what a busy
hol! as usual i waited until the absolute last second to get started. pretty much everything was done on time. hip hip. but not without a great deal of break outs and gallons of
breyers ice cream. chocolate mint. only one all-
nighter was necessary. i have one more bag to finish this week and
i've already started a new knitting project and have a new rug on the loom. the baby has been sick since last
tuesday so getting anything done has been a bit difficult. that's alright, i think i needed a little break.
above are pillows i made for
steev/
jess and
ben/
kate. i tried to fit their individual tastes but i don't know if i achieved that or not. you can only try.
ben and
kate's are the skull and frogs laid out for dissecting.
kate said "oh i love the dancing frogs." i was like "yeah, they're dancing. that's what they're doing." i would hate to
disappoint.
i bought this awesome green fabric with raised velvety leaves off a clearance rack and the butterflies i cut off another scrap piece. after i stitched on the butterflies i then stitched flight patterns. the lining fabric is also a lovely flowered scrap piece. i need to take better pictures.
this one was for my mom-in-law. i love those felt flowers. quick to stitch up and they add such a nice flair. i made my sister a similar one with a flower, different material, but forgot to take a picture.
this bag i made for finny boy. i drew up the font myself and i'm a little proud of it. every letter is a silly creature. you probably can't tell. take my word for it. i figured he could use it for the library or sleepovers. whatev.
this bag was for cindy. my dad told me her favorite color is pink. i couldn't do a completely pink bag so i lined it with a pink flowered cotton and cut out some of the flowers to stitch on the front. i also used pink thread to stitch across some of the pin stripping on the navy. i thought it was a nice touch.
