Well, I haven't posted in like..... a while.... and I'm using the excuse that I've been busy with PROJECTS! I get really excited about new sewing, crafting, cooking etc. projects; and then I start them....... I know I'm not the only one out there who quickly looses motivation after beginning a new endevour, but after Mike informed me he wouldn't allow me to start making a headboard until after my chair upholstering was finished, I got to thinking, I'm going to try a little harder to finish what I start, within an acceptable time table.... and.... I'm glad to say in the last month, I haven't done too bad! I think the excitement and pressure of the Christmas season has helped:) Here are a few of my latest! ( I think showing off a little adds some extra motivation.)
Here we have 2 books that I "created" through Shutterfly.com. It was quite time consuming; I think I might be.... dare I say.... a bit of a perfectionist, but when they arrived in the mail, it really was like my Christmas morning! They turned out AWESOME! and I can't wait for Jace and Olli to open them on their Christmas morn!
This is a pic of one of the 4 stockings I made this year for my little family. I searched for some to buy and couldn't find anything I had to have.... so, I decided to WHIP SOME UP! and by whip, I mean spending way more time than anticipated bent over strips of fabric unpicking and stiching, over and over. But I love em!
These are 2 "Ugly Dolls" I created for some of Jace and Olive's best buddies. Evan gets the green monkey, Kade, the blue bat!! They're the CuTeSt UgLy Dolls!
So this here my friends, is one of those unfinished projects I was talking about earlier...... ya know the chair.... My dear friend has been helping me with it, but with this crazy time of year, we came to a bit of a stand still.... and quite frankly, for the last few weeks, I've been too scared to venture forward on my own.... BUT, I have decided that I'm going to just go for it, and see what happens..... Don't worry, I'll have Mari on speed dial in case of emergencies. I really am excited about this little chair. It is going to be fabulous, I know it! Hopefully I'll be posting real soon with a picture of a completed red houndstoothed chair!! Wish me luck! And good luck to all you fellow Project seekers!!
and a Merry Christmas!
XOXO
