About
After a break, I'm back. I didn't want to delete what I have previously written, so I'll leave that below.
My name is Nikki, I'm 24, married and I live in England.
I like to crochet. I can also knit and sew, but crochet is my current favourite.
I'm hoping to add my latest projects to here, once I've taken photos of them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
There is just so much I like I'll never be able to list it all.
I'm just starting out making things and I want to learn to knit, crochet and make lots of different toys and clothes and bags and everything!
I'm 21, love animals, studying a degree in Animal Behaviour & Welfare. No idea what I want to do when I finish uni.
I enjoy making things, I just sometimes have trouble finding material that is affordable, if anyone knows of anywhere that ships cheaply to England, or any good shops please let me know!
I can make/do: bracelets, plushies (with a design), bags, cushions, basic things, sew(hand), glue.
I can't: knit, crochet, design patterns

My favourite colours are red, purple and black.
I like furry things, cuddly toys and items that can be used more then once.
My favourite animals are guinea pigs and dogs.
I also like monsters, zombies and robots. And Dragons
Stuff that glows in the dark is always fun

Thanks!
Permanent marker shouldn't rub off, and the heating should set most ink, but now and again I feel the ink does lift.
Stamping with a Stazon inkpad stays put, as do sharpie markers.
Whether the side you are applying the ink has been keyed or not can also have a bearing on its staying power.

aaaw thank you for the sweet comment on my toilet paper beads project.
it's funny to think it's just toilet paper.LOL
it was good to made them and i have found during the making some new tricks.
the salt was from an other , read it in a discription and thought salt?
when i read one i thought yeaah of course sooo smart,
and the hairdrier trick was just an accidently founding.LOL
like that.
hey hope it 's helpfull this tute and wish you fun with the making of, in reall they beads are much prettier -S always a problem with making picts.
don't know how to make them better, but this will do as well.LOL
hey have a nice good crafting weekend , lots of hugs and kisses.<3
thanks for the fave on my 'i <3 music'-ipod shell!
I think you must make up your mind do you want to be local selling or just world wite, then you can think of twitter, pinterestr and facebook as well.
local you can ask if your work can be sold in a shop, and ask for exhibition spaces in librairies , city halls and... hospitals, make a lot of pretty eyed bunis cards so people can't find you later on.
but ... i think tell your parents that you want to make a living of it, they must exept your need of space.
you can look out for some work free spaces in your envirement . old buildings that stands empty and so on.
If you know people like t hat in your neighbourhood that doing sort of things you like ask them for help to learn more people to help you to be well know.;-D
Hope this is a little bit helpful for you.
i don't like facebook and pinterest because it took a lot of energy and it kost a lot of time to be socialize , so i don't use them often.
With ravelry as well, it's the same.
i like to surfe on the internet but... the dangour of stucked too long and sucked all your time with out doing your things is for me is a big problem so i try to choice .
okay this iwere my thoughts.LOL
hey hope it's a little bit helping and wish you all the good and stay a happy crafting girl;XD
xxxx
and yeaaaah we're just friends.LOL
about your story, it makes me sad.
Can you ask for a tiny place in your own room for crafting?
so that you can lay behind the materials you are working with?
Because always cleaning up isn't working , and helping you.
And jewerly and all the other things is super cool but it's much smarter to choice the things you're the best skills for , or for later,
i like your plushies. they are funny.
i must think of other ways to sell, i will let you know, sometimes ... etsy isn't working for everbody. but... it's a way.
i will write you later my ideas.
hey have a good nice crafty day, greetings and hugs, and till later;XD xxx
I do still make dreads
If your interested please email me on Beccar_Sixx@hotmail.co.uk or look on www.cherrybombdreads.webs.com
thanks
I made one to use for experimentation, for example making some parts narrower with a few stitches for a more shapely neck... thought you might be interested
x Laura

allthough you have found some allready.Awesome like that.;-D
hey thank you very much of your faves on my heating mitten pillows , and the heating scarf pillow.
i stil using them all, , but i think i must make some more, for my cats as well , perhaps some other measurings for my head and other body parts.LOL
hey much fun with the making of and wish you much profite of it as well.
did you know you can use them ass well for cold packages.
Wrap them in plastic bag in the freezer and after an hour you can you them for cooling down..
but wrap an extra handtowel all around it,!!!!
hey have a great crafty crea funny weekend;-D
