I received an order for custom journals. Since I can’t make just one, a few hours later, once I started, all the sudden, I realized I had started 8 journal covers. The covers are all complete, two have been filled with paper and shipped; the others are awaiting their pages.
Notebook Covers
I used a composition notebook for work, but I like to have something with character sitting on my desk. With school supplies on sale, I picked up 5 notebooks and used fabrics I found a local quilt shop to make some pretty covers. This tutorial is close to the method I used. However, I stitched […]
Mess
This was the reality of the tables in my sewing room on Thursday – an explosion of projects in progress, direction changes and laziness. The floor looked even worse. *Sigh* It still looks like that now, despite finishing a few of those projects and being home most of the day. I plowed through some administrative […]
Fun From Troy
My husband sends pet photos with captions to me and our friends every day. I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you. If Carrie were a cat Ready for pick up I love bubbles
Hunts Mushrooms
Another mushroom hunter. I like the hair on this girl and the basket was fun to put together with it’s interior and exterior. She hunts mushrooms for food and fun (8†x 10â€)
Sketching – Unfinished Randomness
I loved this girl as she is – the scarf is perfect to me. I’m a bit fearful of messing her up, but now that she is scanned like this, maybe my pencil can add a bit more to flush out a scene for her. Sometimes I can sketch a girl or two, but i […]
Mycologist
Another version of the girl holding a mushroom. It’s the first time that ‘fungus’ has ever seemed okay to add to a quilt. I like this jacket look on a girl, but I’m not certain, I have the look of a turtle neck captured right. She grew up to be mycologist (13†x 10â€)
Sketching – Book Lover
I have been devouring fiction lately, so I drew a book lover. See below for a list of books I’ve been enjoying. Practicing faces, birds and a moose! What have I been reading this year? All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness (Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night and The Book of Life) When the final […]
Foraging for Fungus
This girl is kneeling with a basket of her freshly picked mushrooms. It is far from chilly here, but I somehow see mushrooms as cooler weather activity, thus the sweater and hat. She enjoys foraging for fungus (8†x 10â€)
Sketching – Free Pie
Not only is it Wednesday, where you get free pie at Village Inn with your dinner, it is my anniversary. These sketches seemed perfect to celebrate today!
