Skull Filet on Book

-

Yesterday I went on Google image search to find a cross stitch pattern that I could modify for a filet crocheted skull. While working on it in four different places (oh wait - only three - work, couch, bed) I came up with this. Perhaps it would be better to not cart it all around creation. I ended up decreasing accidentally and having to make up for it weirdly. Dunno, maybe that's all part of the charm.

It's 9:15am and I have to leave for work in fifteen minutes. Guess who's not ready?!!! Off I go for my last week at the Rathbun branch. As of next Tuesday, I'll be at the Northeast library - only a mile from my house! It's a lovely place with great memories, but it is hard to leave a place like the Bun that I love so much... I'm so glad that Heaven is real and I'll get to be with all my friends there. Or in Hell, if we all go there. :)

You will only see me in heaven. :) No more Rathbun?! Shoot!!! Maybe I'll have to switch my library loyalties off to the East! :)

Hm, I like the skull. Maybe the "mistakes" are what help give it an eerie look?

Good luck at your new branch. (Great commute!) They are lucky to have you.

Northeast! Yaaaay! What days, times? The accidental decreasing is what I don't like about crochet. I need a filet butterfly pattern to use in a lampshade. Skulls seem a bit gruesome for my bedroom :)

How to Make Folded Books - by Heather Hajek Eddy

Hello friends - years ago I created a tutorial on how to make your own folded books and sold it in my (now defunct) Etsy shop. It was a blessing in my family's and my life for several years as it kept us afloat financially during some pretty lean years. At the end of 2016, I stopped selling on Etsy for several reasons, but mostly because selling things gave me HUGE anxiety. So, I closed up that part of my life & thought everyone was finding other cool ways to fold books online & wouldn't care about my little booklet. I have been pleasantly surprised to find many people are still interested and emails pop up in my box every so often asking if I'll ever sell it again. (Apparently, once you're on Etsy, you are FOREVER on Etsy and people can find you forever, too.) In the spirit of paying it forward to the world, I'm making the tutorial FREELY available here on my blog . Scroll below to see the tutorial in its entirety, all for free. Eventually I'l

This is one of my most popular tutorials because it has a huge payoff for such a little bit of work (well...). I think it's quite a showstopper! This was a free pattern I put on the blog a million years ago, but it's nice to have it here with the other pattern/tutorial.
