The mission has begun! Melissa Santa Maria, Zoe (my daughter), and I (Gayle Warfield) have taken on a mission to do 100 days of crafting! The premise is pretty simple: we love crafting... we want to do all the crafts... the end.
Ok, so that isn't the end. Actually this is inspired by https://giveit100.com , where the idea is to practice something for 100 days and record the amazing results as you accomplish them! Being 2 Graphic Designers/ Crafters/ Artists/ Overall-Creative-Persons, it was only natural for us to want 100 crafted creations to call our own! 100 products of our craftiness! 100 Craft babies!! *ahem* Ok... I've gone too far.
The photos here are CRAFT DAY 1. We worked form this pattern HERE to create a Wolf Hooded Scarf which I intend to use for my daughter Zoe's "Red Riding Hood" photoshoot that I'm setting up in a few weeks (ill post photos from that later.
We went to Joann's Fabric store and, guided by Melissa's fabric expertise, I picked this fun mix of pattern and color. Melissa doesn't claim to be a seamstress but she is SUPER TALENTED on the sewing machine (obviously I am impressed) so she did all of the sewing while I assisted with cutting, pinning, ironing and general vision direction. Other than that, basically I brought snacks and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?" a lot. Haha! We ended up editing the ear size/shape some from the pattern to make it look more "wolf-y" but other than that the pattern was awesome!
Zoe is in the pics modeling the results :)
The plan for Day 2 of crafting is to create the Red Riding Hood cape!
