It is that time of year where I need to pay Photobucket (the site that hosts my pictures), but they changed their packages again and I can no longer afford to pay for the package that includes unlimited bandwidth. This means my account is going to be downgraded to a free account. After a certain amount of time the pictures will not work. After I am done moving and get settled in, I will try and find a solution to this problem. Until then you should be able to find pics on Raverly. I have most of my stuff on there. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I just have so much to do right now, I can't fix this problem right away.AprilDravenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14379566798825993921noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261882295288296208.post-8434121594860173882015-10-05T14:53:00.004-04:002015-10-05T14:53:28.422-04:00Little Fox Crochet PatternI made this little crochet stuffed fox for my daughter. When I was really young I remember watching a cartoon about a prince that visited other planets. Years later I found out that was The Little Prince, and that it was based off a book. I instantly fell in love with the story. The Fox was my favorite character. I wanted to share that with my daughter, but she has a really short attention span involving books. I decided to make this little fox while she was at school. I hid it, and then told her there was a surprise for her if she could get through the story. I read the story to her, and when I finished the Fox part, I got up and brought the fox to her. I told her that he wasn't tamed, and that she needed to tame him. So, now this little fox has his own bed next to hers, and she has been carrying him around everywhere. Hopefully, she will remember this when she is older :)<br />

The Pattern is available for $5.50 in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilDraven">Etsy Shop</a> if you are interested.<br />

Not everyone knows about Firefly/Serenity. Crazy, I know right! Since the original hat is Knit I had some playing around to do. I think I did a pretty good Fake Knit job ;) What do you think?<br />

So, of course I needed to make a Dreadband. The cool part is, it works for a regular headband too. Bonus! I haven't had the time to put dreads in yet, but I will post pics when I do. Expect more Headband/Dreadband patterns in the future. If you are interested in this pattern it is available for $3.00 in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilDraven">Etsy Shop</a>.<br />
<br />
News: I opened a new shop where I am going to sell physical items and not patterns. It is pretty much just a place for me to sell stuff I make from time to time, crochet related or not. If you are interested, <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/GoldenFaunCreations">check it out here</a> :) It is still new so, I don't have a lot in it yet. I will keep adding stuff though.<br />
<br />
Side note: I will have 2 new FREE patterns soon. I am just waiting for my pattern testers to finish them, so keep checking back.<br />

I searched and searched the internet, trying to find something cheap. We have a very limited budget, and I didn't want to have to invest a ton of money into a party. Here is what I decided.<br />
<br />
For activities I went to <a href="http://pixelpapercraft.com/tags/official/character">this site</a> and printed off a few Minecraft characters. I used the mini ones because they seemed easier to assemble. I let the kids cut them out. I had paste and tape. Almost everyone used tape.<br />
<br />
I found <a href="http://www.frugalfamilytimes.com/2013/08/minecraft-birthday-party-printables.html">this site</a> and printed off the "sticker" pages. I didn't make stickers though. I let the kids paste them to a piece of paper. I gave them crayons and let them draw/color their own minecraft scenes. That took care of the activities.<br />
<br />
Next, I had to make party favors. I made some rice krispies treats that looked like minecraft blocks. Chocolate for the bottom and regular colored green for the top.<br />
<br />
Then, I designed a label to put on a ziplock bag. I filled bags with Jolly ranchers and gold nuggets. I was inspired by <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/pin/76772368624257230/">this</a>, but I was lazy and decided to throw them all into one bag. I then looked at a bunch of bottle wrapper pictures, and decided to design my own. I filled water bottles with blue and red Koolaid. (Printables at the end)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/AprilDraven/AprilDraven%20Designs/100_8126_zpsyel6zz39.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/AprilDraven/AprilDraven%20Designs/100_8126_zpsyel6zz39.jpg" height="345" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/AprilDraven/AprilDraven%20Designs/100_8128_zpsuos7g5ma.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/AprilDraven/AprilDraven%20Designs/100_8128_zpsuos7g5ma.jpg" height="344" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I found the large paper creeper in the pic <a href="http://www.fps-x-games.com/2013/04/large-minecraft-creeper-free-papercraft.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I wanted a little bit more decoration at the party so I designed some labels for 1 gallon Absopure water containers and a 7up container.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/AprilDraven/AprilDraven%20Designs/100_8135_zpsfglymvnj.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c128/AprilDraven/AprilDraven%20Designs/100_8135_zpsfglymvnj.jpg" height="562" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then we just bought green plates, black table covers, green cups and silverware, and black and green balloons at the dollar store. (creeper colors)<br />
<br />
Party done. Most of it was printed out. Why spend a bunch of money buying things that you can make? I spent quite a bit of time making these labels for them to only be used for one day, so I wanted to share these. I hope this helps if you are thinking of making a Minecraft party.<br />

I wanted to make him something warm, and not so outrageous. *<i>I crochet a lot of fairy hats, not exactly something a guy would want to wear all the time ;)</i>* I had a friend point out that it kinda looks like a Minecraft creeper. That was unintentional, but a welcome bonus. My daughter and husband both play that game, so maybe it was in my subconscious. LOL<div>

She picked out all of the colors. She wanted to be her very own pony. I love that it makes her so happy :)<br />

I have the instant download pdf pattern available in my <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilDraven">Etsy Shop</a> for $3 if anyone is interested :)<br />

It ended up being a bit heavier than planned so that is why I put Winter in the title. It is super cozy. I can't wait to wear it this winter ;) I have the pattern available for $3.00 Instant Download in <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AprilDraven">my Etsy shop</a> if anyone is interested. Thanks for looking :)<br />
<br />
<b>NEWS:</b> My shop now accepts Gift Cards and Credit Cards. That should make things a lot more convenient. I'm sorry it took so long for me to make the change. I get a little freaked out when a site wants my bank account number. It turned out alright though.<br />

<br />
This sign was inspired by Sherrilyn Kenyon (My favorite author). <br />
Here is the pattern, you can use it for crocheting too ;) This is for personal use only. I have it separated into 29x29 square sections so you know how many large pegboards to use if you are using Perler Beads. I think it makes it easier to do this way, that is just my opinion.<br />

<br />
Here is what it looks like on the wall. I put it above the door to my closet/indoor garden. It is kind of like a sanctuary. <br />

Again I couldn't find the original creator. If that was you, please give me a link so I can credit you for the pattern and thanks, it is awesome!<br />

I have it blocked by 29x29 peg boards (aka. 6 inch square board) in case you were wondering what the big squares were for.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Please don't ask how many beads it took, I didn't count. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I bought 2-1000 bead bags of Yellow, 2-1000 bead bags of Orange, and 1-1000 bead bag of silver. I just used the black I already had. I didn't run out.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I get my supplies from <a href="http://www.koolstuff4kids.com/Shop-by-Product_c_99.html">here</a>. It is a great store. I needed 13 boards, but I already had them. Parchment paper works really well so you don't have to buy their "special paper". You might want to get some 2 large pieces of cardboard to help with flipping the project. Also look up "taping perler beads" That helps a lot with large projects. Good Luck! Have fun :D</div>
<br />
<br />
(For those of you who don't know, Acheron Parthenopaeus is a character from <a href="http://www.sherrilynkenyon.com/">Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark-Hunter book series</a>. I love those books so much. It is a very Adult book series, you have been warned)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Crafty friends:</b></span> You can use this pattern for crochet, knitting, and cross stitch too. In fact if you search for "perler bead" projects you can find a lot of patterns. For every bead just make a stitch instead. If you aren't computer savvy, you can get graph paper and color in where the beads are. Just an idea. When my finger heals enough to make videos again I will be posting on how to switch colors and read a chart. Until then, here is <a href="http://aprildraven.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-switch-colors-and-use-chart.html">a tutorial</a> I made a while ago that might help.<br />
<br />
Let me know if you make anything with this pattern. I would really enjoy seeing your pics :)AprilDravenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14379566798825993921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261882295288296208.post-1361195161175840172014-03-20T17:18:00.001-04:002014-03-20T17:18:53.869-04:00NecklacesThese three are my own personal designs. If anyone is interested send me a message through my <a href="http://aprildraven.etsy.com/">Etsy Store</a>. Each necklace takes about 2 days to make. I will only be selling them to US customers because shipping is so expensive. They are $15 plus $5.00 shipping. I also take orders. If you would like your own picture made into a necklace, contact me, and we might be able to work something out :)<br />
