non-nails post: my crochet masterpiece

Hey guys, I was going to post this along with some nails, but it is so great I think it deserves its own non-nails post. (And I'll post some nails later on tonight.)

So as I mentioned in my last couple posts, I like to crochet. And the day before yesterday I came up with this awesome idea. And yesterday I completed it successfully!

Hello kitty crochet hat!!!!
It's really silly and I'm sure I won't wear it many places/in public, but I just love it.
I wore it around the house all yesterday after I finished it! Hahaha.

Another picture is after the jump if you're interested.

Oh! And today is the last day for voting in the Bundle Monster contest!
If you have facebook, you can click here and vote for me.
Or if you don't have facebook, click here. (Those of you with facebook can actually vote on both links. 2 votes! Haha.)

Tadaaaa.
I came up with the idea/pattern all on my own :D

Okay.
I hope you enjoyed this non-nails post (and my silly face) and stay tuned later for some nails!

easter egg nails!

Finally I had some time to do the easter nails I had planned!
I like the way they turned out but my mom thought there was too much black.
Let's see what you think!
(Also you'll notice that I chopped off all my nice long nails)

As you can see I kinda messed up one of the lines on my ring finger, but please excuse that.
I still think they're adorable!
I like the thumb and middle finger especially.They turned out really good.

The easter bunny and her eggs! Haha!
I found this adorable Easter Hello Kitty at Old Navy!
And it had to make an appearance. I also have a Christmas HK. Maybe that one will make an appearance at Christmas!
I think the nails especially look cute in this picture too, they're kinda better from further away.

For these nails I used a base coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Whirlwind White.
Using a small brush I painted on the other colors, which are:
Joe Fresh - Powder Blue, Butter, Faded Violet
Wet N Wild Wild Shine - Tickled Pink
Icing - Mint 2 Be
And using a small striper brush I painted on the black details with WnW Wild Shine Black Creme.

I'm all ready for Easter! And I have Friday off! Yay!
I already know what I'm getting for Easter too.
Remember my amazing sheets that my extremely popular hearts hearts hearts mani was based off of?
More of those. But cotton ones for the summer. I'm still obsessed with them.
Actually I am so obsessed with those sheets that I've started making a crochet afghan like them.
So far I only have 2 squares done, but I'll show you anyway!

The green wool photographed strange, but it is actually identical to the sheets. I managed to find all the perfect wool colors!
This blanket is my summer project.
I know you guys liked my posts from a few months ago with my baking adventures, would you like to see more of my crochet adventures?

Okay, I'm going to go pass the time at work by doing a crossword and also working on my blanket! (Yes, I brought balls of wool to work.)
I hope you enjoyed my nails and my blanket-in-progress!
