Happy Birthday Kelsey!

So... I'm a little late on this one.

Granted, I had it stiched up and ready to go on the 10th (which was Kelsey's birthday), but alas, it did not hit the urban land scape until today.

I asked her (being very poor) if there was something I could do for her for her birthday, since she is my roomate and all and it's not nice to ignore people's birthdays. She asked if I would do a tag for her.

I was eager, nay excited and this prospect.

So I got to work, whipped out this lovely baby blanket esq background and then threw Kelsey's name on it!

Tada!

I hope she really likes it. You can kind of see it from our bedrooms in the house, as it is in the park across the street. She's at work right now, so she'll see it when she comes home.

So yeah, Happy Birthday Kelsey!

Enjoy!

Super Tree

Don't mind me.
I may be slightly intoxicated while writing this. That's ok. I was mostly intoxicated while finishing up this tag today anyways.
Today, my two friends and I went and hung out in the park to celebrate the fact that I had my final today. Whoo! No more biology... for now anyways.

While we were hanging out, I finished up my tag, found a perfect tree and placed said tag.

As soon as it was up, both my friends were like "super tree".

I too thought it was fitting.
They asked me why I decided to put it on that particular tree in that particular location. I said it was the best tree around that fit. The others were either too big or too small. My one friend said that it was serendipitous. I like that it can be seen from the various paths, yet is hidden in the trees to a large extent.

Sorry for the lack of posts as of late. It has been a busy month.
This monday is my birthday, so I don't know when the next time I will tag is.
But at least I have a couple new pieces finished to put up.
... I just have to put them out in the world...

Enjoy!

Lovely June

Ok, I apoligize.
I have been crocheting again, but I have been sooo busy. Spring semester is a lot of my time, as well as being employed. If only I lived in one of those nomadic egalitarian societies that would let me just sit around and crochet and Yarnbomb to my hearts content.
-sigh-
Needless to say, that is not the case.
So stay tuned yarn fans.
I shall hopefully have something more important up soon.
In the meantime, so to etsy and check out the bearded beany. I don't know why, but I find this vastly entertaining. I think I may have to get one.
Enjoy!

P.s. I have also noticed that a couple of the longer term tags I have had up (like the TD bank bike rack one) have finally come down. All the more reason to whip up some more and get them out there, am I right?

Day out with friends

Hi!

This is Dave. Dave really approves of my yarn bombing. I should tell him that I'll teach him crochet and he can do it with me.


This Victoria day (yesterday) I decided to get some sunshine and hang out in some local parks with my friends. Now an oppurtunity like this for tagging cannot be passed up, so I threw some tags in my bag and away we went.




Before me and my other buddy met up with Dave, I decided to try my hand at those fence hearts some taggers have done.

For my first try, I like to think I did pretty good. More of them all over would have been cool, but of course my friends showed up right as I was doing it, so some of the mystery was lost.

Then we all went for an epic walk. We crashed on this bench and watched all the dogs go by. As we rested, I threw on this little tag that I made while waiting on my gf to get out of the book fair last week.

I like it. It's brightly colored. I was just goofing off with trying different patterns of color.
Next stop, different patterns of pattern!
Enjoy!

Gazebo Revisited

When the tag covering the metal empty power box at the Gazebo went away, a lot of my friends were sad. We all liked it's bright colors and I think Dave was really glad to help me put it up.
Well, I was determined to replace it, but perhaps with something more sturdy and something that while beautiful, would blend in like the one that is still on the lamp post down by the Gazebo.
Then I saw this helpful video posted on Where the Woolly Things Are about making flowers. I decided that it would be perfect for a tag in the garden to have flowers on it (you can't really see all the flowers and flowering plants surrounding the Gazebo, but they're there!)

Tada!
I think it looks really pretty! And blends in really well!

Here's a close up look at the flowers. I think the camera made the yarn look a lot bluer than it really was. It is really kinda bluey green, but not that blue.

Here's how I left it at the Gazebo. I hope this one stays there a good long while.
Enjoy!

A gift for a friend

So, I have these two good friends. They helped me out when things really sucked for me, when I didn't have a place to live.

Anyways, I decided that I would do something nice for them. See, they bought a new house and now it is looking pretty fab, because they have spent the last 6 months fixing it up. One of my friends showed me her garden out front, which included a little gnome and his acompanying toadstool. I was inspired to add to her little garden.

Tada! I saw someone do rocks for a beach and got inspired to do my own rocks. Once I did them though, I wasn't sure what to do with them.          

I think they make a perfect addiction here though. I didn't tell my friend that I tagged her garden though. I am just waiting to see if she see's they and realizes it was me or not.

You can see the gnome in this one... not really the toadstool, but the gnome. And the birdbath.

My friends garden is really quite pretty.

I can't wait to make more of these rocks. Perhaps I should do a series of them where I leave knitted (ok, crocheted) rocks in random places. That sounds like fun.

Enjoy!

re up

I do have a new tag post that I will put up shortly. I am trying to sort out some internet stuff on the side.
In the mean time though, I have this for you!

Yes yes, you have seen this one before.

Funny story.

So obviously, I put this one up at least a month back. And I never went back to check on it. My gf said it wasn't there anymore when she went by a while afterwards.

So I was wandering around over there the other day, noticed it wasn't there, but that's when I noticed it was on the ground. Someone had just cut what was attaching it to the pole, but not the actual tag itself.

Of course, I grabbed it and simply reattached it. It was a little dirty from being in the leaves and bramble and such, but it still looks great. I dusted it off a bit before reattaching it.

Hopefully it stays up there a bit longer, but I am sure I can play this game with whoever as long as they want to play.

Enjoy! I'm off to the book fair!
