Smile On Saturday: "Handle" theme
It's a carved wooden cane that my father had that has the words "Carib Reserve Dominica" written on the handle. It's a pretty cool cane with a woven covering on the shaft. I have no idea where or how my dad got it, as I don't believe that he was ever in the Caribbean island country of Dominica.
I did some quick research and found the following: "The Carib Reserve, now known as the Kalinago Territory, is a 3,700-acre district in Dominica set aside for the Kalinago people, the indigenous inhabitants of the island." The name change of the district occurred in 2015.

Sempre fui apaixonada por corujas. Desde cedo.
Estas primeiras, de feltro, feitas por mim, vieram da gentileza da Ana, do BordadosdeAna, que me deu a dica de onde encontrar os moldes!
Well partner, this is what I ended up doing with those hexies. I hope you like it! The book is graph paper, perfect for quilt designing!
I used the Stitched in Color tutorial for this: www.stitchedincolor.com/2012/08/tutorial-journal-covers.html
Beautiful greenish-blue glass and warm brown copper make me think of a gorgeous stream that I like to wade in.
The mineral dress for Blythe. This was my favorite of this batch, made with super delicate gauze and hand dyed cotton and French lace. I only have 1 left of this dress.
The first, and possibly the last, time that I will make and ice sugar cookies. My vision of perfectly iced cookies didn't materialise. Nothing went right; dough not chilled enough, cookies too thick, first batch underbaked, second batch overbaked. Then came the icing, too stiff, then too runny!
At least I got a few that looked good enough for a photo for my last one in the scavenger hunt.
ANSH 129 (7) cookies made with a cookie cutter
Finally... I took some pictures of these miniwallets I made during the summer. The black one is for myself... I carry my credit cards and such in that, very handy, especially in the summer as I don't like to carry a handbag with me all the time.
inspired by a wall shown on project runway - I thought this would be a great use for my fabric scraps. I sewed the strips into blocks and then cut out triangles and bordered that with solid white. this is the layout i like the best... now to decide on the size! blogged here.
made for the Spicing Up The Kitchen swap on Flickr.
minus your official SUTK half apron which I forgot to include in the picture! :]
...handmade by moi out of zippers!
There was one of the facebook things going around where you had to promise to make up to 5 handmade gifts in 2011 for the people who commented on your post. Well it's Dec 9 and I am finished! lol... This one is yours Charlie!
p.s. did I mention how much I dislike sewing!!!
oh and the measurements in case you want to make it?
1 x 8 inch length of zipper
6 x 4 inch lengths
6 x 3 inch lengths
The centre is made from the 8 inch length. Sew a running stitch along the length of it near the edge of the fabric and gather so it curls up.
The petals are made similarly with a little gather in the middle and then sewing them in a petal shape.
Then sew all the petals and the centre together trying not to stab yourself too many times.
I recommend red zippers as it hides the blood better!
