Everyday a new experience!

I got a needle felting kit to make birds. I Love the little goldfinches and enjoy watching them at the feeders in the summer ....so I decided to do that one first...

FAIRY SHOES
I really enjoyed making and beading these wee fairy shoes.The shoes are
made from cream colored Ultrasuede and lined(fairy feet are very delicate you know!)
Sequins,glass beads and mini pearls make them special. They will be worn by one of my fairy dolls which is in the making.The shoes are 3" long.....Can you imagine a fairy doing the "Light Fantastics"wearing them! ;-}

EMBELLISHED POSTCARDS

I have had a wonderful time to-day working on more embellished postcards. The Birch trees were a first for me and I like the results very much.The beading and embroidery by hand and machine addsuch dimension. Can you tell I LOVE doing french knots!!;-}

If you are interested, these are for sale in my Etsy Shop

PLAYTIME!!!!

I have been working on an embellished piece for a gallery presentation.
The title is "Under The Sea" There will be fish added along with beading, and I have spent 3 hours making these wee felted balls,, which will be beaded and used as bobbles hanging along the lower edge.
The piece will be square up and put on a background.. Haven't figured that out yet...
My arms will be sore to-morrow hand felting the balls. The main piece was done on my Babylock Embellisher machine.

"Learn your ABC's "

This baby quilt will be for Alice a neighbour expecting their first baby next month. Alice is a kindergarten teacher so what better than an alphabet quilt!

I just finished the top to-day. Now I have to layer it and quilt it. I will show it finished when I get done. I had quite a time finding fabric to match the letters . Some of the impossible ones to find, I went online and found the pictures I needed and printed off my own fabric sheets..LOL

ANOTHER POSTCARD

This was my latest completed project...
another postcard for a trade.. Theme was
"Blue"and the title for this one is "Feeling Blue"
A collage of lace, metallic net, sequin fabric, and sequin stars, all under a layer of blue tulle. I used a rubber stamp for the face and the butterfly is a motif I did on my embroidery machine. It was fun to do and a nice change as I have been doing most of my cards on the Embellisher with the wool rovings..

ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!!




Seems the winter will never end....The snow is up to my knees on the deck!!!
Guess we won't enjoy a BBQ'd steak to-night!!!

From Canada With Love

I belong to a group of women(4 of us..Carol,Heather,Karen and Maggie) called the Mellow Yellows.

We get to-gether and sew quilts for charity. We have been donating quilts for"The Quilt" for more than 10 years bringing in hundreds of dollars for the cause.We are proud of our achievements which leaves us with a warm fuzzy feeling.

This year we decided to make comfort quilts for wounded soldiers.These are some pictures of our latest sewing day and the finished lap quilt we made. We used fabric with the maple leaf on it since it is on our flag

It is on it's way to a wounded soldier with love and hope it gives some comfort with our appreciation for the job they do.

BTW ...the room we use belongs to the Oxford Quilters Guild of which we all are members (Be sure and take a peek). It is a wonderful facility . We hold our guild meetings here and it can be used any time unless it is already in use.

The Magic Bonnet

Aren't these sweet... It is a lovely hanky made into a bonnet for a new baby. I was at a baby shower to-day and this was my gift.I always enjoy giving something I have made.

I will have some in my Etsy shop soon.

A lovely Giveaway

This Contest can be found here "The Lunch Date Blouse Giveaway" .
It is certainly worth a try ;-}
