I love these socks. The intricate pattern just blows me away that anyone can do this.Socks I made for my daughter for Christmas that I am going to have to completely redo because I messed up the heel (too big).Oh, well, now I'll have something to do for next Christmas!
Made a couple mistakes on the front but not as noticeable--maybe the next pair will be better.

(And it'll be so much easier when you go back to it because of what you've already learned.)

WOW Those are awesome socks!
Oh how I know that feeling. It's a matter of tone for me. Two people can be whispering to each other at the same loudness level. One I will hear perfectly because of the pitch of their whisper. I can't remember if it's high tones or low tones I have trouble with. I mostly have trouble in crowds.
I've been reading lips since I was three, high temp from measles; unfortunately, the habit of reading lips is so ingrained that if a person is standing in front of me but with his back to me, I will not hear what he said. Pitch is a BIG problem for me too. Crowds are awful!!
HA!!

@Lepplady -- I have moved the picture of your bow into the appropriate thread for personal crafts. It's lovely!
ooooh. Groovy. I was starting to wonder if I posted it here and forgot. Nope. *whew*
Tankies.
My oldest cat Amber thinks I made her the coolest new toy. I've had to take it away from her half a dozen times today. No matter where I put it, she finds it. And she digs through my bags of ribbons and stuff like it's all for her. I have to tie the bags up and keep 'em behind locked doors.HA!!

...I did cut her some ribbon to keep, though. I mean, she's a cat after all.
I am having too much fun with this glue gun.
Sending these hair pins to my granddaughter.

She'll be three this summer. So I'm including a note to mom to be careful about little parts that could break off.
And I'm making beads
It's blurry thanks to crappy cell phone camera, but I'm having a load of fun with 'em.

Do you put the rivets in before you bake the clay or glue them in after?
The grommets go in before baking. The glaze goes on after.
Grommets! Thank you! I knew rivets wasn't quite right but couldn't think of the right word--grommets. I'd seen something a little while back where they had used paper to make the beads and they'd then glued the grommets in to give them the look of Pandora beads. That's what these reminded me of. Again, nice job!

Again, nice job!Thanks. That's my first one. I'll need to get a new toaster oven before I can make any more clay goodies though. The old one almost burned down the kitchen. LOL!Grommets! Thank you!

Here's the bracelet I made with it.
