My imaginary friend, Christy, runs a monthly craft challenge. Participants buy a kit, and then using the supplies in that kit, create a Something. Then there is voting and the project with the most votes wins a prize. With one thing and another, I’ve never felt like I had the time or the resources to participate in what sounds like a ridiculous amount of fun.

But guess what? Fate sent me an invitation this October. As soon as I opened the kit I knew exactly what I was going to make. October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so the supplies are (were?) pink.

Pink Pink Pink

You have to use some of each material provided, but you can add all the other stuff you want. And right here is where the camera battery claimed it needed a charge, so that’s the last of the in progress pictures.

With all that pink, there was really only one thing to make. I added a dowel, some more ribbon (no such thing as too much ribbon) and made judicious use of the low temp glue gun (coincidentally, the glue gun is also pink). And, since I am a knitter, some pink wool and this pattern to create a topper for my finished project.

Plushy Heart Dangly Fairy Princess Wand! Yay!

What every little girly girl needs. Here is my creation modeled by my personal Plushy Heart Fairy Princess:

Alaca-Cheese!

This was a lot of fun and after a month of thinking, only took a nap to create. Awesome. Thanks, Christy, for your crazy good idea and letting me play along this month!
