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….
Something Fierce
Thanks Whip Up for featuring my Less Cowardly Lion today. Seeing the link there inspired me to finish the second exposed seams softie I had started – this alligator. He reminds me of an alligator sculpture I made in college. I went to Johns Hopkins which, at the time, had very few art classes and…
New Pincushions
I walked by this fabric last night on my way to the bathroom (I make rather frequent bathroom stops at this point, as you can imagine), and was finally struck with what to do with it. Make pincushions! I originally found this fabric on ebay many months ago. It is a Michael Miller print called…
