Being artsy

This past month has been a rather creative one. First, I found a blog called the Sketchbook Challenge, which is all about getting art down in a sketchbook instead of leaving it in your head. To help, they issue monthly art challenges, and have a Flickr group where you can upload your art to show off your stuff and enter contests and get inspired by others. So I joined. I haven't gotten as much on paper as I have in my head, but its a start. July's challenge was circles.

Its also been a big crochet and knit month. I finished a skirt for Emma, which wound up not being the right size (she grew) which I've decided to try and sell. I'm like to get $15 for it, but I can negotiate. It should fit a 9-12 month old, provided she isn't a really tall baby.

Once I decided to sell it, I started to think of other things I could make quickly and possibly sell. So, can I interest any of you in a headband? (or a scarf? sorry no pictures yet, they are still in the making) If you don't like any of these, I can custom make one.
