Knit and Crochet Blog Week Day 5

Day Five:  Something A Bit Different
It’s the annual challenge to blog in a way different from how you normally blog. You may choose to create a podcast, or vlog, create a wordless post or write in verse. You've already stretched your wings with an infographic, now it's time to freestyle. You can post on any topic you like, but be sure to post in a style different from your usual blog presentation. There's not too much guidance for this one simply because the more varied the posts are on this day, the wider the sources of information for other bloggers will be. Bonus points if you manage to work your house animal in somehow.

Okay, since I'm writing these in advance I just finished looking at a whole bunch of Day 2 posts.  Many people used mood boards to plan/pick/design projects for the Mascot prompt.  I have been inspired by you people!  So today I bring you photo collages.  I found this free site on the webz.  Its pretty awesome, it does photo editing and you can pull pictures from pretty much everywhere:  Fotor.  Its going in my favorites tab.  I wont do too much intro for each of these collages since I was trying to convey a concept in each group.

Great FO picture:

 
Since blue is my favorite color, I did a blue board:


No bonus points for me I guess.  (Maybe I should change my house to Bunny-piller.)  I just looked back through my notes for this prompt, I had some interesting ideas.  I wish I would have had some more time.  Two ideas that would have been fun were a food blog and a destination blog.  I'm not sure what I would have cooked/baked, but I would have detailed the recipe and all the steps.  (Maybe I'll do this at some point, I did just do that chicken dish over the weekend...)  For the destination blog I would have detailed a couple places to visit here in the city.  It would, obviously, include some yarn shops and a place or two to eat.  (Again, I may still do that at some point.)  There are a couple iconic places that are only open in the summer, I should do that.  That's going on my to do list! 
Happy Crafting!

  1. Lovely collages, I will definitely be checking out fotor! I use Picasa, Pixlr or Picmonkey as well.

    1. I was quite impressed with the options that fotor had. I used Picassa on my old computer, but haven't gotten around to downloading it on my new computer yet. Fotor worked really great for what I needed it for. I'll be using it to edit my own pics now.

  2. Love your collages, especially the first one. xx

    1. Yarn dying is my latest crafty kick. I pulled all those pictures from Pinterest. I believe they are all Kool Aid techniques except for the blue one with numbers, that one is from a bean technique. I want to try all the Kool Aid ones this summer. Two of them use solar heat to set the dye.

YOP: Week 30

      I didn't have a very eventful crafting week.  My time was limited and I think the weather is affecting my knitting mojo.  I had to work last weekend so my husband picked up the items from the fair along with the help of our daughter.  It looks as though she was supposed to get a first place ribbon for her earrings but they forgot to attach the ribbon, or it was attached and fell off.  I'll get an official notification in the mail with our winnings in a few weeks.       My garden was looking really good, the peppers and carrots had almost completely regrown.  I made the comment to myself Saturday evening when I was watering everything that "oh wow its all looking really good."  My parents came over for lunch Sunday so I took my mom over to see the garden.  We've been busy so they haven't been over since we put in the raised beds.  Well, the joke was on me.  The deer or whatever it is came back and decim...

YOP: Week 29

    The fair was a success.  My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well.  We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over.  We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed.  Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay.  They did not place.  She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings.  A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm.  The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second.   The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done.  There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition.  I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second.  Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

YOP: Week 35

    Not much to report this week.  I didn't do much crafting.  I finished the swap, got it packaged up and mailed out.  It should have arrived to my recipient yesterday.  I'll share what I made.  The theme was Favorite Things.  She likes the colors pale yellow and deep dark red and dragons, so I went all out with the dragons.  I chose  Dragon Scale Mitts  for the handmade item.  I used Madeline Tosh Sport in the Tart colorway.   My camera doesn't really do this colorway justice.  It has more depth in real life.  I think they came out nicely though. I was able to find dragon fabric at The Quilt Shop.  I made a reversible project bag. I paired each dragon fabric with one of her favorite colors.  Liara really liked the dragon fabric as well.  I'm probably going to get some more when I go again.  I also sent some stationary items and a bunch of Swedish Fish, which were also things she had req...
