An image inspired by Marie Antoinette. I handcrafted the headpiece and bird from paper, and my six year old daughter is wearing a dress I wore at her age

Another handcrafted necklace I ran across when working on this week's Looking Close... On Friday challenge: Multicolored Necklace. Not very multicolored but still a cool necklace that deserved being preserved in a photo.
As many of you know, I am a huge fan of Sis Boom fabrics. Not only for the design and the way it triggers such a comfortable feeling in me but also for the quality of the fabric.... It just feels so good sliding along under the needle! My other favorite material to work with is damaged vintage tablecloths. Here they are together!
Putting my sledom used scrapbooking materials to another use. I enjoy making simple cards; I feel it's a more personal touch. These are samples of what I will be making for Christmas this year.
this little cluster of glee was made two years ago from bits and bobs i had stashed away...

Like VERONICA, these are cameos with yellow roses. A vanilla cream carved clay rose crowns the sunshiney duo. Same measurements as VERONICA Goldfilled earwires.

On theme 25: "looking down". My creation of the week after a bet with a friend. Not perfect, but decent!

it's a little crowded but that's okay, as there is never anything like too much 'glee' at christmas
My first attempt at making a belt, wearing the result in my Wranglers feels very satisfying. Working with leather was an awesome experience that deepened my appreciation for leather belts and men who wear them.
This quilt was entirely an excuse to make something out of a luscious half yard bundle of Alison Glass's Handcrafted fabric. I added in some coordinating chambrays and played around with improv triangles.
Title: Handcrafted Triangles
Pattern: My own design though the layout of the triangles was inspired by a quilt called Spruce Plantation by Bernadette May on the cover of her book Modern Nature Inspired Quilts
Fabrics: Handcrafted by Alison Glass and Chambrays by Andover. The backing fabric includes the fabric Months of the Year from the line 8 Days a Week by Windham. See a picture of the back here
Quilting: Machine quilted using Connecting Threads Essential Cotton in grey. I quilted three 8" spirals and then added edge to edge curved lines to fill in the area around the spirals. All was done using my walking foot. The lines are about 1/2" apart. See a closeup of the quilting here
Batting: Hobbs Heirloom 80/20
Finished Size: 84" x 98"
Started: January 2015
Completed: May 2015
I had grand plans to quilt this using large overlapping spirals. However, 8" into the first one I knew it was going to involve way too much quilt wrestling. I didn't want to abandon the spirals entirely though so I added two more randomly placed 8" spirals (it would have been more but they were too annoying) and then used much, much easier edge to edge curved lines to fill in the rest. Even though it wasn't what I had originally planned I still love the quilting.
Today was such a nice day :)
I woke up early and went for an awesome 21km run, my 5th half-marathon in 5 weeks, and with only 4 more weeks left until my marathon I'm finally starting to feel ready! The run today was so good, I didn't even feel tired at all near the end, a good sign!
Then I spent about an hour watching reruns of Storage Wars and making this cardboard Polaroid Camera, making things from cardboard is quite therapeutic....I totally suggest it :)
appearing in the shed, ready for friday
when my dottie angel dearies and i, get a little crafty!
having been holed up in my little ELF cupboard for more moments than i care to count, i felt a little twitchy and that little twitchy led to a shuffle...
not a grand big kind of shuffle but the little sort of shuffling that sends the twitches away :)
Mr Deer is now lording over this corner,
along with Blankity Bunnykins, the most loveliest of pesky bunnykins who sailed the seven seas from the fabby Marlous of Planet Fur, to my doorstep!
and some peachy postcards from the talented world of Jane (ATLITW) are now doing a perfectly perfect job of looking pretty... they are tempting me to add to them, whispering words of a postcard wall.
but for now i must resist temptation and finish up my last few ELFING duties so four children may have a gleeful christmas and two of those said four, may have the happiest of happy birthdays...
gosh, this has turned into quite the ramble i feel, perhaps i have been couped up in my little ELF cupboard for too long :)
