sewing.......

I'm a sucker for bunnies and any kind of stuffed creatures.  So......when I saw a pattern for this, I had to give it a try.  I've had the chenille for years (it was going to be part of a fabric book) and the felt, too.  Oh, and the pom-pom makers (in three sizes!).

He is just over 12" tall.  I embroidered his little face instead of using buttons - don't want buttons for little babies.  It wasn't difficult, well, turning him right side out took a little time.  The pattern called for a stretchier fabric but with patience and a chopstick, it all worked out.

I really like a project that I have everything that is needed to complete.  And I really like the way he turned out - soft and squishy.

and here is my first entry in my journal........

crayola water colors

added doodles but had some trouble
with the pens writing smoothly over some of
the paint colors.

does anyone else "collect" black pens?
this pile doesn't include any of my black felt markers
and that is probably what I should have used in the first place.

The idea came from Kristina Werner's blog last week.  

And check out this paper!  Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane......

The photo does not begin to show the richness of the colors.  I am planning a card class with these.

And it is going to be an In-person class back in Michigan, I hope.  (that's a little hint....).

More details will follow next week - at least that is my plan.

Woriking on  this little book, too.  Trust me, it will be a little book!

Last call for February Sketch and Scraps card kits.  

More info is in an earlier post.

And thanks to everyone that has purchased this year's class. (you still can!).

Be back in a few days.........
