Crochet a Beret Without Counting Stitches

       Crocheting a circle without counting stitches!? That's ridiculous, right? Want to see how I did it? Read on, and crochet along!

Crocheted Bicycle Cap

#FiberArts #Yarn #Yarnstagram #WearableArt #Crochet #Crocheting #OnTheHook #Fashion #HowTo #WIP #FinishedProduct
        We may be looking at yarn, but what I see is potential! A wild WIP appeared on my Instagram last night, and gradually formed itself into a cute bicycle cap made from the yarn shown here. Well, I helped it just a little.

       It was crafted mostly on-the-fly, with a basic design in mind. The pictures show how it went from fiber to fashion. If you'd like to see the transformation, read on! I'm going to show you how I did it.

Free CSS Cheat Sheet - How to Use Cascading Style Sheets

#CSS #WebDesign #Geek #Blogging #Code #ScriptKitty #HowTo #DIY #HTML #Technology #CheatSheet 
 

   You've probably heard that CSS makes building web pages a lot easier. But how? Basically, CSS is a giant shortcut. It allows you to use one file to dictate the style of your entire webpage, instead of adding attributes to every single HTML tag. By telling the computer what to modify, and how, you save typing, save computer memory, and save a ton of hassle if you ever decide to change the style of your web page.

Contained in this FREE guide:
You Make The Rules  -- What CSS is and how to write it
Adding CSS To Your Page -- Three ways to utilize style sheets
Custom Selectors -- Use variables to stylize <div>...</div> tags & more
Cheat Sheet -- a HUGE glossary of  code based on my own personal cheat-sheet

   "Can you do anything with this button?"



   That's all it takes to put a picture in my head of exactly what I can do with that button. I immediately got to work, and grabbed my bead-box. After all, a pretty button with a shank in the back is really just a chime-style necklace waiting to happen.

   Here's what I came up with....

My DeviantArt Gallery- Favorite Arts from my Old Blog

#Deviantart #MerryLurker #Art #Morochey #Mermaids, #Characters #Original #Digital #Traditional #Pencil #Painting

   Today I take on the task of moving the art from my old blog over to the DeviantArt gallery for my new one. It's kind of like the digital equivalent of cleaning my room. This is so, of course, in the sense that it's totally tedious, and takes forever. However, it's also so in the sense that I'm rediscovering a bunch of my cool old stuff.

   I'm going to toss up some of my favorites, along with a link to my Gallery. I still have a lot more to add, so if you like what you see, feel free to follow me on DA.
