Submission for Flickr Friday!
I knitted Romeu's hat. This small doll (1:6 scale) stars a Suicide Prevention Photographic Project.
the white is really stark kona cotton white - the green walls in this room is making it look off-color.
hope you like it, partner!
it was an advenutre for me - I did piping for the first time! it's pretty big - about 22x22"
Thanks One Pretty Thing for including me in your Flickr Friends roundup! :]
I made this leather wallet with hand stitching over five years ago. Still in pretty good shape, except the corners.
I finished the pillow for the Pillow Talk Swap - it's all quilted up and is a nice 18x18 size. Solid kona grey on the back with some fun ties I tried for a little something different this round!
It was a hanging flower basket. I made one, and at least one or two of my sister and stepsisters did, too. We made them in the basement of a church near where my dad lived at the time. Google maps says "Rebirth Baptist Church", although I have no idea if that is the same church that was there at the time. We didn't attend whatever church it was, so there must have been some kind of community recreation activity.
They were not built to last. From what I remember of the construction, it's kind of miraculous that it could even support the weight of a small flowerpot. But somehow this one lasted, through multiple house moves and many years outside in the weather. It did its duty in porches, sunrooms, and (last but not least) a gazebo. The cheap eye hooks that connected it to cheap chains had long since corroded away, but it still sat on a little table.
There's no telling whether this one was mine, but it doesn't matter. This is the last place I ever saw it, on my visit to my dying dad in December 2017. Its final resting place was out in the woods beyond the back yard. I hope a new pine tree grows up through it.

Earrings. This is becoming a tradition in my family ... the men making jewelry for their wives. Started off with my grandfather (a coppersmith) creating a keep-sake ring for his then fiancee. My dad tended to make brooches for my mother. I am making earrings to order so my wife can match them with her outfits.
This one is for me this time. The leave are the backing and squares the front. This will keep me toasty on those snowy nights as it is made from flannelette and lined with warm batting.
In order to practice embroidery I am participating in an weekly mini embroidery challenge.
Every week there is a different topic. Two weeks ago the theme was "typical outfit". This theme was oriented to regional costumes, but I made an atypical costume: a typical mexican apron, because they are very common in Mexico and many women wear them.
#IMadeThis bed this morning. (Much to my wife's surprise.) I made lots of other things, too, but they were given as gifts or eaten before I could photograph them.

I know all my Flickr buddies have ravenous appetites, so we just need a small dollop of butter and we are all ready to devour this lusciously delicious "Allo Ka Paratha" :)

Lamous (synthetic fabric) on Wood (~70x70cm)
I inherited the Lamous from my Grandmother, she was a fashion designer.
I love that fabric for tessellation. It's thicker and softer ^-^
Idea, design and realisation by me.
Size 3 needles. Half a skein of Katia Bombay 100% cotton yarn. The yarn was soft and fun to work with, although I didn't like the large-scale color changes, which seemed more appropriate for a sweater.
I'm not sure if this is too crazy for my partner? It's OK though because I love it, so if they don't - I'm fine keeping it for myself ;]
It is REALLY hard to get a good picture of. The back is just plain green Kona so it's only the front that is super crazy.
It's a good size = 10.5" wide x 8" tall with a 3" gusset. I would use it as a pouch to carry my hexie-making materials in.
I have a feeling that everyone will either love this bag or hate this bag - there's not much middle ground here! Let me know, partner, I can always make something more toned down. :]
The inspiration was from this tutorial at LiaSpace, with a few changes - I made mine a different size, boxed the corners, and didn't do the scales on the back of the pouch. :]
Contemporary baby quilt. The pattern was taken from the book Simple Contemporary Quilts by Valerie Van Arsdale Shrader. As soon as I saw it, I had to make it. I absolutely love it. (and so does Miriam from what I've been told)
Note: This image has been modified to conceal the baby's full name.
The traveller's-eye view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.--Aldous Huxley
Submitted for the #IMadeThis gallery. This is Lauren, and she is 7 months old. My wife and I made this.
(I know, probably not exactly what you intended, but I couldn't help myself.)
Lauren celebrated Labor Day and the American labor movement by not laboring one bit this weekend. This is her, on her hands and knees, rocking back and forth. At one point she even managed a proper plank, which is both funny and distressing all at the same time.

That's the name of the necklace, not the photo.
I've been drawn lately to jewelry as a form of expression. I never thought of it as a way to express feelings, thoughts, or personality until recently. Now I'm having fun imagining piece to express moods, stories, images, personalities.
I have one piece in my head that I may need to make. Even though the parts would be expensive. It'll be called Act of Violence.
Two years ago I (try) painted this boar. It was after many years without any painting my first experiment and I kinda like it. It was a present. Today I took a photo of it in the area where a lot of them live.
this has just been begging to be made for years. I finally got around to it.
now decorating the bedroom of the rockinest little girls in Kentucky,
(adapted from the designs of rstevens, of course. see www.dieselsweeties.com for reference)
1. sneak peek, 2. back, 3. in the sun, 4. quilting & binding detail
My first big quilt. Done with prints from the Daisy Chain line by Amy Butler. Kona cotton white, gray and charcoal for the sashing, backing and binding.
Based off a quilt tutorial located here by Amandajean, but I ended up tweaking the numbers a little bit to make it more how I wanted. (meaning: I don't follow patterns well :D)
See my "I Made This" set for more pictures of this quilt.
#IMadeThis neon* tube circa 1990 in a workshop at the Crafts Center at UC San Diego, a program which was in operation from 1972 until its shutdown in 2012 due to budgetary issues, and whose facility was deemed too expensive to bring up to modern codes and thus demolished in 2015. Even though the workmanship is not up to professional standards (many years of practice is necessary to be able to bend tubing evenly), this tube has held up quite well in storage for decades.
*Technically, this tube is not filed with its namesake gas (whose color the workshop instructor called “No-Vacancy Red” in a reference to old motel signs), but rather with argon gas and a tiny drop of mercury. Argon by itself glows a pale violet; the mercury vaporizes to generate the bright blue glow you see here.
