Three times - a charm??

Never let it be said that I don't share the good, the bad, and the ugly! You will remember that I've been working on a denim jacket and had it to the point of needing buttons and snaps.  A trip to the fabric shop yielded what I needed.  BUT.  And there's a big BUT involved in this whole debacle.  

I asked the RC to take a picture of it on my body and...yuck.  It's too short in the body (hits my hips at just the wrong spot....a little too short in the sleeves...and is shaped like a tent.  At the risk of crashing your computer, see what I mean?....

So...first it was a quilt flimsy....then it became a jacket....and now it's this....

Pattern I used is the 'Catch All Caddy'
from Patterns By Annie
As a nod to the thickness of the quilted denim, I left out the inner dividers.

The rest might be has been cut up and became bases for postcards.

- THIS is a project you might like to add to your arsenal.  I'm sure there are many organizations (think in terms of fire departments, police, etc) that would welcome them.

- THIS is a sweet little project that would work all year 'round.

- THIS is really pretty and could work in a number of applications.

- HERE is another fun little project.

- And HERE is another fun little weaving project.

Introducing.....

 HIM AND ME V
(FOOTPRINTS TOGETHER)

measures approx. 19x21"

FOR SALE!

- THESE are the kinds of bugs I like!

- Many of us seem to accumulate an over-abundance of shopping bags, so THIS is a good idea to make something useful out of them.

- THIS is quite pretty and would be fun to make.

- I'm sure you've heard of emotional support chickens and THIS cute little design caught my eye.

- HERE is something you might have fun making.

- Have a peek at the incredible creations of THIS artist!

Today's quote....

High hopes

 Yes, I had high hopes the latest landscape would be ready to unveil today but we decided to run the roads yesterday afternoon so I didn't have time to stitch.  So...I will show you a small section and hopefully will have the whole thing ready for showing you on Friday.

- THIS looks like a fun project.

- And so does THIS!

- Those who are interested in weaving might like to see the projects found HERE.

- Although this isn't the right season for THIS, perhaps you might like to consider the possibilities.

Today's quote..."Truth does not mind being questioned.  A lie does not like being challenged"

Perching

 I've added another element to the latest landscape.  There's still work to be done on this section but thought I'd show you the beginning stages...

- The weavers among you might like to have a perusal of the wonderful works by THIS artist!

- THESE would be fun to make, but I'd want to add something rubbery on the bottom for traction.

-THIS is a rather nice bag that could serve all sorts of purposes.

- HERE is something you might like to try!

Today's quote..."Life is the most difficult exam.  Many people fail because they try to copy others, not realizing that everyone has a different question paper"

Hmmmm

 This week I was given this quilt flimsy and I will be taking it to the local quilt guild meeting in September to see if anyone wants to complete it.  Someone has spent a lot of hours doing all those embroidered flowers so it would be a shame not to complete the project.  It's not something I want to tackle so I'll be happy to pass it along.

Sorry about the picture quality.  My quilt holder upper (aka The RC) couldn't hold it all.  I think it's at least a double bed size, possibly queen.

This is a closer photo of one of the embroidered medallions.  

- THIS is a rather nice little tote bag that could serve a myriad of uses.  And THIS is an interesting one too.

- I must admit I was gobsmacked when I saw the prices on THESE!!  Obviously I work really cheap!

- THIS is an interesting technique using embroidery to weave.  And you can read more about the technique HERE.

- The weavers among you might find THIS of interest.

Today's quote is from Margaret Atwood..."In the end, we'll all become stories"

knit, knit, knittery, knit

 I'm really having fun creating this blanket using sock yarn.  It's going to take me awhile but it's mindless knitting and perfect for sitting in front of the tv in the evenings. 

 

- Please check out this redwork block of the month that is starting HERE!  Block One is available HERE.

- If you like to dabble in watercolours, perhaps some of the ideas HERE might be of interest.

- THIS is a great use for a flannel shirt.

- Just look at what creative people can do with teabags (HERE)

Today's quote..."Every night we go to sleep without a guarantee of living tomorrow, yet we still set an alarm to wake up.  That is hope"

So you know what's happening now, don't you

 Yes, I've started another landscape (nothing new about that, is there).  It's #5 in the 'Him and Me' series I've been working on.  I don't know for sure, but at this moment I think it might be the last in the series.  

- Have a look at what THIS artist does - using clothespins!

- THIS looks like something that would be fun to experiment with.

- Amazing that someone thought to come up with THIS!

- And aren't THESE cute?
