Lunch hour crafting - old school granny plastic canvas tissue box cover

In progress. For my desk at work. So tacky it's going to be awesome.

Lunch Hour Crafting: Right now it kinda looks like a butt...

But it is actually going to be this really cute cowboy hat for my girl...promise.

Lunch Hour Crafting - Crochet Rose

I think this will look perfect atop a new fall hat for my girl in lieu of a pom pom. Now I guess I'll be making a hat too... :)

Rose pattern found here.

Lunch Hour Crafting: A is for Andie

It's been years and years since I've attempted cross stitch. Is it just me, or did those little squares and holes get even tinier since then? Because I refuse to admit that's it's my eyesight getting worse with age. Nope. Can't be.

Anyway, I decided on something simple and small to get my bearings. Not sure what I'll turn it into, but it sure was fun to make all those little XXXXX again.

Lunch Hour Crafting: Friendship Bracelets

I'm pretty sure I spent the better part of my pre-teen years with one or more of these bracelets-in-progress safety pinned to my jeans. I never learned to make a heart, though, until today.

Found a lovely tutorial on La Manufacture via Pinterest.

Lunch Hour Crafting - granny sweater progress

I saw this granny square sweater pattern on Pinterest the other day and decided little Andie needed one. It's the perfect, portable lunch hour craft. Just a couple of days of work, and it's almost finished! I only need to join the front and back together. Just in time too - fall has officially arrived!
