Craftster Stocking Stuffers 2009

Posted by cassandra Monday, November 09, 2009

I spent a little time tonight on my Stocking Stuffer partner's package. She's pretty awesome. Like most of my partners.

So here's what I got done tonight:

There's 2 hedgehog notecards, a small notecard, tea, a tea house thing, three soy candles, a small DIY candle kit (melt the wax and the fragrance, pour it yourself!), a "42" pendant, the Roald Dahl magpo.

I'm still planning a "night owl" pillowcase and a bookmark. I'm also making a small first aid kit and something out of this black cat wooden cutout (maybe a Christmas ornament?). So that's probably it for that swap.

Craftster Secret Santa 2009

Posted by cassandra Monday, November 09, 2009











































I spent a good portion of tonight crafting...I'm getting excited about sending my packages off to their new homes.

I worked on my secret santa package for a bit. My partner is into Jimmy Buffett so I decided to make a candle set (layered and triple-fragranced with soy wax, color and glitter!) using titles of Jimmy Buffett songs. As you can imagine, the set is very tropical!

We have "Grapefruit Juicy Fruit", "Coconut Telegraph", "Last Mango in Paris" and "Fruitcakes". I think they came out ok but they're still setting. I've never tried glitter before but in the colorless candle, it seems to have a really nice pink, iridescent sheen throughout the candle. Anyway. That's it for my Secret Santa partner!

Friday Afternoon Projects.

Posted by cassandra , 11.06.2009 Friday, November 06, 2009




















I've been busy today! I have two swaps I've been "participating" in. I haven't done a damn thing til today.

So swap #1: Stocking Stuffer 2009--twenty "small" items.
For today, I've accomplished the following

  • a holiday candle set (*she* likes baked good smells...not I but it's not for me...)









  • Roald Dahl magnet poetry using his randomly awesome words that don't factually exist.


















Also on the docket:
  • a "Night Owl" pillowcase--it's gonna be awesome. We're both into owls.
  • a smattering of tea and a loose leaf tea brewer thing (not crafted)
  • some hedgehog notecards*
  • a "42" pendant (hitchhiker's guide)*
  • a bookmark with some sort of quotation*
  • a small, purple first aid kid to keep in a bag*
That's about all I know for now.
*=craft in progress, no picture yet.
