Some things I've made. Now with potato-y goodness!

I've been a busy, little bee lately.  As I said earlier, I've got a waiting list of friends who wanted hats and such from me.  My camera's still down and out, but I wanted to make sure I had pictures of finished products before I handed them off.  So, here are some potato pictures from my cell phone.

This is a Hello Kitty hat I made for my friend Kattie.

Kattie loved her hat so much, she paid me to make her a dead Hello Kitty hat!

Per her stylistic requests, this is how the hat turned out.

Not crochet, but still craft-related...

My step-dad recently gave me a bunch of ceramics and some paint.  When I get tired of crocheting, I'll pull out some paint and decorate something.

Of all the things that I've painted, this one has to be my favorite.  It's a cute, little cookie jar in the shape of an owl.  Most of the animal pieces I had, I've painted pretty lifelike, but this one I wanted to have fun with.

After I had it painted and baking in the oven, I was browsing ceramic owl pictures on Google and I noticed other people had my style of owl cookie jar.  Then, I noticed something about theirs that was different from mine...

I DON'T HAVE THAT FUCKING TINY OWL ON TOP!!!

There's a little hole on top for the little guy to connect to, but alas...  he didn't come with when my step-dad bought all the ceramics.  I hope the shop didn't pull them apart and sell them separately; that's just too sad of a thought.  It's like a mother being separated from her baby.  I'm still on the lookout for the baby piece.  Preferably, unpainted so it's easier for me to match them together.

I still love my little cookie jar, though, and if I never find the baby, a little handle should work fine.
