I did a lot of creative things this weekend! I stayed inside with my sister and the kitties and tried out some new projects, just kinda seeing what's possible with the materials that I have right now rather than going out and purchasing anything new. This tied very well into the next challenge, number 43: Learn something new. Ask a friend to help you do something using a technique or skill they're good at.
I didn't so do much of the "ask a friend" part, but here are a couple new things I made:

A hair band that combines a felt piece with crocheted ties.
A scarf! I've made plenty of hats before, but scarves are new to me.
For both of these items, I applied skill that I already have to come up with something new - with a few trials and errors, but mostly careful planning. I plan on making more hair bands and scarves and selling them at the next craft fair I'm doing with some pals on October 1st.
Exciting news: my fabulous fiance bought me a membership to a local pottery studio! I have a full month to make clay works again, starting on Tuesday. I can't wait to get my hands dirty! It is my dream to have a pottery studio of my own someday. I haven't worked with clay in over 4 years, so I cannot wait to get back into the swing of things.
