Crochet Cactus

         I made this cute little cactus last night. It didn't go exactly as I planned, but i think it came out ok overall. I just made a basic bulb shape and then pushed in 4 places and sewed it into shape. I made a pom pom from pink and yellow using a pompom maker and then just tied that to the top. I sewed the cactus to the brown felt and then stuffed the felt and placed it in the pot. I then added stitches to each of the four outer edges, which I think adds a prickly look to it.

College Field Trip to Make Pottery

My school is really cool because of the fact it has very frequent and neat field trips. One of these neat trips was to go to a pottery studio and actually get to make our own pottery! =) It was so cool and a great deal, it cost $5  and you got to make a plate and a pinch bowl. You also got to try on a pottery wheel, but didn't keep that.


This is the plate I made it's kinda rough, but I'm proud of it anyway. =) It's good for cookie and dry things like that, but not stick stuff because I feel like it would get stuck in the crevices.







This is my little pinch pot. I think I'm gonna put a little plant in it. I braided the clay in the back and made a swirl from clay in the front. I also put a little heart on the front.
