Muse Breaks

So, just to recap, my last blog only covered a couple of things so far.  It's pretty young.  My recent projects have mostly been about crocheting, although there are a couple of other interesting happenings.  Here we go!

Outside of the world of yarn, I recently made a hay basket for my rabbit out of spooled wire.  I didn't want to go buy one that may or may not fit on his cage, but I happened to have the wire on hand.  All I did to create it was make a frame first, gluing it together with hot glue (it works, oddly enough), then clipped pieces to connect it and make a grid across the front and sides.  The back is made of screen-door mesh (which I also had on hand), but you can make it out of anything, just thicker than the grid so a minimum amount of hay falls out of the cage.  I wish I had a picture, but I don't at the moment.

Another great pet project is hot gluing popsicle sticks together to make little playgrounds for rodents.  For more on that bit, see my pet post here.

I think the rest of my recent projects have mostly been crochet.  I made a scarf for the boyfriend using a waffle stitch, and two media cases for my family (Gir and Gameboy themes).  Rather than retype those instructions, please check out this blog post for the general idea on how to make your own.  They're very cute, I'd go give them a look!

Lastly, I'm working on a few projects now I'd love to share with you in the very near future, along with a couple I have just finished.  :)  We'll get to them in the next post, because I've got to run now!

Happy creating!
