Ravelry

There's a little store in that little village in Balboa Park that sells hand spun and dyed yarn and is run by a tiny old lady who knits beautiful hats out of mohair. She owns several goats and an alpaca, and she loves what she does for a living.

Well, I stayed and talked to her for half an hour (it was Sunday; business was slow) and she mentioned this very useful website that helps you keep track of all your projects, needles, yarn stash, and patterns.

So I urge you.

Check it out.

Coin purses!

Yaaaay!! So, I went to LA yesterday, and went to an AMAZING Japanese fabric crafts store. (I'll post an ad I got from the store later ;P) But that's besides the point.

So, at the store, I got some amazing Japanese fabrics, and went to Sis's house soon after to learn to make coin purses (yaaay!!). andand... it's amazing. Here's the one I just finished (that I started at Sis's house):

Pssh. I was too lazy to crop the pics.

Again, thanks to sis for teaching me how to make this stuffs, and for supplying me with the materials. x]

GUAC PARTEEEH XD

Hi Panzers!

Exciting news. We're going to have a guac party on Friday!!! wooooot!!!!  

One of the oldest Panzer traditions (started February 2009) is guac parties. We gather the Panzerpeeps, go to outside the ceramics room at lunch, and make guacamole, which we then devour. Its amaaazingggg... I hope you all like guacamole, cuz thats all ur gonna get for lunch xD unless ur lame and traitorous and eat other stuff ~muttermutter~ which of course is perfectly all right...

Back when we started having these guac parties, there were only about 6 people involved. Now, we expect there'll be about 10 people involved xD huge difference, i know. But even back then, it took some effort to organize who brings what, and to make sure everyone gets there in time to actually make the guac and then eat it.

Anyone who wants to go needs to firstly notify us ASAP!!! As in, NOW!!! And, secondly, let us know WHATEVER you can bring on the list (below). We can't be completely certain as to how much of anything we need until we know how many people are coming, but if you have a lot of something, please bring some extra! And pleeease let us know fastfast!!! Thanks lol.

Here is a list of what we need, and the predicted amount for 10 ppl:
avocados (10ish or more)
red onions, minced (2)
cilantro leaves, finely chopped (8 tablespoons)
fresh lime or lemon juice (4 tablespoons)
tomatoes, seeds and pulp removed, chopped (2.5)
tortilla chips (1-2 bags)
mashing utensils - large spoons and forks, or whatever - if you have a legit masher, by all means, make the rest of us look bad... (we need one per person, the best way to ensure u get to take part in the fun of mashing avocados viciously is to bring something urself)
bowls (please describe whatever you have, if you have a huge one, cool, if we can only get together 3ish medium sized ones, cool too....)
That will be all xD We really REALLY hope you guys wanna take part in this, the more the merrier and all that. And, as stated, please respond asap. Its THIS friday ppl...

Thankssssss.

New Earrings

$8 a pair. Will be sold at the Homecoming game. Price is subject to change (as with all our products).

First Craft(s)

Hey peeps.
On Monday, we'll either be doing 3D origami, modular origami, or crochet. If you know how to crochet, great. If you don't, I don't know if we'll have enough time for me to teach you all. Well, those of you who want to learn, anyways. lol.

Sherry and Sunniva are meeting at my house on Sunday to learn to crochet in rounds, and also to get going on our Homecoming items. Course, I have a backstash supply of things my little sister and I made over summer that we can sell, but those aren't really from the club. hrmph. So yeah. If anyone's interested in meeting at my house some time some day, lemme know. We can meet at Sunni's too or something (RIGHT sunni?! xD ur house is really much more convenient than mine lol. mine = 20 mins from school, urs = 2 mins. xPPP).

Thats all for now.
Again, thanks to all you peoples who show up for the meetings :]

Kimby

Hi Panzers!
Just a reminder:
There is a meeting tomorrow, at lunch, in the library courtyard. Please be there :]
Also, we are thinking about buying PanzerCrafts shirts sometime this year. We are relatively sure that they'll be black, and GORGEOUS ;D We aren't sure of a price yet, but it'll probably be around $20. Another option is making your shirt, the price of which would be $10. Note: The quality of homemade shirts will be way worse than bought ones, for multiple reasons.
Let us know if you're interested in shirts (and if so, bought or homemade).
Thank you! See you guys tomorrow.

First Meeting

For anyone who missed the meeting today, it was basically just an introduction.
To sum it up:

• we're not just a crafts club; we do foodstuffs too! as in... we have FOOD PARTIES!! XD ya. we're just that cool.
• Fan Yang is treasurer, Sherry Guo is secretary, Sunniva Martensson is vp, and I'm the prez (Kimberly Hom). If you have any questions, ask one of us or email us at panzercrafts@gmail.com
• next week we'll be doing 3D origami and probably some sculpey work.
• Homecoming ideas are welcome! so far, we're planning on selling sculpey viking earrings and crocheted stuffed animals, as well as some 3D origami cranes, swans, etc. myb even some owls ;D who knows. give us some suggestions...! :D
• panzers have close-to-none funds. currently, we have 12.84$ in the little purinpurin panzercrafts piggy bank xP! These funds were earned by MY LITTLE SISTER'S hard work, and she doesnt even go to LJHS! 3.50 was from jess's sale (to me! lol! YAY JESS TY XD lol!). We actually had about 40$ more, but I bought a crafting oven o_o (its for sculpey projects). So ya. we're low on funds. if you want to do some more expensive crafts, we're gonna hafta ask for donations. you will, of course, be reimbursed if you buy supplies for us that was NOT part of a donation. plz tho, get approval for the items first, cuz we dont want ppl buying expensive products that we really cant afford... heh....
  

I think that's bout it. we didnt really have time to fully discuss. much to my surprise, new Panzers actually seem to be into this! (namely, robin m. xD) hehe thanks peeps :D

Um... one last thing! NEXT WEEKS MEETING IS ON MONDAY! plz be there so we can further our plans ;D

Thanks Panzers! hope to see you all next week :D

Club Day... Success?

Hi Panzers! Thanks to all of you who joined us today at the Club Day event! In total, we only got 21 new members, but who's to blame us? ASB set us up next to Irish Club, the most popular club in the whole high school. They get about 200 members each year! During the event, our table was taken over by Irish Club, and our sign was covered by Irish Club fans. The jerks!

Again, next meeting is on Thursday, September 30th. Let us know if you can't make it. If you have friends who would like to join but did not get the chance to, tell them to come! New members are always welcomed.

Thanks again!

The Panzer Admins

TrulyOutrageous Creations!

Hi Panzer fans. It's been a while since I've actually made a real post. Anyhow, I've been working on some of "trulyoutrageous"'s creations, including her "Piggy" and "Kitty". Kindly enough, "trulyoutrageous" has let us, the Panzers, sell things made from her patterns during our club sales at LJHS, but not online. (If you do not go to LJHS and would like to purchase her handmade goods, please purchase them directly from her etsy or artfire shops: http://www.trulyoutrageous.etsy.com, http://www.artfire.com/users/TrulyOutrageous).

I'll have multiple sizes available at the club sales, as well as different sized eyes and some cats without flowers.

A big thanks to trulyoutrageous for supporting us by allowing us to sell things made from her patterns! :D ~huggles!~



Remember, click the photos to enlarge them to full size :]

Summer Projects

A few weeks before summer began, I learned how to knit. Two awesome seniors (at the time) taught me the basics, kindly loaning me yarn and needles until I could buy my own. And why is this important? Well, it means I can become a crafter!

I say become because I've only made two crafts as of yet. With little experience under my belt, I don't have any claim that honorable title. But I have ambitions. Soon a full fledged knitter will join the panzer ranks!!


Mistake Rib Scarf With Fringe

You can't tell from the photo, but the scarf is actually longer than I am tall, which is why it took me two months. I'm a good five feet six inches. But I've always liked long scarves... hmm, probably influenced by Final Fantasy games and Golden Sun.

I also made a yellow duck cloth. Hopefully you can make out the pattern despite the poor quality of the photos. See the front and then back. If you can't really tell, then it's no big deal. I... happened to make a lot of mistakes on it. (.___.")

So there you have it. :D

Whoosh! Hello.

Hey all you avid readers out there xD

Especially for those who read this site ONLY for the juggling stuff (I know theres alot of you ;D) Ive got neeews for yooou! I've actually made some juggling balls. And they're red. I'm not sure when I'll buy actual material for the PURPOSE of making juggling balls, but whatever. They're red. No complaints there. So yeah. I'm not gonna put up pictures, 'cause no one cares. Not to mention I'm lazy o_o The key part of these juggling balls, is that to get a set that's about the same size and shape and weight and hardness, I'll probably have to make at least 40... but... whatever.

Description:
Color: RED XD
Weight:... quite heavy hehehe.
Size: varies greatly (diameter: 1 inch - 3 yards ... its an approximation.)
Filling: soybeans xDD (why are they so heavy? i dont UNDERSTAAND T.T)
Material: something... soft and fluffy >:D
Level of perfection: for a 3 year old, 100% people. for a 17 year old... ....23.45%... T.T WHATEVER T__T

Ok. Done. I think what makes this post the best EVER is that its the first in about 2 months. The first of substance. However insignificant. Or maybe its the first in THREE months... ~glows with specialness~

Cya folks...

New Post :D

Wow.. Anyways.. I might put up pictures later if I find the connection cord D:

Craft Fair!

Hey crafty pplz!! :DDDD My big sis just told me bout a craft fair over in LA, and I thought I might as well post it here for anyone interested and who has nothing better to do this summer x]

http://www.renegadecraft.com/los-angeles?site=la

its July 11th and 12th, and free x] there're demos and stuff, as well as crafty things to buy, and idk. just check out the site x]

Meeting?

Um... people have been losing interest and we haven't had a meeting yet. Levi mentioned that he would prefer it to be in the first 3 weeks of summer, this being the last week. Ashley and Jess were in Hawaii last week but are back now, and Sunni's in Scandinavia some place or another, so she doesn't matter. Sherry I think is available, Fan idk, me yes. So... I wanna get this meeting thing over with. Who's available when? Sherry offered her house before for the meeting, but Levi said he'd prefer the location to be in La Jolla. Anyone wanna meet at some drink place, such as Jamba Juice, and discuss there? Or a boba place in Convoy. Please respondddddd...............

New Additions :D

Hey Guys! I haven't posted in a while :( But anyway, for you people who read the blog, I am happy to say that I am coming out with a new series :D I don't have a name for it yet.. But suggestions are helpful :D The additions will be posted up soon(er or later) and they feature pearls and some nice stones :D I also got some shells from Hawaii, and I don't have that many.. But if someone could give me a (HUGE) hint on how to put holes in them, I would be (IN YOUR DEBT) so GRATEFUL. Happy Panzering :D
