MAGPIE'S MUMBLINGS

A blog about my interests, which include fabric landscapes and various and assorted other artsy pursuits and sometimes known to contain mumblings of a random nature.

Yikes!

 I'm wondering if I'm quite sane (and no, you don't need to chime in on that!!) to cut a small mountain of 5" fabric squares and then sew them together, do a blanket stitch around for a base and then crochet around each block.  The piles I thought I had have multiplied ten-fold and now I have these on my sewing table.  


Some are sewn together but most are waiting their turn under the needle on the sewing machine and then hours of hand stitching before I can crochet them together.  Methinks this is going to be a long, long, long project!

- I'm not sure that I like THESE because I think they're rather creepy but in a cute way.  But....while I was there I saw THIS and you know I'd like it.  I would recommend a poke through all the categories on her site...so many interesting things to see and try (go HERE for her home page)

- I guess it's never too soon to think about Christmas ornaments and THIS caught my eye.  I've seen them made from fabric but never paper.

- THESE would be most welcome for those who feel the cold or for people in nursing homes.
