Slouch hats galore

Hello all!

Sorry I haven't been making posts lately. Now that my work is over (le sigh) I will have plenty of time to craft...as well as work more on homework. Blegh. Recently I discovered the joy of the slouchy hat. In my last semester as a college student. Typical, of course. I made up a pattern and have been going from there. I've made four slouch hats now. Three are striped and one is solid colored. Sadly, I don't have a picture of the first hat, which is gray and black. My other striped creations are purple and black and green and black. I decorated my green and black slouchy hat with a pin.I just finished my fourth slouchy hat today. It is black with a crocheted skull embellishing the sort-of brim. I really wanted it to look like Rhyme's hat from The World Ends With You.
I plan on making Beat's hat now for my fiance', just to figure everything else. Then maybe Rhyme and Beat's hats will appear in our etsy shop!

Bottle caps!

Because I have so many bottle caps, I decided that I must do a craft with them. So I have been painting them with the intention of making magnets, but I am having difficulties with getting the magnets glued to the bottle caps.

Here is my work station, I spray painted the bottle caps white out on the porch.


Here is the finished product, some of them came out better than others. The goal is do to the five mana symbols from Magic: The Gathering. However, they have proven very difficult to paint. You can see that I did the Avatar symbols, a pokeball, a tri-force, the deathly hallows, and three of the five mana symbols.
