Music on t-shirt and crochet

My youngest is obsessed with music.  Like most teens, a lot of music resonates with him. He also uses it as an escape when the world around him becomes too much and he needs to control the noise around him.  Often in stressful situations, his headphones will appear and he will use his music to relax and cope with the situation. 

So when I saw this design on Designbundles.com by Caty Catherine I had to make it up for my 16-year-old on a t-shirt for him. He loves it and said it was perfect for him. Hopefully, this will get a lot of wear out of it.
The red vinyl is a true red and not orange like the picture shows, it seems that despite having the darkest and coldest few days the sun decided it had to come and appear in this picture skewing up my colours. Such as life, was good to see some sunshine through the clouds at least

Keeping up with the using what I have on hand to craft with I came across a few hair elastics and decided to crochet around it with a small amount of cotton yarn. It's simply made with closely double crocheting all around the elastic. I have an urge to get hold of some velvety soft yarn now to do this in.  For the amount I need it's not worth buying a ball for it though. 

Wearing this one today and so far it's holding my air better than the elastic alone would and isn't pulling on my hair so I'm happy with it and may make a few more.  Having very thick and full hair it can take quite a bit to find something to hold it back or up and out the way. 


Having not been feeling to brilliant the past couple of days I've spent a little time doing a little crafting and resting.  Seems to be working, I've enjoyed the downtime but think I am ready to rejoin the land of the living and venture outside tomorrow. Meanwhile, I have to decide if unicorns or a flamingo is to keep me busy tonight!
