Be honest.
You're not here for my literary wonders.
You're here for the patterns.
I'm working on it.
WIP:
Sewing: Any interest on how to turn a hand towel into an overnight toiletry bag? (because I've done it.)
Learning to knit: How the heck do you purl?
Crochet (is on the back burner): I'm thinking about it. Sometimes.
******** Want me to figure something out? Try something new? Show how to make the bag?
Ask. Comment. C'mon. Someone.
I'm here, blogging here, for you! The people!
Nowwwwww, "Tell me whatcha want, what ya really really want!"*********

Yeah, I'm boring. Get over it.
12:53 AM, May 30
(the parental units are making me get off.....gah! better work downstairs. Again)
I'm making a soap cover.
And not just any ordinary soap cover- a soap cover for the ones you get at hotels!
....
Okay, let me explain.
In New Orleans, the hotel I stayed at had these citrus mint soaps that I liked. Alot.
So every day I painstakingly collected them from the bathroom and stuffed them in my bag.
And now, here I am, with ten citrus mint scented cruddy bars of the stuff laying around.
Time to use them, Kayla style.
(dies a little inside)
--------
Or today, June 1.
I'm not too good at needlework... I suck, really.
This was going to be a domo, but I didn't have any red felt on hand.
I'll make - and put up the super easy pattern in a bit!
You watching- you watching---??
Here we go, uber simple!!
With a 5mm/US H8
-Ch 19, combine into ring- making 20.
-Sc around until covering soap (took me 14 rows)
-Dec around.
-Dec, slip stitch around until about 4 ch remain- close.
DECORATE!

Kudos to Hippie Sandals
Alaina: 1
Kayla: 0
(this page is in some serious need of color (-colour for my UK friend who doesn't know me!-)
The hippies win this time around with some uber comfortable sandals that I've been making the past few hours.
They're just so much fun to work with!!!
Christine Andrews, the mind and workings of the blog Basketweave thought these up! (her first pattern, too).
I wanted to post on her site to tell her what a wonderful job she's done...
Alas, it won't allow me to post on her page. That's gonna bother me.
Maybe, if I wish upon some cheesey Disney movie, she'll stumble upon my blog and be all like "my gawd! you dirteh american- you've soiled 'n butchered mah work!" and slap me a bit.
I honestly hope she becomes popular in time- not because she's my new hero, but 'cause she's a LEFTY! Like me! For once, the pictures actually made sense.... Blasted righties....
Here's the link to her magical shoe-things!!
Hippie Sandals of Doom (and Comfort!)
And here's my feet, posing with these babies.
Aww....
They're playing footsy.
Wait, gah! I don't need any more toes!!! O.o
Nighty night, I'll be making another pair. ^0^ <-- total hand spasm, my dearies.

Hat Pincushion Power!
Nima of Made To Treasure is having this awesome Crochet Hat Pincushion Pattern Giveaway- that I just had to be a part of. For some reason, I really like deadlines (given away until May 31st, made by June 15th) That got my butt into gear, so I spent some time this week making this lovely pincushion- which I desparately needed anyways. Perfect timing to find this thing, I must say.
Everyone's hat looks completely different, too!! I love that.
Mine got the "Kayla Treatment" in which I spiced it up....well, Kayla Style. And about her blog, wow, she's quite the talented multitasker.
As I scrolled through.... my eyes began to throb. And that began to scare me quite a bit, I can assure you.
There were quilts, netted ostrich eggs, embroidered strawberries, and hats.... lots and lots of hats.
Doing anything and everything. My kind of girl. Hehe.
Without futher wait-- here's my Kayla-fied hat pincushion!
(making weird words with my name never gets old)
Hehe. Multicolored yarn, whales and bells. I couldn't help myself.
I overstuffed it a bit, but in time, the stuffing will compress itself anyway, and I don't want a floppy pincushion.
[EDIT: I changed pictures, my first one looked a bit....bloated. It still does.
Here, it's not so bad- the yarn I chose just made the camera get a weird reaction. Blah.]
[EDIT: Third time's a charm.... I hope.]
Yeah, I realize mine's pretty lowclass compared to the others....
--If it was a plane, I would have the economic class.
Hurrah for lower rates and cruddy seats.--
I'm a youngin'- fourteen- that's my defense!!
(At least I have some kind of pitiful excuse)
[I'll update again when more people have finished theirs]
Some of the others I really liked were:
1.Birgitte's.
The shades of purple and white really complemented eachother. -the tie's also cute.
And the heartshaped pins..... how can you not love those?!
Brava!
2. Anne's
Yet again, simple, but has this flowing quality that makes me like it so much.
Words to descibe it: calm, breeze, soft --- the opposite of the dreaded thundering going on outside my window. Sheesh!! You can stop already. (I really, really hate storms)
3. Saritha's
I didn't care for it much at first, to be honest....
After passing it up four or five times, it began to grow on me.
I'm becoming quite fond of this one, quite frankly.
I keep on getting distracted and looking at it! Oh, man... addiction.

Pompeii Hits Tennessee
Took long enough. --.-- I had one of those HAVE TO FINISH moments, so I was up until 3:30 in the morning. That was my picture from..... 2:45.
The clock is slow.
R2: Ch 1, sc 1 in same, sc 1, [inc, sc 1] around, sl st to close round.

Put it so that the beg. and end. pieces of yarn are both facing the outside.
Before putting arms on, tie to size your doll. I then sewed it on where the two pieces connect.
The string around her body is kept in place by strategically sewing on the arms.
BEST OF LUCK TRANSLATING THIS ALL!!
(hopefully tonight I can get some clay materials at hobby lobby...
I want to do some anime stuffs with it....)
any comments, put them below (just click -# comments)
The clock is slow.
Which means....
I have another pattern for you guys.

Needles: have multiple types at your hands
Crochet hook (obviously): I used F5/3.75mm
Stuffing: that, and pellets to keep her upright

Light brown

Coconut Bra
-leave extra string when beginning and ending-
Sc 6 in a magic ring. End.
Sc 6 in a magic ring again. End.
(wait until "Putting it all together")
----------
Putting it all Together
Addressing the hair:
There's multiple ways to do this, whichever you're most comfortable with.
For a more full-headed look, I threaded a piece of yarn through each sc- framing the face to the back.
(took a while, but totally worth it)
Hula Skirt:
Thread green pieces of yarn along one row.
To make it twice as thick, I did something like (#'s represent the yarn) 1/1(5)2/2(5)3/3(6)4/4(6)
Less confusing(sorry!): thread between the sc, then between those. -you're just connecting and filling empty spaces.
To give her a less....cylindrical figure, I threaded a green piece through every 4 or so sc's, pulling it semitight.
Tightly braid 3 strings for the belt.
(in the picture, I moved the belt up to show the other features.)
Coconut Bra
Thread the yarn through the opposite side on both ends to connect the two pieces.
Put it so that the beg. and end. pieces of yarn are both facing the outside.
Before putting arms on, tie to size your doll. I then sewed it on where the two pieces connect.
The string around her body is kept in place by strategically sewing on the arms.
Sew arms to body.
Sew head to body.
And Last: The Flower:
The islandy colors comes in, here.
Do however you'd like! I did something weird!!
...
1. (more yarn = harder to make, but more petals) tie the string's end, so it's a circle.
2. Half the circle, making two smaller ones.(have them so they overlap) Do that until you have preferred size/ something you can easily work with.
3. Using black thread, tie around the middle a few times (vertically, dividing circle) - tightly
4. Repeat horizonally, so there's 4 sides. tightly.
5. (optional) To make the black stamen things-- sew-- tight on one side, 3 or so mm room on the other. Up down, up, down. Finish off. Cut them so they're separate pieces, trim, ect to liking.
BEST OF LUCK TRANSLATING THIS ALL!!

I want to do some anime stuffs with it....)

I have officially started the construction of my "Cheshire Cat Scarf". It's gonig to take FOREVER- but I think it'll be well worth it when completed. So far, I have about a 1/3 or 1/4 of the tail finished. I need to work on my proportions so he's not all..... twitchy looking?
Here's my scarf thus far:

A day's efforts left me with this--- vuala! A head of sorts!
I'll post the site when I'm finished--
the pattern's absolutely FREE!! <(O.O<)
If I ever get the time, I'd love to make a whole spectrum of these guys. Wouldn't black be adorable?? And cherry blossom pink? Ahhhh!
I said that I'd post pictures of my brothers, so here I go!!!!!!
This is Randy with his girlfriend, Samantha.
Gotta love those man-boobs. (hee hee)
He's not my favorite brother or anything. I'd never pick favorites... Yeah... Right....
*cough, I'm a horrid liar*.
Well, when I'm not trying. The other half of the time, I crack up laughing.
Voice: Epic fail.
What are you talking about?! It's not a dead givaway...
Voice: Uh, huh.... What are you talking 'bout, retard?
Voice in my head, don't make me get out the q-tips!!
*crickets*
They'll eat your soul.........
Okay, ew. Seriously.
Onto my next brother, Bryan and his wife, Lacy, of several years. I say several 'cause I'm not counting. For sure. He's okayish- and I still cried for him when I saw him. Of course. But he's 13 years older than me (compared to Randy's 11) and we were never that close. Never have been. Do the math! And honestly, I hate math. With brio. And lots of it. When I was three, he was sixteen/ seventeen.
My most fond memory of him is when one day, I woke up "late" at night, my parents out to dinner. Randy was at friend's house, or at least he wasn't home- and I was crying, terrified. I found him (Bryan) downstairs watching t.v.; he shared his puffy cheetos with me. How touching.

Moozeek Tyme!

A bit of my favorite stuff right now (and for the past few weeks) is Evanescence.
Here's a free link to their music-- Playlist Presents Evanescence!
I'm drawn to them by Amy Lee's haunting vocals, the piano's subtle chords, the whispering, the environment, the world they create--- everything!
I'm drawn to them by Amy Lee's haunting vocals, the piano's subtle chords, the whispering, the environment, the world they create--- everything!
They're 0% pop, 100% awesomeness. Their songs are very sad, though- well most of them are- and easily relatable, well, unless you're one of those obsessively happy people. In that case, this music isn't for you. One. Bit.
Another thing that makes me love them all the more are their album covers. They have life. They have death. They're not empty pictures portrying some vain teen who got dumped by their boyfriend. Or a man's John Deere tractor. These are the struggles of real people, thoughts, and feelings. These are the truth. Here's a few that I love:
Favorite songs would have to be a toughey. When I look for these, I think about replayability, vocals, background/ atmosphere, and lyrics.

Fav. song when I was 7: Bring Me To Life
My Immortal (Fallen)
Hello (Fallen)
The classic: Call Me When You're Sober
etc.
// And more to come, but I happen to be poor and haven't listened to them all, anyways.//
I appreciate all those who take their time to read my musings. Seriously. Honestly. Completely. Definitely. And anything else which might hold the same meaning. I'm too lazy to get a thesaurus.
DINOSAUR POWER!!
*Insert fancy theme song here*
Choice Numbah Uno
Number Two
Threeeeee!
Four Mah Homies
I'm done now....
And to whatever you say or will ever say:
I did NOT just get off-topic.
Okay.... Maybe just a 'lil.
Until next time, mah dearies:

Here she is, Avery-chan, creator of the channel ihasacloud. Meet her epic face and all it's epicness.
(she's kinda hard to miss.
One on the left, Jonathan face plastered on.)
Jonathan face? Yesh, the ghost-person of doom thing from Full Moon wo Sagashite- also known as just Full Moon. See the resemblance? If you don't, look again!!
My featured video of the week is her newest video (as of now):
Rapunzel from the Ghetto .

Example one: I got my long-awaited Nintendo Power magazine in the mail today- featuring..........
Here's a hint: HEARTGOLD!
The game sounds even better than before- with an included Pokewalker. You don't even have to be elderly to participate, either! Walker? You know? Hah?
Kayla's ready for the new pokemon revolution, (a remake of the old), are you?
-----------------
Attack of your:
Daily Dose of Cute
I have no clue what these are, but they sure are adorable-ish! My guess is that they're a mutation between some deformed cabbage patch kids and some eggs. What's your take on this picture? *cough, comment*
---------
Attack of:
The Girl Who Wants Stuff Out of the Kindness in Her Heart
That ^ would be me.
Remember that little site I told you about? Social Vibe? Let me explain it so that you don't automatically oppose it. Kay?
Ever heard of any of these organizations:
World Wildlife Federation, To Write Love On Her Arms, Whaleman Foundation, PETA, or Music for Relief?
These are among many of the groups you can support for free. Well, almost free. The only thing you have to give is a bit of your time. After all, time does mean money. // time = money, are we on the same page? //
So join at Socialvibe.com and add me, not forgetting to do my tasks, too. In return, I'll do yours.
I'm LunaLovely . Hang on, my friends. // I think www.socialvibe.com/Lunalovely works, too!//
If you do tasks and others do yours, then you can benifit your organization while getting some free stuff. I'm keeping my eyes on the ball. The pink ball. :3 Haha! (look at the thing, folks. you'll get it)
///// USE THIS FIRST > http://www.socialvibe.com/?r=755745 < IF BROKEN, USE OTHER METHODS//////
You do realize, though, that since this is Kayla you're talking to, I'll slowly fade out of this in time. It's nice to know that at least I've provided 36 minutes to TWLOHA. ^-^
----------------------
It's about time for me to wrap up for the day- or the hour- or the minute!
So, I'll end with: Attack of the:
Goodbyes!

Obsession With... Limbless People?!
You heard me right: Limbless people.
(The Oblongs) NOT THAT TYPE!
One thing I hate about so many ami's is repeating a pattern over and over and over again. Like with arms, legs, ears, wings, and other extremities. Two of each! Sometimes four!! What's wrong with one?!
That's why when I was working out the kinks of basic crocheting, I deleted those from my characters-- bringing you the Ugly Doll . An uglier Kayla-fied version.
I sold them to my friends and kept others for myself... A pretty sweet deal if I say so myself. I've discontinued making them, but here are two for your viewing enjoyment.


The one to the left is a ami-cature (caricature) of one of my besties, Alaina. The other is a bride- person- thing. As much as I dislike them... they were my firsties- Along with Ugly Owl, Lollipops, Ugly Garlic, A Just Plain Ugly Cat, and beyond. Ahh, memories....

Currently...
I'm working on a snail and a pipe fox.

PIPE FOX GLORY!! (these are the pieces...)Sadly, my fox is only about half way done. Half... way... About 60 rows of 120.
Here's the link in case you ever want to make it:

I'm either going to make it my stuffed animal when done or use it as a scarf. Cute either way!

The snail's from one of my favorite pattern books. It's jam-packed with the amigurumi-est ami you've ever seen. I want to make them all!!

On another note, I'm finishing up on a season of Spice and Wolf.
Wonderful anime (with subtitles, boo hoo xD)
I can't wait until the next season is released on the internet. I'm getting twitchy.
Eventually... (I'm sooo lazy) I'll make some ami of these guys.
As in: Horo, Lawrence
Moonphase: Hazuki, Kouhei
Inuyasha: Inuyasha, Koga
Sailor Moon: Serena, Luna
It would be cool, anyways.
There's snow outside which equals-- maybe no school tomorrow!!
And I can get on with my obsessions...
Always watching (heh),

Celebrating the Year O' the TIger
They each depict a separate color and animal- but I have no clue what half of them are because:
A. I'm too short to reach the fan/ ceiling.
B. I don't know exactly what they are (except the red one- it's a rooster)

C. I can't read Chinese. Mandarin. Korean. Japanese. Taiwanese. Or anything along those lines. English is hard enough. :)

Cosplay... I'm gonna do it. Some time. When I get enough money and time, I'm gonna make the
necklace from Moon phase. (out of clay most likely) It's my all time favorite item from an anime so far... that's at least possible for a noob to make)Here they are in all their glory --->
Anime con's coming to Nashville in April... So I've gotta be ready for it!
....
Something tells me I'm gonna put it off until the last minute. Well, at least I tried... to... get ahead?
I'm thinking ahead. Yes.

I'm working on getting some of my crocheting creations up before I totally forget.
And for an add
This little guy's an ORANGE CONE.
(not a carrot, sniffle)
I made it for my friend to go with a bunch of crap for her birthday. I'm having a little-- scratch that- a LOT of trouble giving him up.
The directions were very clear on the base of the cone and it resembled a tiny potholder when completed. And the top? That's a completely different story... I had trouble figuring out the pattern, so I had to make one up for that part. (if you want my directions, just ask) And the eyes are a bit large because the Hobby Lobby around here doesn't have 6 mm safety eyes. 9 mm work though, if that's all you have.
My favorite brand of yarn is: I Love This Yarn, but for this project they didn't have the color orange that I wanted, so I'm pretty sure that I used Red Heart, which I find scratchy. Anyone else agree?
And I present to you *drum roll, please!*

Mad Skillz
Currently...
I'm working on my crocheting skills.
It doesn't help when you have the attention span of a small dog and the success of a rock.
Success of a rock?
Let me explain young ones (probably sain, too. HAH. Who needs SANITY?!.. ah... hah... hah..)...
Okay. So the rock?
This little buddy's probably thinking of something along these lines:
"I'm gonna get up this freaking hill. You know I am.
Just wait. Wait for it... Wait for it...
See that? That's progress."
Me: You're imagining things again.
"Troll, I thought I told you to get out of my fantasies!"
Me: *coughs* Gay and stupid.
"What?! What'd you call meh mother?!"
Me: Two camels in a tiny car. (thanks =3)
"POOF"
Me:
Now that's over, you can hopefully see the success rate of that rock.
And get my point:
It doesn't help when you have the attention span of a small dog and the success of a rock.Yeah. Things aren't going too well... From my view at least. I'll be putting pics up, though. xD And maybr links and whatnot. Depends if anybody comments. Or views this. Please do!
Peace out,
