I henna'd my hair for the first time in years! First time using cassia and indigo too. I doubt I'll bother with indigo in the future since it's more finicky and I like easy but it was fun to experiment. I used 100g henna, 75g cassia, and 25g indigo, all from Mehandi/Ancient Sunrise:

Ancient Sunrise Rarity Henna

Clarity Cassia

Ancient Sunrise Sudina Indigo

I first did the rain wash treatment because I have hard water. Then mixed the henna and cassia the day before with amla and room temperature distilled water. Then added the indigo the next day right before applying. I left it in my hair about four hours.

My stupid reusable gloves gave out on me as I put them on but I'd already added the indigo so the clock was ticking. I dealt with disintegrating gloves as I applied which led to the interesting root coverage in the second to last pic 😅 Ah well, I'll get it better in the future with new gloves.

The last picture is my gray/silver hair before. It's so much lighter on top so that's where it's more vibrant and it's fairly subtle underneath. My main goal was the softness and frizz control of henna so the exact color wasn't super important. I always did all henna with lemon juice in the past but thought I'd experiment with a mix this time. I'm digging it! My husband commented on how much softer it was and less like a frizzy cloud 🤣

I made a new wearable pumpkin dragon! I used this really pretty orange/green blend yarn to look like the pumpkins in the last picture. I really love how it turned out!

This is what happens when you feed your goblin pumpkin spice lattes after midnight 🤷

Some goblins are born of the forest, some of the mountains. Some come from a kingdom of candy, while others might pop right out of your vegetable garden. This guy's natural habitat on the other hand is... The mall. His name is Sponce because he can't spell very well and "Spencer's" is a long word. He's covered in as much cheap jewelry as he's managed to nab while the Claire's employees backs were turned and even grabbed some black nail polish from Hot Topic.

(I made the arms and legs extra long and added an extra set of horns!)

I want to make a little crochet dog for a friend who lost her real doggy buddy 🙁 He was black but had the grey face of and old man (they adopted him as a senior so he was partially grey their whole time with him). How do you think I should go about peppering in those white/grey hair on the face? I'm going to do a cute, cartoony dog (probably the Natura Crochet pattern in the last picture) so nothing super detailed. I'd like a simple way to suggest the grey face, not a lot of color work.

I'd love any suggestions!

Last year I made pumpkin wings for my wearable pet dragon! I've got a new one in the works right now but still love this first one I made 🎃🥰

This fella has his pants hiked all the way up his crack and he isn't mad about it! After painting his nails and fluffing his hair, he's ready for a night out at the Bog of Eternal Stench 🤢 He might eat a few rocks along the way 🪨

I made myself a new witchy sun hat in a pretty sage green color! I think I might add a ribbon to tie it on so it doesn't get blown off, plus I think it'd be cute 😁 I did a decorative edge of just repeating sl st, ch1 around (last picture).

Now I'm ready for sunny spells and adventures! 🧙

I've been in a little bit of a crochet funk lately so I made a derpy monster just to make me happy 😄 I was going for a well loved yet oddly made toy: uneven arms and horns, random buttons, and beads sewn on for eyes. Plus the yarn kinda looks like he's made out of old '80s couch fabric 😆

I continue to be intimidated by making clothing (I do have some half sewn pants sitting around 😅) but I managed to kick myself into making a couple of throw pillow covers! I found these cheap polyester curtains at a thrift store for $4 and got two pillows out of them. Sewing the bottoms shut on this slippery satin material wasn't fun but I'm pretty pleased by how close I kept the seam to the edge. This material shedded horribly so I did zig zag stitch the edges inside to hopefully keep it from falling apart.

The color is so pretty and matched a paint color in my living room so well but I couldn't get my phone to capture the color at all. The first picture is my best attempt at editing it and the last picture is the paint color in the room that is similar to (it's just a bit darker in the pillows).

At a local park they put up these little barricades I guess to keep people from walking off the edge but then they left them so long that nature just knocked 'em down and took over

Hilda knew Agnes could be a little sensitive about her artwork and yet when Agnes asked her what she thought about her painting of a black cat, Hilda couldn't help but comment "it could use more color". Agnes glared, wiggled her paintbrush, and suddenly Hilda's hat felt a bit... Wet.

Hilda didn't hate the added color and managed to bite her tongue and not mention that she found her old black hat kind of boring anyway 🎨

I needed a sun hat... I needed some added whimsy and magic in my everyday life... The Everyday Witch Hat was born 🧙

Crochet pattern available here: https://linktr.ee/lisabestitchin

I really wanted a cute subtle magical/witch/adventurer hat to wear as an everyday sun hat. I searched and searched but couldn't find a pattern for what I wanted (most are just cones with the tip flopped over - quite cute but not what I was looking for). I finally broke down and designed my own 😄

These aren't the most subtle versions but more fun to show off than my boring tan one 👒
