Make Guppy a play pen!

Guppy and his/her brothers and sisters just had something very exciting happen to them! They are now old enough that Ane and Alexa and roommates had to split them up by sex! Which means......... GUPPY COMES HOME SOON and I can't even wait.

Because I'm so excited (more excited than even the new helmet attachment I'm working on which is going to be baller once parts get here from ebay and Mcmaster-carr) I decided to work more on a circle Guppy can just run and run and run in! The entry-way will get connected to the rest of the cage somehow and badabing!

Construction time: 20 minutes
Construction cost: The tube= $.74 (I know right? I should have bought more....)

Make a necklace to hold this Lovely cross!

One day, my dad came home from some far off land (Peru, Brussels, I don't exactly remember) He brought me this cross on a simple string. I Loved it and made the rest of this around it!

Possibly hard to see because it's dark but it's rainbow hemp in a square pattern Lovely! Dove on the back:

Construction time: 15 mins
Construction cost: 1/25th of a roll of $3.00 hemp

Make Palm Sunday Palms into Crosses

I went home this weekend to find things I made for the blog! I saw all of these. And they make me smile so maybe they'll make you happy too. (Because who doesn't get happy thinking about the life of Jesus?)

They're much dried out by now, these are all from years past. The most recent is below. (I went for the Peace of Christ look)

And yes, it is held up by a Fabio Cannavaro action figure on the top of my desk.

Make a Rosary - Sanibel Style

Well when we went to Sanibel Island, I picked up too many shells because I Love to! I ended up combo-ing shells with beads I had gotten for a different project a few years ago to make this rosary while we were camping before the semester! (Most bugs I've ever experienced.)

Shells were drilled by hand. Strung on fishing line. Bulky and I like it!

Construction time: 20 minutes
Construction cost: $1.50

Make a home for Guppy!

I've been working for a bit on making a Hamster house for our new roommate......

GUPPY! The house is next door at Ane's while they do the weening from Mama Snugz and they split them up. Most are returning to the pet store but not Gupz!!

When this happens. Pictures will be uploaded!
