New Hobby

I have been making pandora bracelets and absolutely love it. However, I won't be giving up my sewing and crocheting, quilting and embroidery. I am retired but still the days aren't long enough, life is good.

Main Bathroom

I wanted the bathroom to have a masculine touch so made a new shower curtain and a panel for the window. The fabric is black and grey plaid and I have a medicine cabinet to paint but can't decide to go with black, grey or white.

Sewing

I have caught up on some projects I wanted to make for our home.  A new coverlet for our bed in a taupe and covered some cushions in suede taupe. My husband says it's boring but I like the restful colours.

Gifts for my favourite girls...........

Using red wool with a subtle sparkle, I made a poncho for Sadie and discovered how red really suits her. For Samantha I chose a mottled denim blue out of 100% cotton yarn.  I'm not the greatest knitter so I used the loom for these projects.  I think I'd rather crochet, I can follow a pattern easier and correcting mistakes is easy.

Embroidered & appliqued paper dolls

Some more of my favourites, paper dolls. Their dresses are fabric and their hair, body and shoes are embroidered. Faces are also embroidered and I have used some makeup.

Embroidered faces

Faces are so interesting and fun to do. You never know how the expression will turn out and sometimes they even have attitude.

What's in a Name.........

I made these fabric and embroidered names for the grandchildren of a dear friend in Calgary. I love the children's names and doubt they would ever find pens or door signs etc. for their bedrooms.
