This bag is made out of a vintage fabric from the 1950's, it is lined and has a zippered pocket inside. The front is hand embroidered after a picture from a 1951 French fashion magazine.
The bag is one out of a limited edition of three identical bags (as far as handmade and hand-embroidered bags can be indentical).

I've started on the Slytherin ornament. The backing will be gray and I'll sandwich the cream colored middle between it and another gray piece. The thin edging is going to be harder then the borders on the Gryffindor and Hufflepuff because the details are smaller and in three colors. So far I've gotten the green "x" done and the back and front cut out. More to come!
Happy Thanksgiving towel. I love the bottom pom pommy things we got them at Joann's I forgot to get XL rick rack.
This is my favourite part! I embroidered it while watching Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin.
This cute clutch wristlet is the deepest chocolate brown with adorable pet deer in purples, limes, powder blue and white. Great for a holiday party or to brighten up any grey day.

Thanks so much for checking me out!
I made this case for myself, to carry my work outside. I used scraps of fabrics I particularly love: the rest of an aqua cotton I've painted for other projects, which I then decorated with a very simple and slow hand stitching; a green tie dye cotton that used to be a bag; scraps of my second collection, and, of course, some linen with its natural smell of plants that I love so much.
Looking at the selected fabrics as a whole, their colours and hues, the reflection of white on greens, something reminded me of places with water, lakes, ponds, reeds... Maybe because of that, without even noticing, I've chosen a piece of wood, from my collection of nature found objects, for the closure, and a cord I made with the wool that is left from this sweater. And while I was stitching the wood to the fabric, I felt like weaving... what ended up being my favourite detail in this case.

This is on the back of the quilt that I made for my mom's 80th birthday.
I chose to do the quote and message in my own handwriting rather than printing it out on the computer. I think it gives the quilt a more personal touch.
Hand embroidered on vintage linen napkin using vintage pattern and my own drawing. Soon to be made into a larger item.

This is the first set in a series of 3 that feature the letters A, B, and C on 1" x 1" card (inchies).
Thought I'd try my hand at inchies. If I thought ATCs were a small surface on which to work (2 1/2" x 3 1/2"), that's no comparison to inchies.
This was a lot of more challenging than what I thought it would be for 2 reasons. 1) images that small are difficult to come by that relate to a specific letter; and 2) there's not a lot of space to embellish and decorate compared to working with a larger surface.
Nonetheless, here's a bit about the cards:
A...is for Art. Blue handmade paper and an image from the Minneapolis Institute of Art.
B...is for Butterfly. The butterfly wings are not glued to the card so they sit off the page a bit. The background is a piece of birch bark from one of the logs in the firewood stack.
C...is for Candy Cane. Same fabric on both sides. A red button is on the front. The fabric is sewn together using the blanket-stitch.
This set is for a book I'm going to make for Olivia (my 5 1/2 year old daughter) as she learns her alphabet. I'm thinking I may have her practice writing her alphabet on inchies and/or find images related to the letter and add them to the page so it becomes a book she helps create.
This would be a year-long homeschooling project for she and I to work on together.
These napkins are finally done. Too bad I missed the 2008 holiday season. I just pressed all 24 of these napkins. 16 are done in red and 8 in green. They are 20 x 20 cotton napkins and werereally easy to stitch on they just took a long time. It was quite windy today so the pictures are the best I could get, the light was great just was hard to take them.
