A little painting project

This painting project was purchased awhile ago. It was something I was doing for myself, so it got set aside.

It took a lot longer to get going, because I had to revive most of the paints. They weren't very "liquidity" any more.



This is the final painting.

Cushion covers

 Her helped me construct a couple cushion covers for a ottoman that was made for me. Her did the sewing and I helped with the measurements. I also got to take the foam in and out multiple times. (Haha)

But with no clue what we were doing, they turned out pretty good.

A little finish

 Good morning ladies,

    The sew-Jo has been a little absent lately as I have had sinus issues because of this stupid weather. However, I did manage a little finish. It’s made f some strips from some old fabric I found.


The back is wacky, two pieces I found in the bin. The weird floral Sharen bought me at a garage sale. I think I might like the back more than the front.

What’s happening with you?

Macrame snowman DONE!!!

This project might not have been a good choice for a first attempt at macrame, but I got it done.

This was the beginning of the snowman face. It took me quite some time to figure out how to connect it on the sides. I finally ended up finding a video on Pinterest that helped me.



This is the finished head. There was a lot of talking to myself. Just ask Her, she was here crafting when I was working on it.


Then Her help me figure out how to do the weaving for the scraf. 

The face was beads that I glued on. I also added the green bow to scraf.




Then I added a brim to the hat and attached it to the head. The project was completed. 

The instructions were a little challenging for a beginner, but I was stubborn and figured them out. I found them not to contain enough detail about how to do something or maybe it is just the way my brain works. 😄

On a roll

 Hi there ladies,

  Apparently I’m on a roll with pinning. I made a small starblanket for my classroom door based on the colours in the Treaty Six flag.  I tried a couple of layouts.



Okay, but I decided to be fancy and mix the center star up.
 
Since it’s small, I quilted in each point and the did straight lines in white and pale blue.
What’s up with you?
