We leave for a week’s vacation to the eastern shore of Maryland tomorrow so no posts for a while. I’m excited for my parents to spend some time with Roxanne and I’m excited to see my awesome sister, Rachel. I love going to Bethany because we spent a week there every summer when I was…
Fabric Postcard #2
I’m practicing embroidery stitches. For this postcard I chose an image from my book of Japanese Family Crests, modified it and drew it on some white canvas leftover from our wedding chuppah. I love the crazy black and transparent button on the top right corner. The back, which isn’t pictured, is green and white floral…
Cinnamon
I finished this little kitty today. She is wearing a dress made from a vintage tea towel. The flower in her hair is meant to echo the flowers on her dress. She has little red mary janes on her feet. I used the same pattern for her that I used to make Sarah and Sonya….
Happy Father’s Day
to Charlie who is one terrific Dad who loves to cuddle with our little girl and with all my stuffed animals, too.
Green bear and yard sale finds
I finished this green bear today. His body is made from a thrifted pillow case. I think he’s rather nifty. Charlie has told me that my stuffed animals are “taking over our bedroom” so this little guy is up for adoption. This morning Charlie took the baby for three hours so I could go to…
June Bug
I finished my submission for Month of Softies. This month’s theme is June Bug. I made this bug from an original design. His legs are posable and are made from cotton calico (thanks again Bertha!) and his body and stinger are wool felt. He has little wool felt wings on his back. I debated adding…
Father’s Day cards for grandpa
Since I don’t think my dad reads my blog, here is his Father’s Day card. It is actually a card I made a while ago, but I just made the envelope today (excuse my finger but the flap wouldn’t stay down). Here is another envelope I made also. I love these two papers. They are…
Look how beautiful these cakes are
Wow. While lurking at a Live Journal cake decorating board (something I often do) I found a link to these cakes made by JollyBe Bakery. Each one is really a work of art. And, wouldn’t you know it, they are made by a woman who was home with her second child and started baking and…
June Bug is in progress
I started work on my June Bug for a Month of Softies. I didn’t submit one for May even though the theme was May Flowers which was so open to interpretation. So I feel I must get down to work on June Bug now before we go away at the end of the month and…
Owl #3 and Droopy Kitty
We were away this weekend in New London visiting my in-laws and Roxy’s twin cousins. Before we left, I made this droopy kitty that looks like a lilac tortoiseshell cat, seen here posing with the peach cobbler I brought down to CT. I think that’s about enough droopy pets for me. Roxy had a great…
