It's Time to Get a Sewing

This bag sold today, as well as the rest of my bags.

That means it's time to make some more!

The www.zeegirly.com
hasn't paid off yet, but I don't mind the word of mouth! :D

Of course, I have one last paper to do before I get back to sewing.

And the WunderPup never does her share of the cleaning so I have to do that too!

More bags are a-coming!

Bunny ... not alien

Well, well, well. I made little Lisa a bunny for one of her mom's baby showers. The first one came out looking like an alien. I finally redid it and now it doesn't ... it almost looks like a bunny ... or a bunny in pajamas as my friend told me.



This is the alien looking bunny.

I did save the face (although I had to cut it down for the second body).





Here's the bunny I did give to little Lisa:

My first quilt

QUILT!

It's not a good picture (forgot to take the plastic off my camera phone - got a newish phone since I lost mine).

I am mostly done with the top part of my quilt. I am going to add a border and then I'm not sure what.

It has mostly orange squares (different shades and patterns), one white with orange flowers calico print, and the one green print with orange and white flowers.

I'm really looking forward to getting this thing done!

Pity Pat the Kitty Kat

Say hello to Pity Pat the Kitty Kat. This little creation was made from Bre Pettis's (www.brepettis.com) pattern that he shared on Make Magazine's Weekend Project Podcast.
















I really enjoy Bre's ideas (including the icosahedron project I had my class do!) and loved his sympathy doll idea.

Here's an excerpt of what he says about them:

The sympathy doll idea is to make a doll that is so sad and pathetic that it inspires empathy and love from people. You really can't feel too bad around these dolls because you just know that no matter what, you don't have it that bad!

So there you have it.

I have only made one and I gave that to Lia's daughter for her birthday. I plan to make more, though since I think they are fun and cute, although sad.

Stuff I made in Cali

The top two pictures show the purse/bag I made for my friend, Lia. She picked out the materials and I put it together. The other two are bags that I left with her to see if they would sell at all. I think they came out rather cute. There's something about each of them that I really like.

So, why don't I finished the one that is supposed to be for myself? ;-)
