My Posse

Well that was fun. I just spent half an hour trying to figure out why my post was converting to Hindu. One little checked box can really throw you off your game!

So I've been trying out some new mediums these last few weeks. I picked up the book Doodle Stitch and have been trying my hand at embroidery. Nothing too difficult, but I'm really liking the freedom of doing a little freehand stitching. And this really is something I can do in front of the TV with the family around so it's kind of nice in that regard as well. Here's a group of little dolls I'm working on currently.

Crafty round up

I was going through some older pictures and ran across some earlier projects. These were crowns I did for a few family members. Nothing like a party to get people to wear goofy stuff on thier heads :)

In an entirely different direction, here's one of my wire/goth tiara's. I like the rough yet feminine twist these have.

 

This is a perpetual calendar I did for my mom. Maybe someday I'll actually finish the one I'm making for me... 

A couple of altered clip boards for good measure-

A bit of spring

Here's a garland I just finished. I love the way it turned out! This is going to go in my new craft room which should be ready to move into this weekend. The carpet is in and all that really has to be done is clean it up and move stuff in. Once I get in there I'll figure out how many drawers etc, need to go in the cabinets. So Excited!

Saturday night's alright

For makin' some stuff...

Here's what I accomplished this evening.

Saturday mornng

I'm sneaking some time on the computer before the kids wake up. Shhhh! I thought I'd share some pictures of the little and not so little rascals. And here are the pics of the project I've been working on inspired by Teresa McFayden's great ezines.

Uh oh, I hear the MAMAMAMAMA down the hall. Time's up already!

Because one rainbow just isn't enough

This was the view from my office window this afternoon. I must say the Iphone did a presentable job of capturing the rainbow-tastic-ness. Yeah, I made that up.

New Year, New Look

So wow, it's been a year and I've done nothing. Well, let's just fix that shall we? Just a quick update to say YAY! I love the new look of the blog thanks to the gals at House of Three. Also I've finally succumbed to Twitter. Follow me here.



Here's a peek at a little project I finished this weekend. I really need to work on taking some better photos. At least I found the macro focus button on the camera so I think I'm making dom progress. Anyhoo, this will hang in my new craft room which is almost finished! Just need carpet and a door and my own little corner of the garage will be complete. A better pic will follow, I promise...
