These are stitch markers I made for a swap I got the bottle caps for free from the old fashion soda store at the Mall I put holes in the caps with an Awl and glued buttons to the inside. The buttons I got a year and a half ago 24 for 99 cents. plus shipping. I broke the shanks off the buttons first. I wanted to fill the caps with resin but they seem so heavy when they are. And heavy stitch counters didn't seem like a good plan, so I Just left them as is. I may make more of them as charms but with the resin for Christmas.
All sort of crafts and SCA projects, and sometimes dinner. it is a true goulash of things to do and eat.

This is a wet bag. Not that it is wet mind you.
It is for wet dish towels and dish rags It is lined with more of that Air mattress that you have seen me use here before. I make dish clothes and so when they need washing I don't have them sitting some wear getting moldy. then when I go down stairs to wash I just grab them all at once. We pull the wash clothes from the bath room and put them in here too.

Wristlet
This is a wristlet I made. I used the design of the fabric as the pattern for the beading. It is a day of the dead fabric. I made it for a 44 cent swap. I had the Fabric left over from another project and I always have beads and ribbon on had. I used Velcro for the closer.

Steam Punk pewter casting
I was inspired by Genus Girl web comic to do this steam punk metal casting. The coin looking piece was made when I was warming the mold but I liked it so much I am keeping it and drilling out the hole for a bale.
Little things
there is a part of some of us that has the urge to collect small things. Here you can see some of the small things I collected the silver Lego's from the 25 year anniversary addition of Lego boxes. the miniatures out of my favorite tea. I really want to find that tea again. and just a bunch of other strange things that would only have meaning to me.
