summer project list explosion + tutorial links~

Oh my. I have been mia on here for ages. The masquerade ball was dramatic. Anime Expo destroyed the last bit of energy and patience and just brain power I had left. I swear that I'm still trying to solidify my mashed potato brain. Fffffff. I'm just wiped out.

Sooooo, I decided to round up all of the projects I'm lusting and gushing over getting my grubby little fingers to work on, on here. I figured this would be an easier way to keep track than to keep wandering through folders of files of madness of messiness of always being distracted and then never getting to work on that shit. HA. Okay, onto links and images and madness.

CLOTHING~
And I just splurged with my profits from Anime Expo and purchased a snazzy new Brother CP7500 sewing machine that has lots of spiffy and fancy things. I am fucking pumped. I'm all about fishtail skirts, open knit sweaters, and sheers. And I need at least one galaxy item in my closet.

crochet bikini -  I haven't settled on a pattern yet. But I MUUUUUST make one.

 

JEWELRY~
Lots of links to full DIY tutorials. *flails hands* guuuuuh I so want to work on lots of these but don't have the supplies right this moment.
hex nut bracelet - I prefer this one, but the one below is lovely too.
wrap bracelet - seriously, once you read a couple of these diys, you'll never want to go drop the ridiculous price tag amount this shit has in stores. sooooo easy and cheap to make these lovelies at home.
perfect summer necklace - I plan on doing a bracelet variation. 
woven chain necklace - I want to do a bracelet variation of this one too.
beaded leather bracelet
tiny terrarium necklace -  I have a shit ton of bottles left over from an Anime Expo project. Ffff.
inverted cross ring -  I NEED me a cross ring dammit!
resin casting bangle mold - I have several resin jewely projects in mind. Soooo excited to get them figured out and started. Two inspiration photos are below.

RANDOM CRAP~
little black parasol -  I may crochet my own panels instead.
faulig - ooak doll. I am very VERY determined to do some sculpting this summer.
custom crochet kindle cover with chart (secret gift)
custom kitchen jars (another gift)
loooooots of lights. I seriously don't have the brain power to link all of them. I will do a separate entry soon for them.
lots and lots of resin experiments. Ffffffffffff But I'm keeping them secret until they are done.


And I'm sure there are a shit ton more things that I can't remember right now. I'm also sure everyone has noticed that I must be on cut out and keep a shit ton. I also love to wander over to design sponge. Lovely tutorials and massive amounts of inspiration.

Happy DIYtastic summer! I'd love to hear about anyone's adventures, even if I don't know who you are. I love sharing crafty times with people. <3
