kris knits (and sews, and crochets, …)

I took a needle felting class with my mom at Woolbearers and ended up with this lovely turkey.

My friend’s Memorial Day party had a prize for the person who dressed the most patriotic. I won.

I was Lady Gaga for Halloween this year and I decided to match a black lace outfit she wore. I made the mask, hat and pointed shoulders, and collected all the other pieces from ebay (lace top, lace stockings, nude bodysuit, leather half gloves). The mask is made from black flowers bought at Michael’s, pulled apart and hot glued to a plastic mask cut to shape, which was then hot glued to an old pair of sunglasses frames. The hat was made by covering a circle of cardboard with felt and sewing bigs loops of wire-lined sheer ribbon to the top. The pointed shoulders were just pieces of card stock shaped to get the right look.

I made these onesies for the new daughter of a former boss. Black onesies were hard to find but I finally got them at Pacifier.

The shirt is just from Target. Lisa needed some summer maternity wear.
