| MABEL My First Stuffed CRITTER |
Last night was craft/sewing night here at my place. A couple of co-workers/ younger friends(Sarah and Darcy) came over and we just played. Sarah brought over a bag of wool sweaters she had to create with so I got into playing with them. I have a huge issue with using my embellishment stash that I want to let go of and be much freer with it all. So I decided this would be a good first step in letting go. So Mabel was born. She still needs to be finished, I don't have anything to fill her with so I have just left her ready to sew and fill.
I gave Sarah a vintage dress that needed alittle mending and buttons, so she mostly got into that. I supplied the buttons, I wonder which ones she ended up using. I will most likely see her in it at work sometime. It was a fabulous 1940's housedress. Also sewed on a stocking she was making another coworker/friend. Darsy grabbed a few pieces of fabric that I had to offer to make an apron. It was a first for her since she hadn't sewn anything for years. We even made her cut out her own patterns with newspaper:) Time was too short for her to finish but it is here for her to do at her leisure. She only lives 2 blocks away. |

About Me: Hi! I am a fiber artist tryig to work on my art everyday of 2007. With doing this I hope my art will evolve and I will learn many new techniques this coming year. My goal is to be able to make my living doing my fiber arts.
I also make my own earrings when I have a need of a new pair.
I am an avid brick collector and belong to International Brick Collectors Association. I try to attend at least one brick swap a year to share my bricks and to collect new ones from all over the country. I am currently working on a hugh brick walk and patio.
Gardening is another love of mine, my yard is getting rather funky in my yard decorating. I go for the unusaul and people come out my way to see what I have added each year. Last summer was green beer bottles for the flower bed edging and bowling ball towers. I have no idea what I will be adding this coming summer.
