This top took about 3 hours to make. It is single crocheted with Red Heart yarn, and crocheted with yarn hook size H.

The design is made to support and protect. The double string straps insure sturdiness, and the 15 stitch long side panels keep the top relatively modest. (pattern available upon request)

The top is not for swimming in, but are bikinis really for swimming in? This top is 100% made for showing off.

 Add a little extra something to the center to hide the sewing and add some flair!
