Magazine Basket

I saw this a work today. It is a basket made out of old magazine pages. I made a smaller basket out of wicker when I was little and it was really hard to get the wicker to move the way you wanted it to go. Using old magazines must be a lot easier to use. I think that I might try this over the summer.

Cupcakes

We had a cupcake competition in my dorm today. We each needed to decorate three cupcakes. I made mine into a flower and a bee. I used the third cupcake as the wings for the bee (I ate one before I thought to take a picture).

Colors

I finally finished taking all the pictures for my color swatches. I made Mini Cubies for the color swatches for the fleece and for the yard I just used the yarn right out of the package. To see all of the fleece colors and yarn colors go to ParanoidSquirrel on Facebook or Flickr.

Earth Day

What do you do with your fabric scraps? If you throw them out,why don't you put them to good use.  I use fabric scraps to stuff plushies when I'm working on a pattern. I use them so I don't waste the scraps. Also, I don't waste good stuffing on a experimental pattern.

What can you do for Earth Day?

Cubies in the mail

First mini Cubie is in the mail! It fits nicely in a CD envelope. I need to make some more envelope labels. The ones that I have got waterlogged and they have my old logo when the tail of the squirrel was still weird. It looked like a ferrets tail, lol.

ParanoidSquirrel.com

I worked on my website a little more today. Godaddy.com still has all of their logos at the bottom of the page. I don't know how to get rid of them, but I'm not in a rush.
I have a copy of Frontpage 2003 that I need to find. It is somewhere in all of my CD's. Hopefully it will help me make a better web page. I have not used it in about 6 years. T_T   I'll need to learn it all over again. Wish me luck.

Keychain Cubies

Yay for mini Cubies!!! Mark5 wanted me to make the mini Cubies onto keychains. Here is the one that I made for Blu. It is the first one that I finished. I still need to get more googly eyes. I don't have small ones. The one on this mini Cubie is 5cm (if I remember correctly). I need to get ones that are under 1cm. I will hopefully get them on Friday. I need to get a glue gun too. The one that I'm using right now overheats the googly eyes and if I'm not careful the black part of the googly eye will get stuck in place. When I first started making Cubies, to cool off the hot glue I would put the Cubie into the freezer for a minute. It works well, but it looks really funny when you take a plushie out of the freezer.

Website, under construction!

I have my own website now!!! This will be the third website I have worked on. But, I still need to finish it tho. ^_^  But right now it need to work on a presentation for my technical writing class. I so don't want to have to do the presentation. T_T It is on an article from PC World. The article is about solid-state drives and hard drives. Okay, now back to work.

Dream Harder

Dream Harder was Friday, so I brought my camera with me to see what it could do. I found out that the strobe was not helping, the shutter speed was off. It needed to be shorter. I'll read the manual and will hopefully be ready for Hard Hits on Saturday. ^_^

Flickr

I just set up a Flickr account today. ParanoidSquirrel's Pix (I might change the name) I think that I am going to have to get a pro account. 100MB for uploads is not that much when it comes to pictures. With my new camera each picture was about 2MB before I found the settings. Now they are about 1MB. Hopefully I can take new pictures to replace the ones that I have in my etsy shop right now. I want to start to taking pictures for the Hard Hitters, I hope I have enough room on my Flickr page.
