Crafting Updates

How's your crafting lately?
I've been neglecting my crafts these past several weeks...I blame the very warm weather that's not conducive to crafting. Add to that, I have gotten in the habit of shopping, even just strolling at the mall to escape the heat. However, I realize I can't afford spending much and now I should get back to work!
First, I had to take care of the painting job on my working table. This had been waiting outside for a while, now I think I'm going to finish the job by tomorrow. I probably needed a little push, and I did get one when I met up yesterday with my friend, Cat. I think we both decided to focus more on crafting and designing and avoid distractions ;)

Vogue Knitting Crochet 2013
Even though its not in my wishlist, I consider myself lucky to find this issue at a local bookstore for only P70.! That's one advantage of going out shopping at the mall ;)



And now for a bit of an investment, I ordered this photography book from a crafting friend and got it after several weeks. There were some surprise items in the package too, thanks Fe!
That was before I found out about The Book Depository...where shipping is free ;)



I hope to be more productive and apply the photography tips that I'll learn from this book :))

  2. I have been the same way, not wanting to do crafts. I did crochet two Pokeballs for Eon, though. :) I can't wait to see your finished table. I have been kind of in the mood to paint too. (The cabinets in the bathroom here, every time I go in there I think "I should paint those, they look horrible..) ;P Your magazine looks nice, I hope you find a project to get you back in the mood to crochet. :)

    1. Hi Tina, painting really makes so much difference at a very low cost and a few hours of your time. Its not one of my favorite things to do, but I can't wait to get my table back ;)

    1. It isn't as easy as I thought it would be, after the first coating it still looked ugly. I have a lot of sanding to do...and that's the hard part :(
