Purple Elephant
I made this soft purple elephant for my friend Lynne’s baby girl. I just love this fabric – it is a short pile super soft fur. I had a yellow piece a while back, sent to me by my BackTack II partner, and this purple piece is from Maitreya from my prints for solids swap….
Due Date +1 and Still Pregnant
The bumper is done. Let me just say that one more time. The bumper is done. Yep. We’re ready for you little one – any time now. Here is a picture of the completed project. Clearly it will look better in a crib with a cute little baby snuggled up inside instead of surrounding the…
Cozy
Yesterday I made this felt cozy for a tissue box. I really enjoyed the applique and the hand embroidery on this project – the tedious parts of sewing make me happy right now. I think this cozy might look nice in Roxy’s room (which is done in yellows and oranges). I had another doctor’s appointment…
Placemats
I don’t usually take on craft projects other than making stuffed animals. I always lose interest part way through making a tote bag or an apron or, let’s say for example, a baby bumper, but every now and then I try again. This weekend I thought it might be a good challenge to make a…
Owls
Wow. That sort of seemed like a birth story. But alas, here I am still prego at Passover and still one centimeter dilated as of yesterday afternoon. This baby is due a week from tomorrow. I’m getting a bit impatient. In fact, I’m starting to think that maybe she’s waiting for me to finish sewing…
Kangaroo for Lisa
Well, I’m still pregnant. 38 weeks 3 days. I figured I might as well get on with it and start some projects that I might not be able to finish because hey, I might just be pregnant forever! This weekend I spent some time on this fuzzy white kangaroo and joey for Lisa. I had…
Vince and Collage #3
I went to the doctor this afternoon and I’m 1 cm dilated so that’s good. I’ll be 38 weeks on Saturday so I’ve already gone longer than I went with Roxy and the baby is definitely going to be bigger than she was so I’m happy. Uncomfortable, but happy. But check this out – baby…
A Deer and Collage #2
I made this collage on Monday night. Its dimensions are the same as the first one – 5″ x 5″ – and it is also done on a piece of cardboard. I’ve been saving that magazine picture of the phrenology heads for over a year. It also has a little painting of a bird’s nest…
A collage and a rummage sale
Inspired by Lisa’s terrific post about paper ephemera and collage-making on Whip Up, I made this little collage on Saturday afternoon during nap time. It’s 5″x5″ on cardboard. I used all sorts of paper ephemera from my collection, plus some rubber stamping, an original drawing of a little chick, and a curl of birch bark….
