Lariath- Live a Little.

My dad has been using a shot glass as an egg cup for a good few months now...so  I thought I'd buy him a unique egg cup. However the only ones I could find were pretty boring; An excuse to get my craft on. Searching on the internet I found out how to decorate porcelain easily and cheaply: All I used was a sharpie pen which I already had around the house and an oven (which I already had around the house....). I bought 2 plain white porcelain egg cups (they were pretty cheap). I purchased two because I can't draw for toffee, I needed a backup. All I did was grab the egg cup and a sharpie and get drawing. When my 'masterpiece' was finished I put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Voila unique egg cup. As the first one turned out ok(ish) my boyfriend attacked the second one with Johnny Depp characters beause Depp is awesome. 

I made a crochet phone cover ages ago for my old phone and never got round to finishing it off or using it. Now I have one of those MASSIVE phones... small phones seem to have disappeared of the face of the planet...  So instead of throwing the phone cover away I decided I'd see if it came in useful for something. A few days ago I decided I needed a pin cushion because I keep loosing my needles in the sofa, which could end up very painful. It is very frustrating spending half your time looking for things instead of making things. So here is where the crochet phone cover came in handy. Just stuff it sew up the open end and add some cute stuff.... The pattern for the phone cover that I used about a year ago can be found  Here.   Just made it to whatever size I wanted. Instead of the thick strap for the button I made a thin strap just using chain stitches to my desired length and sewed the end on. To make it into a pin cushion as I said all I did was stuff the phon...
