I fell in love with the Sew Pretty books by Tilda. I had to make this angel. It really wasn't difficult to make, just time consuming. Her hair looks like mine in the morning....
Since I've moved, my soon-to-be ex has not given me access to my things in storage, including my Halloween decorations. Therefore, I've had to make all new stuff this year. Here's a shot of the mantle and a close up of the mixed media picture of the Black Hat Society and the prim. wall hanging.
I've been busy sewing over the last week. Unfortunately, my son is still sick so I've been home more than I would like. I made the laundry bag at my monthly Amy Butler class on Thursday and made the dog purse and cosmetic bag this weekend. I sort of made up the purse pattern. I may post a tutorial soon. The cosmetic bag is a pattern from the book "Sew Pretty Homestyle" by Tilda.
Here are a few pics of the projects I've been making at Dragonfly with the Amy Butler's "In Stitches" book. The projects are great and I'm having a blast thinking of Christmas presents. I love the magazine/bedside organizer. You just tuck it between your mattress and it keeps everything handy!!. The polka dot one is some fabric from Hobby Lobby and for a friend's birthday. The sewing bag is actually a Butterick pattern using Lorelei fabric and some stuff from Hancocks. Amy Butler fabric is really the most beautiful... Here is a link to a great site Quilters Buzz with pics of Amy's new fabric line
Okay, I'm totally obssessed with Photoshop Elements 6. Best program I've EVER used. I've been downloading mostly free stuff off the internet to make scrapbook pages. I want to design my own, but right now there is more free stuff than you can imagine. Here's a simple page I made messing around this morning. Page kit is from http://sweetshoppedesigns.com/ . I know it needs some work but I just love this kit.
