I Made This: Baby Blanket

So I am notorious for starting to crochet things and not finishing them at all, ever. But when I found out that my friend would be having a baby I knew I had to make the little guy something, considering I can’t afford to buy him anything at the moment. I started making it in the beginning of the year, and because I’m pretty much the worst at just finishing a project I just finished it while I was in Texas visiting the new mom and kiddo. Thankfully, while I considered it to be a bit “ratchet”, my friend thinks it’s pretty adorable.

I get really bored just using the same stitch all the time so I pretty much made a big rectangle using one stitch and used different stitches all around the edges, which made it a little weird looking/shaped, but it kept me interested! I also used a couple different colors, but kept them in the boy color pallet.

I also used some ridiculously soft yarn, so when I finally gave it to the baby it didn’t scratch up his seriously adorable face or anything like that.

I Made This, my work, style

Last week I took a break from crocheting a baby blanket for my friend’s upcoming bundle of joy and decided that I wanted to make something for myself. I had been seeing a lot of tutorials online for painted glasses and decided that I would paint myself some glasses! All it took was a quick trip to Big Lots to get the cups and rummaging through my craft supplies to find my glass paint and I was ready!

What I couldn’t find were any of my good paint brushes, so I used Q-Tips. Hence the cups look a little like they were made by children. But I like that aesthetic.

I put on two coats of each color to ensure that there would be optimal opacity, then let the cups dry for a couple days. According to the directions on the paint they are supposed to dry for 21 days or you can bake them after drying for 48 hours.
cupt3After a few days I followed the directions and put them in the cool oven, heated it to 325 and baked for 30 minutes. Then you have to let them cool in the oven, so that the glass doesn’t break from extreme heat changes.

And behold! I now will never lack for super fancy cups to drink out of! I do recommend hand washing, so that there is no risk of the paint coming off. I also recommend playing around with different patterns and stencils and what have you, though I played it safe and did something imperfectly perfect for my taste.
It’s a surprisingly easy project that you can do for yourself, or as a gift. I’m considering who I’m going to want to make some pretty personalized cups for in the future…

The Vicious Kind

My love for you has grown teeth.
You are not afraid,
your teeth have nipped strangers who came too close.
Your teeth are bared when:
you smile
you speak
you sneer.

My teeth
(that my love for you has grown)
stay hidden.
But when you:
are mean
turn away
leave me

you will feel them
grazing your skin
tearing your shirt
leaving as many scars as
you’ve left on me.

Who, me?


I consider myself an eccentric who looks good in jeans, or an amateur at adulthood. I live in Maine, enjoy writing and photography as creative outlets, and listen to some of the worst music you've ever heard. I’m good at sin and bad at following Christ, but I’m still letting Him take the lead. Dirty is my middle name. So is Sean.
The purpose of this blog is to keep a record while I'm unearthing treasures, mapping truths, and navigating life.
